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

Tickets... Tickets are $2; everyone on the carousel must have one.

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

Exception: babies under age 1 and adults age 90 and older may ride free.

Easy to find... Cafesjian's Carousel is in St. Paul's Como Park, just south of the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory and a few steps from the Visitor Center.

Directions to the park and a map are on the visitor's guide section of the Como Park website. While you're there, check information on parking and the colorful (and convenient) shuttle bus.

Accessible...
Our carousel can accommodate one wheelchair per ride. A rolling ramp provides access to the carousel platform, where one chariot is modified so a wheelchair can sit in place of the chariot's front seat.
