Navy Pier Carousel

CLOSED IN WINTER. Located near the Ferris wheel in Navy Pier Park is the Pier's exclusively designed musical carousel. This whimsical work of art recreates the Pier's golden age of the 1920s when a similar attraction delighted another generation of visitors. The Carousel’s three dozen hand-painted animals found throughout the history of carousels, a great American folk art. Horses, chariots, and a playful frog are just a few of the featured characters waiting to carry children of all ages. The hand-painted rounding boards at the top of the 44-foot carousel depict scenes of Navy Pier's history.
