17 Blomsterkarusellen

As you enter Liseberg through the main (north) entrance, one of the first things you notice is the white carousel, moving counter-clockwise. 

Do all carousels at Liseberg move in the same direction? Keep your eyes open! (Read more)

You cannot ride the carousel at the entrance. Go instead to the Children's paradise in the upper part of Liseberg and find the Blomsterkarusellen, where you can do a small investigation if you have a small cuddly toy hanging from a soft string.

As the carousel moves, pull the toy to the side and let go, so it swings freely (the hand holding the string should not move). Observe!
