Broad Ripple Park Carousel, also known as White City Carousel and Children`s Museum Carousel, is an antique carousel in The Children`s Museum of Indianapolis. It was installed in 1917 at an amusement park near the White River in Indianapolis, Indiana, where it remained until the building housing it collapsed in 1956. The ride`s mechanism was destroyed, but the animals were relatively unscathed and put into storage by the park`s owners, the Indianapolis Park District. The animals were carved by the Gustav Dentzel carousel company some time before 1900 but were assembled by the William F. Mangels carousel company, which also supplied the engine powering the ride.
