LeRoy King Carousel

The historic 1906 LeRoy King Carousel operates beside the Children's Creativity Museum with separate tickets, height supervision rules, and Wednesday-through-Sunday hours.

There is no free garden lot. Use BART, Muni, walking, cycling, or a paid SoMa garage; conventions and downtown events sharply increase demand.

The carousel is currently listed Wednesday and Thursday noon to 4 p.m. and Friday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; verify before visiting.

Public restrooms are open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., shorter than garden hours. Partner attractions have separate customer facilities.

Garden admission, lawns, public art, and many programs are free. Museums, carousel, skating, bowling, food, parking, and selected events charge separately.

Developed garden paths, elevators, ramps, and adjacent cultural facilities provide multiple routes, but event setups and the multi-block layout can change circulation.

Follow posted garden rules and keep pets controlled around lawns, children's areas, fountains, food, public art, and crowded events. Service animals are allowed where required.

The children's garden, play circle, carousel, Creativity Museum, lawns, and nearby food form a strong downtown family cluster, with separate hours and fees.

Garden access is free, but attractions and restroom hours differ. Check conventions, festivals, rain, wind, fountain maintenance, and the live event calendar.

Powell Street and Montgomery BART/Muni stations and numerous buses are within walking distance. Transit is usually easier than parking.
