Le Carrousel in Bryant Park, specially created to complement the park’s French classical style, is an homage to both European and American carousel traditions. It's 14 delightful animals, replicas of classic carousel creatures, revolve to the sounds of French cabaret music. The rounding boards, inspired by Bryant Park’s elegant barouque-style torchères along 40th Street, blend into the leafy canopy of the park’s London Plane trees.
Please note: Le Carrousel is available for birthday party bookings April through September. If you would like to book a party November through February, please look into our Winter Village event spaces here or our Cozy Igloos here.
Our carousel has three party packages for you to plan the perfect party for your child! Choose from the following packages: Fete Picnic, Fete Pastoral, and Fete Galante. Packages include:
- Unlimited rides on Le Carrousel for one hour during regular hours of operation
- Use of party space adjacent to Le Carrousel for an hour and a half
- Set up of tables, chairs, and umbrellas
- ID bracelets for use during the hour of unlimited rides as admission to the carousel*
- Onsite liaison from the park’s staff
*Please note: there is no exclusive use of the carousel unless booked with Pastoral package or greater, and the booking occurs before the carousel is open to the public. No exclusive use of the carousel is available June through August.
