Greenport's Antique Carousel

Hop aboard the famous 1920s carousel that plays center stage in Greenport’s waterfront village. The 40-foot wide, wooden carousel twirls its riders upon 36, hand painted, jumping horses and 2 chariots for an exuberant three-minute ride. Tensions run high to saddle up on one of the outside horses for the chance at grabbing the brass ring. The lucky rider to do so is awarded with another spin for free. Perfectly placed under a glass enclosed pavilion makes this a year round favorite for not only the young but also the young at heart. Us included! Open 10am to 9pm.
