Darling Harbour Carousel

Step right up to the Darling Harbour Carousel extravaganza!

Step into a world of charm, nostalgia and pure family fun with a ride on the beautifully restored vintage carousel at Darling Harbour. Nestled along the waterfront, this classic attraction is a magical experience for all ages.

Originally built over a century ago, the carousel horses have travelled across New South Wales, carrying generations of children on joyful rides. After an eight-year restoration, these hand-carved wooden horses are galloping once again – this time with stunning harbour views as their backdrop.

The Darling Harbour carousel is more than just a ride – it’s a piece of history. As the music plays and the lights twinkle, you’ll be transported to a simpler time where fun was found in the spin of a horse and the thrill of the ride. Whether you're introducing little ones to their first carousel or reliving your own childhood memories, it’s a moment of joy that’s both timeless and unforgettable.

Perfectly located near the heart of the city, it’s the ideal activity for families, tourists, and anyone looking to add a little magic to their day. The carousel is open daily and requires no booking – simply walk up and hop on.

Tickets: $7 per ride
Open to all ages, no bookings required.

Come down to Darling Harbour and take a spin on Sydney’s most charming carousel – where memories are made, and smiles are guaranteed.
