Help Keep the Flying Horses flying!
This magnificent carousel has brought enormous joy and fond memories to youngsters for over a hundred years. We all love Flying Horses and are working to help it retain its glory to provide generations the thrill of capturing the gold ring! It has existed for 146 years, and our wish is it will operate for at least another century. Donate below today!






To make that happen, this is what we need to do:
- Repaint the beautifully carved horses
- Refurbish the rotating platform that secures the horses
- Repaint the property
- Restore the infrastructure
Join the Friends of Flying Horses and invite everyone you know who has experienced the carousel to become part of the circle.
