Unlike traditional carousels SeaGlass doesn't have a center pole. The four turntables are driven by electric motors which is quite unique and pretty cool! There are 30 massive fiberglass fish, each are custom designed. The LED's are color changing! A water effect is created with light projectors! Some of the fish at the Carousel are inspired by Angelfish Threadfin Butterfly fish Regal Angelfish Orange-Spot Wrasse Betta Clearfin Lionfish and so much more! Current hours for June, July, and August are 9:00 A.M - 9:00 P.M. You can check the SeaGlass website for subway, bus, driving, and walking directions to the SeaGlass Carousel. Tickets are $6.00 per person. If you buy group tickets for 10, you can get special pricing for $55.00. You can purchase the tickets on site at the SeaGlass Carousel. This is such a fun experience. I highly recommend it if you're in the Financial district to stop by! It's a quick walk to The Battery and afterwards you can explore the park area! There is a nearby playground as well!

They have horses that move up and down, but they also have steady horses that stay still, which is great for younger children who might be nervous about the movement. They even have small benches where you can sit instead of riding a horse. The kids were very happy, the area was clean, and the service was good. ¡Este carrusel fue muy divertido y genial para los niños! El costo fue de cuatro dólares por persona, tanto para niños como para adultos. Terminamos subiéndonos dos veces porque a los niños les encantó. Tienen caballitos que suben y bajan, pero también tienen caballitos fijos que no se mueven, lo cual es excelente para los niños más pequeños si no les gusta el movimiento. También tienen como unos banquitos donde pueden sentarse en lugar de montar un caballo. Los niños quedaron muy contentos, el lugar estaba limpio y el servicio fue bueno.

Tickets cost $4 for a single ride for the general public and $3 for members of the Long Island Children's Museum. You can also purchase a 10 pack of tickets at a price of $35 for the general public and $25 for members of the Long Island Children's Museum. The carousel has been restored to its former glory. It is a beautiful sight to see. Some of carousel horses go up and down others are stationary. There are also 2 chariots and even a lion (stationary). The music is classic carousel tunes.

Our toddler Leo B. rode a carousel in Sacramento back in March, just before his second birthday,…read moreand he loved it so much he threw a fit when it was over, and the brief ride became one of his most salient memories. He talked about it all the time and asked to see "carousel pictures" over and over, and then we went home to L.A., where the one time we tried to drive to find a carousel, the damn thing was out of operation and we had to hide it from his view. So when we spent a week within a couple blocks of Bryant Park, we were thrilled to discover Le Carrousel at the beginning of our stay. Tickets cost $4 each or $20 for ten, and I decided we could manage ten rides over the next five days. I gave away a couple of rides, but we did use eight, so that was $20 well spent. Le Carrousel is in the thick of Bryant Park, not a huge one, but plenty big enough to impress small children. There was a cute little ticket booth, where I bought a punch card that I was able to redeem for tokens throughout the week (not sure why this extra step was necessary, but the gold tokens had their own charm, I suppose). The carousel was always staffed by one or two people who dealt with tickets and watched to make sure that children were attended and strapped in and that nothing went wrong during the rides. They were, as a group, friendly and efficient. The carousel didn't get busy during the week, so Leo got his pick of horses and was able to stay on for consecutive rides. There was more of a crowd on the Saturday, when we were using up his last tokens. Another parent asked us to move him off his favored horse so her kids could ride next to each other, and we obliged, only for Leo to become upset and for another full-on five-year-old to throw a loud tantrum and demand the same apparently very attractive horse. The mom who had us move then gave up the horse for this older child, and I wish everyone involved some minor indignity or discomfort for this nonsense, making my baby cry so a brat who should know better could have his way. Anyway, you can't always get what you want, and mostly, Leo did get what he wanted, which was near-daily carousel rides for an entire week. If you have a little one who loves a merry-go-round, I'd highly recommend frequent visits to Bryant Park.

It has been deemed a historic national site, as the initial carousel was built in 1903, only to be rebuilt in 1966 after a fire. It now sits in Woodhaven, Queens, restored to its former glory and awaiting children from all the borough and beyond. One wouldn't think the NY Carousel would be an underrated family activity given its history, but too many folks are unaware that it exists even now. The city has taken great steps to ensure its longevity and anyone looking for kid friendly activity or a little nostalgia has come to the right place. While it is a short ride in the natural beauty of the park, the surrounding space makes it an ideal getaway for families who want to book the space for gatherings of whatever kind. The Carousel itself is the main attraction of course, though there are other rides for kids that range from a train ride to a recently added mini ferris wheel dubbed the "Woodhaven Wheel." Ticket costs for the rides vary, but the last time I checked it was $35 for a 10-pack (i.e. $3.50 a ticket). While there are some small carnival games and story telling sessions, this is not a substitute for any major carnival / amusement park on a bigger scale in any way. Think of this as a place to kill a couple of hours with the young ones. I'd recommend bringing food in and avoiding their options (think hot dogs, small packs of chips, etc.) if at all possible. They've closed this section of the park for the rest of 2020, but I sense that in 2021 that they'll take great measures to ensure everything is safe for youngins / carefree adults to partake.
