Facts and practical information

The King Arthur Carrousel is a classic attraction nestled in the heart of Disneyland in Anaheim, United States. This timeless merry-go-round is a must-see for visitors seeking a slice of nostalgia and enchantment. The carrousel, which has been spinning since the park's opening day in 1955, is a charming representation of the whimsical spirit that Walt Disney himself envisioned for the "Happiest Place on Earth."

The King Arthur Carrousel boasts a stunning array of 68 hand-painted horses, each uniquely adorned with golden accents and vibrant colors. As guests take their seats on these noble steeds, they are whisked away to the sound of organ-style Disney music, creating an atmosphere of joy and magic. The ride is perfect for all ages, making it an ideal attraction for families to enjoy together.

The carrousel is not only a delight for the senses but also a piece of Disney history. It was originally constructed in 1922 for the Sunnyside Beach Park in Toronto, Canada, before being acquired by Walt Disney and meticulously restored for Disneyland's opening. The attention to detail is evident in the intricate carvings and the careful preservation of the ride's classic aesthetic.

Located in Fantasyland, the King Arthur Carrousel is a stone's throw from other iconic attractions, such as Sleeping Beauty's Castle and Peter Pan's Flight. It serves as a gentle and relaxing interlude from the excitement of the park's more adrenaline-fueled rides.
