Wheaton Carousel

Step right up and experience the magic of the Wheaton Carousel at Wheaton Regional Park. This magnificent 36′ carousel is a true work of art. Choose your favorite steed from 22 beautifully hand-painted fiberglass horses, or perhaps you’d prefer a ride on one of our 11 striking zebras. Two elegant chariots, including one that is ADA-accessible, offer another delightful way to enjoy the ride. The carousel boasts picturesque Americana scenery, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
