Please note: The carousel does not operate when the temperature is below 45 or above 95 degrees.

Tickets... Tickets are $1.50. Everyone on the carousel (except children under age 1) must have a ticket.

Children under age 3 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and that person must also have a ticket.

Anyone age 90 and older may ride free.

Location... Cafesjian's Carousel is in St. Paul's Como Park, just south of the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory and a few steps from the entrance to the conservatory and the zoo.

Directions to the park, a map, and information about the Conservatory, Zoo and Japanese Garden are available here.

Accessibility...
Cafesjian's Carousel can accommodate one wheelchair per ride. A special ramp provides access to the carousel platform, where one chariot has been modified so that a wheelchair can take the place of the chariot's front seat.
