Take a ride on a horse, lion, or bear

The painted ponies go up and down and ’round and ’round on the beautifully restored Prospect Park Carousel.

If you don’t know what to do with the children during spring break, take them for a ride on a horse, a lion, or a bear if you dare at the Prospect Park merry-go-round, April 14 through April 22.

Children can enjoy this beautifully restored carousel, located in the Children’s Corner, just inside the Willink entrance to the park. Spring break hours are April 14 through April 22 from noon to 5 pm. Tickets are $2 per ride, $9 for a book of five tickets.

Children’s Corner [intersection of Ocean and Flatbush avenues and Empire Boulevard in Prospect Park, (718) 965–8900; www.bricartsmedia.org/cb].
