Yes the Carousel does go up and down. And it is fast. I don't believe there is an age limit. I see mothers with babies sitting on the bench of the merry go round. The museum has a small gift shop. I would check the web site to see what time it is open. The hours are limited during the week. The cost is about $1.00.
