    About this place

    The Canberra Carousel is located in Petrie Plaza in the Canberra Central Business District.

    This picturesque carousel delights children & adults alike with its air of olde-worlde charm. The organ & the fifty two hand carved wooden horses & two elephants were specially imported from Germany. The twisted brass upright poles were made in Scotland. The horses are four abreast in 14 rows, two hand carved wooden elephant carriages, one elephant is white the other is grey. Most of the horses & elephants have names; even Pharlap has his place on the platform. Beginning life in Melbourne in 1914, the carousel was installed in Canberra in 1974.

    The Carousel offers paved pathway approach with limited access to actually ride on the carousel depending on ability. Unfortunately wheelchair access onto the carousel is not possible.

    Accessible parking can be found nearby at Theatre Lane & the Canberra Centre along with accessible toilets 100m away. There is a variety accessible restaurants, cafes & coffee houses surrounding the Carousel.
