Navy Pier Carousel

Admit OneIncluded Entry with the Go Chicago Card

Navy Pier Carousel 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 represent different styles 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.

Note: *Present your Go Chicago Card at any of the park’s attraction ticket booths to receive a voucher to 5 of the rides included in this guidebook.
