About Fantasy Forest at the Flushing Meadows Carousel
Fantasy Forest is a small ride park next to the Queens Zoo in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, built around the carousel from the 1964–65 World's Fair. It has the Corona Cobra coaster, a train, teacups and carnival games, sized for kids about 3 to 12. There is no admission; rides are pay-per-ride, and a weekday wristband is the best value.
