LEGO set 10257 “Carousel” depicts a fairground carousel in Creator Expert, within the broader Creator theme. Released in 2017, it contains 2670 pieces and pairs a decorative attraction model with a group of minifigures.

The model is designed as a self contained fairground scene, with the circular ride, ornamental details and visiting characters forming the main subject.

The build is centered on a round structure, with repeated decorative elements that support the carousel theme.

It is well suited to display, especially for builders who want a fairground subject with visible scene setting. The included minifigures also make it suitable for play and storytelling. Within Creator Expert, it can be viewed as a complete attraction model rather than a standalone vehicle or building.
