Totally fine, but would have liked a heads up on the change of hours on their Facebook, website, trip advisor, signs outside, or voicemail. I drove about forty minutes one way to get to a closed building. So that sucked. But! Went the next Saturday and it was so delightful. Everyone was very kind and it was a fun experience for any age looking for some whimsy. Would've given five stars but not updating hours on any of their related websites & they had merch on display that was not for sale for the last couple months that they didn't take down (got my hopes up when trying to buy a little hippocampus and then they told me they have none available anymore because the distributor went out of business a while ago ).

Stopped at Franklin Square during a Big Bus city holiday lights tour to see the PECO Light Show, a…read morelight show synchronized to seasonal music throughout the entire area. The park's carousel is illuminated with festive lights, and seemed to be a hit with the families present. Seasonal treats and warm beverages were available at the on-site SquareBurger, priced as one would expect at a tourist location like this. While the festive decorations and activities are lovely, the park was quite crowded, while we were there. Also, the bathroom trailer was absolutely disgusting, despite a small team of custodial employees on site, so plan on holding it while you're there if you can! All in all, Franklin Square was a pleasant diversion, I wouldn't make a special trip to visit.

I think we lost count of how many times we came here for kids birthday parties! We also celebrated…read morekidchella here as well. Each time the little ones are thoroughly entertained! The birthday parties usually start with the indoor play area and expanding the 3 floors with a plethora of toys and entertainment! Then headed outside with tons of free space and multiple playgrounds (for some reason we always end up at the potato sack slide for a million rounds lol). It's an amazing space for no charge (with donation opportunities at times). As with any outdoor space, after dusk the mosquitos feast!

While I was exploring The Battery, I stumbled across SeaGlass Carousel! I heard beautiful music…read moreplaying in the park and saw that there was the SeaGlass Carousel! 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!

The beer garden, which cards at the entrance, also has cold beer for $4 or $5 including Miller Lite, Yuengling, and an IPA. The rides are always fun, with large and small Ferris wheels, the Pharoh's fury (swinging ship), the Gravitron, swings, a giant slide, the Merry-Go-Round, etc. In recent years, they've replaced all of the upside down rides that used to be there, such as the Zipper and Spin Out (much to my disappointment). Lines are much better on weekdays, and tickets are half price if you buy them during the pre-sale. There's plenty of food to eat, such as panzarottis (giant pizza rolls), burgers, dogs, fries, pizza, etc. There's an Italian night and a Polish night too, where foods from these countries are featured. There's so much to do, and if nothing else, it's always fun to people watch here too!

We just celebrated my daughter's first birthday at the carousel on 6/23/19 and let me tell you that…read morethe entire experience from start to finish was amazing. Every time I called or spoke to someone, they were so kind, willing to answer every question I had and assured me that everything would be perfect. They were right. The space for the carousel is for 50 people because that is how many chairs they have available. We had over 50 people there and you never felt crammed or squashed. There was SO much space. We had entertainers come and they had room to set up and put on their shows as well. They park provides 6 rectangular tables for guests to sit at as well as 3 other tables that could be used to food, gifts, favors..etc. The carousel operator ( I wish I would have remembered her name) was amazing- she was so kind and attentive and even gave the baby a t shirt! The staff working at the concession was also so helpful in letting us unload the food and drinks prior to the party start time. A special thank you to Emily who really went above and beyond to make sure everything went right. The weather was perfect too and it helps that the entire carousel section is covered so even if its hot outside, it was nice and shaded. Our guests were raving about this party for many days afterwards. We even had many native Staten Islanders who had come there for the first time. They will definitely be returning. I want to have every party there from now on. Thank you again to the staff, Do not hesitate to throw a party here because you well get your moneys worth and the experience will surely be a positive one.
