The Best NYC-Area Beach Town Is in New Jersey - AFAR
"A historic structure at the end of the boardwalk enlivened by murals and installations, serving as a colorful focal point for public art." - Natalie Beauregard
Thank God some good folks were able to keep the powers that be from steamrolling this "copper-clad rotunda" into the bin. I've been wanting to come here for some time and finally did yesterday on a cold, windy day. Very appropriate. The carousel itself was purchased by an entertainment group in 1990 and reinstalled in Myrtle Beach, SC. What they say is that it's still operational to this day but with fiberglass recreations of the original wooden horses. So what happened to the original wooden horses?

Beautiful Historic Carousel Building. Sad the horses 🐎 are still not there.

Historic old building that is incredibly ornate. Worth seeing for sure!

This is an iconic structure in AP. There hasn’t been a carousel for many years, but the space is used as an art gallery, venue for plays, triathlon/5k registration spot, etc. It feels its age, but that’s the cool thing about it.

So beautiful! While in Asbury Park, you have to check it out! You may not be able to go INSIDE but it’s stunning from the outside. Also walk around the Carousel & check out the art murals all around!

The carousel is closed but functional as an art gallery.

Another Asbury location that is a "once was a special place long ago", now a bird cage with droppings and all.

The entire area is filled with fun places like the pinball museum and good food. An excellent place to spend a day, or night
