Finally, Le Carrousel in Bryant Park is the newest carousel to open in a city park, and it officially opened on June 11, 2002. Manufactured by the Fabricon Carousel Company of East New York, Brooklyn, Le Carrousel is 24 feet in diameter and has a frog, a rabbit, a deer, a cat, and 10 horses. Despite its young age, the carousel's design is very classical, and its organ plays French music. The carousel is maintained by the Bryant Park Restoration Corporation and costs $1.50 per 3-minute ride.
