A brief history of the Balboa Park Carousel
Help Keep the Magic Spinning for Another 100 Years!
The Carousel Needs Some Love
The beloved Dorothea Laub Balboa Park Carousel has been bringing joy to generations of visitors since 1922.
Cherished for its hand-carved animals and historic charm, this treasured icon was recently named one of the Top Ten Most Treasured Carousels in the U.S. by USA Today.
As this century-old treasure continues to age, it needs ongoing care and support to keep spinning for future generations.
