Come for a visit and get front row seat ride in a piece of Burlington’s history!
The Burlington City Park Carousel is a 3-Row Dentzel Menagerie Carousel built around 1906-1910 at the Dentzel Carousel Company on Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Carousel was purchased by the City of Burlington in the summer of 1948 from Mr. Carl Utoff.
In 2019, this piece of art in motion was due for complete refurbishment and restoration of both its artistic and mechanical elements; including, restoration and repainting of the menagerie of carousel animals, repairing and fabricating new mechanisms, upgrading the drive unit, and adding an ADA-accessible chariot and ramp. In addition to the carousel restoration, a new house for the Carousel was constructed. The new Carousel House is open-air in the warmer months and enclosed by glass during cold weather allowing the Carousel to operate year-round.
