Looff Carrousel
The Looff Carrousel will open its doors May 12 at 1 p.m. in a grand opening ceremony that will follow the city’s Junior Lilac Parade, park officials announced Thursday. Two dollars will get you a seat on one of the 109-year-old carrousel’s historic wooden horses, all of which have been restored following the attraction’s closure in January 2017 to make way for the new building.
