Over 150 years old, 1300-acre New Orleans City Park is one of the largest urban parks in the United States and, according to a recent Times-Picayune editorial, "one of the brightest spots in [the Citys] post-Katrina recovery."
Since 1906 little kids and kids at heart have enjoyed the "flying horses" of City Park's antique carousel. Other rides to keep you twisting, turning, whirling and twirling within the live oaks of the Hines Carousel Gardens include the new Musik Express, Rockin' Tug, Coney Tower, Ferris Wheel, Bumper Cars, Monkey Jump, Red Baron mini-plane, Scrambler, Tilt-A-Whirl, 40-foot fun slide, Umbrella Cars, Ship Maze, Construction Zone, Live Oak Lady Bug roller coaster, and the miniature train ride that tours the park.
