"Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round, Griffith Park. Open on Saturdays & Sundays, the Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round was brought to Griffith Park in 1937 & is one of the few historic carousels still in operation. What makes this one so unique is the original band organ & the story that goes with it. Walt Disney was inspired by the carousel to build Disneyland & the park bench where he sat is still there."
