Book Direct with the Owner at The Carousel with Melbourne 4u in Geelong, for all your Attraction and travel needs.
The Carousel is an Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel that was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world. Featuring 36 Dare horses and two chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored. The Carousel is housed in a beautiful Glass Pavilion located on Waterfront Geelong.
The Carousel has become an ideal accessible meeting place for the community, and City of Greater Geelong take pride in providing a memorable experience for all ages and abilities. This has been made possible with improved access to the pavilion, the welcome installation of a mobility lift and recharge point.
The Carousel also offers Children’s Birthday Parties, Wedding Ceremonies and Receptions and Corporate Functions.
