Carousel Support and Information: National Carousel Association
 

Welcome to the National Carousel Association!


Since 1973 the National Carousel Association has been working to keep America's remaining carousels in operation. Through a wide range of programs and projects, the NCA has participated in the restoration and preservation of many of the antique carousels in operation in our country today.

Want to help ensure that these carousels will be around for your children and grandchildren? Join the National Carousel Association today!

The next time you're near Columbus, Ohio, be sure to visit the zoo and take a ride on their Grand Carousel. This 1914 Mangels-Illions carousel is one of only a few Illions machines still in operation.

The horses on this carousel not only go up and down, they also go sideways! Make sure to ride each of its 52 horses soon!

This carousel received the NCA Historic Carousel award in 2006!
