If you prefer carousels which actually work you could visit Broome County NY.

Between 1919 and 1934, George F. Johnson (1857-1948), shoe
manufacturer and great benefactor, donated six beautiful
carousels to our local parks. Johnson’s commitment to recreation
was always more than just good business. He felt carousels
contributed to a happy life and would help youngsters grow into
strong and useful citizens. Because of his own poor childhood,
“George F.” believed carousels should be enjoyed by everyone
and insisted that the municipalities never charge money for a
magic ride.

That sounds like fun. Broome County? I wonder if we'd see Opus and Bill?
