Jane’s Carousel is a restored 1922 carousel with ornate carved horses located in the Empire Fulton Ferry section of the Brooklyn Bridge Park in Dumbo, between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.
Originally installed at Idora Park in Youngstown, Ohio, the carousel was purchased in the 1980s by David Walentas, the real estate developer behind the revitalization of the Dumbo neighborhood, and his artist wife Jane. Jane Walentas oversaw a meticulous restoration of the carousel to its former glory and the couple donated it to the Brooklyn Bridge Park for the public’s enjoyment.
Housed in a purpose-built glass pavilion on the waterfront, with views of the bridges and Manhattan skyline, the carousel is open to both children and adults, and rides are $2 each.
