The Grand Carousel was built in 1913 by George Kremer, who bought the horses for his platform from wood carver Charles Carmel. It contains 63 horses and 3 chariots and weighs approximately 27 tons. Musical accompaniment is provided by two organs. The larger was manufactured in 1888 by Frati and Company, Berlin. In the 1920's it was converted from a barrel organ to Artisan rolls. The smaller organ was built around 1900 by Gebruder Brothers, another German firm, and still uses the original style of folding cardboard music.

The two-abreast carousel in Kiddieland was carved by the firm of Stein and Goldstein. From their shop in Brooklyn, these two men carved carousel figures from 1912 to 1918. This merry-go-round was once owned by Lawrence Knoebel, one of Henry's sons. Lawrence took the machine to fairs and carnivals in the 1940's. It was sold in the early 1950's and changed owners several times. It was repurchased by Knoebels in 1975, completely restored and returned to the park in 1976 for Knoebels 50th year of operation.

The organ playing at this ride was originally made by the Bruder firm of Waldkirch, Germany. It came to Knoebels with the original carousel in 1926. It was converted to play American made pinned cylinders by the Wurlitzer Company. In storage for 50 years, it fell victim to vandals, thieves, and countless squirrels and rodents.
