An improved musical ornamental carousel formed by assembly of various structural parts is disclosed and includes on the bottom thereof a base provided with a battery compartment, a hollow support post vertically located in the center of the base, a revolving disc rotatably supported on the upper part of the support post, a fixing disc located at the top of the hollow support post and spaced above the revolving disc. The carousel also includes a motor-driven musical box and a motor for driving the ornaments mounted on the fixing disc, a drive mechanism containing a plurality of differential gear sets disposed on the revolving disc and driven by the drive motor, several ornaments driven by the drive mechanism and capable of revolving around the central support post while simultaneously performing up-and-down movements by the action of the lift rod in cooperation with guiding posts provided on the revolving disc, and an umbrella-type canopy axially resiliently movably supported in the center on the upper part of the hollow support post by a slender shaft rod and a spring and covering over the revolving disc and the fixing disc. Conducting wires leading out from the battery compartment in the base are conductively connected via the hollow part of the hollow support post one by one in series to the drive motor and the musical box. Integrally formed with the revolving disc are positioning parts for allocating the drive mechanism and guiding posts for guiding the small figurines to perform up-and-down movements and structure of the guiding posts can thus be simplified to obtain the precise up-and-down movements.
