Carousel Columbia is a towering double-decker carousel that serves as a charming centerpiece of California’s Great America. This classic attraction features beautifully detailed horses and ornate chariots, all set beneath elegant canopies and glittering lights.

Whether you choose an upper- or lower-level ride, you’re treated to relaxing views of the surrounding midway. It’s an ideal stop for a calm break between coasters or a picturesque start or end to your park day.
