Jane's Carousel/ Idora Park's Carousel

Does anyone know if this carousel is open to the public yet? It is supposed to be in Dumbo. It was very special to my father growing up and I would love to surprise him by showing it to him next weekend.

Last summer it was on display on Water Street just south of Main street. It is beautiful. You might try calling the Two Trees Office and ask them.

Yes, it's still on display. You can't ride it yet, but it does run when the storefront where it is housed is open. I walked by recently when it was closed, and you can still see the carousel through the gate at the location. I also grew up in Youngstown and rode it as a kid -- and I've met others, like your dad, at some of the events held when the carousel was still being restored. I'm sure your dad will enjoy it because it does look amazing to see it in such pristine shape.
