The Carousel in Congress Park is a historic wooden carousel designed by Marcus Charles Illions. The carousel usually opens for the year in early May for weekends only, until the school year ends in mid to late June, then operates daily from late morning until dusk. After Labor Day, the carousel returns to weekend-only hours through to Halloween.  It is also open for many special events in Saratoga Springs, including the Victorian Streetwalk in December and First Night Saratoga on New Years Eve.

The Carousel is also available for rent. During the rental period, the Lessee shall have the exclusive right to use the Carousel in any manner that the general public shall ordinarily use it during normal operating hours.
