You can use either. I used merry-go-round more as a kid, but now I’ll use either one, and I think carousel is a little more formal.

Carousel is used more often (from my experience), but most people understand that the words are synonymous.

I probably would say merry-go-round but some would say carousel. I think it's just a matter of preference.
