We launch the season by dedicating the new Historical Exhibit along the walkway. In honor of our 25th anniversary, we are introducing a series of signs recounting the rich narratives of the Heritage Carousel, Union Park, and the Union Park Neighborhood.

Don’t forget to purchase your 2024 Season Pass! 

Passes are currently available for purchase on our website and at the Carousel. Or purchase a Frequent Rider card or bulk tokens when you visit us — we are proud to keep a single ride for a child is just .50 cents (adults just $1.00)!

The Des Moines Carousel Foundation is the not-for-profit organization that supports the Heritage Carousel. Your support keeps the Carousel at .50 cents a ride for children and well-maintained all year long!
