đ Como Park, MN
Cafesjian's Carousel is a restored 1914 Philadelphia Toboggan Company carousel in St. Paul's Como Park. All 68 horses are jumpers. Each ride lasts 4.5 minutes. Free ride days run monthly May through September.
This is a wonderful historic, antique hand-painted beautiful carousel. All the horses are Jumpers in it goes pretty fast. Music can be loud for little ones. We love that there is a free day for rides on the 4th Tuesday May-September!
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 2 and up. The jumping horses and full-ride duration make this more engaging than typical carousel rides. Very young children or those sensitive to loud sounds may find the Wurlitzer organ overwhelming at close range â request a spot on the outer rows for a slightly softer experience.

Michael Hecker - Park Reviewer
âWow! This has to be the most fun and historical carousel in Minnesota. We never miss it when we visit Como Zoo and Park. The carousel ride with four rows and a total of 68 horses that all go up and down. The ride lasts 4.5 minutes and surprisingly goes pretty fast. Our granddaughter loved it. We all loved its grandeur and beauty. Each horse is so unique. Fun for kids of all ages and smiles abound.â

Overview
Built in 1914 by Philadelphia Toboggan Company, this 50-foot carousel is one of only three remains operating in original paint. All 68 horses are jumpers â every rider gets the full up-and-down experience. Rides last 4.5 minutes and move at a brisk pace. A functioning Wurlitzer 153 Band Organ provides live mechanical music throughout each ride. Located in Como Park next to Como Zoo, the carousel runs May through Labor Day Thursday to Monday, with weekend operation extending through late October.
