Kingsport Carousel & Park

For just a dollar per ride, children can enjoy the carousel any time of year. The Kingsport Carousel’s dogs, cats, dragons, tiger, zebras, and of course, horses were hand-carved and hand-painted by over 300 volunteers, making it a true local treasure. The animals sit upon a refurbished 1956 frame made by the Allan Herschell Company, one of the most prolific carousel makers in the country.
