The Carousel at National Harbor

What a nice little area of National Harbor right next to the water and the big ferris 🎡 wheel. This kid-size 🎠 carousel is decently priced and you can get a ticket for all day rides along with ample seating for parents/adults and a fenced in playground as well. Lovely spot for a nice morning or afternoon on the weekend.

Omg. Talk about bringing back your childhood or make a fun memo with your kids. This is a classic carousel you have to ride. Just park in the lot right out front and get on it.

A little pricey but great views, friendly staff and the kids loved it. I believe it went around 5 times.

Great place to come take a stroll on any season of the year. There's a lot to see and do for everyone in the family. Great restaurants awesome stores.

If you can use lot, it is far better. Easy in/out.

A nice place to see as a short visit. I’m referring to the whole area and not the wheel in particular.

I took my cousins here to ride the Spirit Park Carousel and they had a great time overall! You just pay once and get unlimited rides on The Carousel for the day along with unlimited access to the playground area. The area as a whole was very inviting and well-established. To compliment this, we rode The Capital Wheel and had some delicious Dippin' Dots. Can you believe to keep the ice cream in dots form they store them at -40 degrees? That's almost as cold as Antartica!

Great place for kids, with unlimited rides and play area time.

My daughter loved the carousel. We went for a birthday party and she got a pass for unlimited rides. 3 hours later, she still wasn't ready to leave. Perfectly tucked away by the water and the observation wheel. Plus it slightly away from the foot traffic of the bars, shops and restaurants. Perfect!

Had my baby's 3rd bday party here. It was very nice. I paid 400.00 for 2 hrs and unlimited access to the merry-go-round and playground. It was nice the kids enjoyed it

Now that It's getting darker earlier... it's easier to experience an amazing sunset carousel ride. You can spend a little more and get one that lets you control your own music. So many amazing views while up there. I would suggest as a nice date.

This is a beautiful carousel at National Harbor. There are many different animals in addition to the traditional horses (hummingbird, tiger, eagle, polar bear, lion). Children pay a flat fee ($7.00) and receive a wristband that allows them to ride all day. I really liked that. When we went (Mid-week), it was not crowded and my child just stayed on the carousel till she was tired of riding it (about 8 times). I thought that was great. I rode with her (standing) since she is small and I was not charged an extra fee. There are picnic tables near the carousel. I would definitely go back to this carousel.

Who doesn't love a carousel!? If you are a parent of little ones visiting I would recommend parking at the outdoor parking lot near the carousel instead of one of the garages. Sometimes this parking lot fills up but it's definitely worth checking. In addition to the carousel there is also a small play area that is included with the price of entry.

Wow, did we enjoy the ride. The views are spectacular. There wasn't a very long line when we got there, and we got on the second ride. If you get the chance, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Beautiful Carousel with a great view! <3

I went there on June 29th to celebrate my daughter first birthday party with 10 children everything was perfect and we had a great time with kids , the ride was unlimited for them , but I had limited time with the table they were set up just for 2 hrs with a Golden Package ...I really like it definitely I will come back during the summer and for next Birthday...💞

Great day to ride the Wheel! Short wait...about 6 minutes. The attendants were friendly and courteous and the view was fantastic. The ride was smooth.

$7 for unlimited rides, need I say more?

Such a beauty. So much fun at National Harbor.
