Questions & answers

Q:
Can a 2 year old ride on it?
A:
I don't know for sure, but I don't see why not if someone is holding the child. It's a gentle ride.
Q:
Is there a long wait in line? In daytime or evening?
A:
Depends what time of year you visit. I can imagine it will be very busy from now until 2nd January. I tend to find most venues are easy to walk into after the holidays.
Q:
It appears this has seat belts? Is that the case? If so, do you have to wear it? I've never worn a seat belt on a carousel.
A:
Hi there, yes there is a single strap that fits by being pulled across the lap

I think the wait was about 5 min. We were there over the Christmas holiday last year; so it might depend upon the season. But regardless, it’s magical and well worth the wait. Made me feel surrealistically beautiful. (No-I wasn’t on drugs-never done them in fact.) I think others may get something different out of it, depending on what mood you’re in to begin with; but I will definitely go back again the next time I’m in NYC. Potentially go a couple of times in the same day even - I liked it that much. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed it and felt it’s very beautiful.
