SeaGlass Carousel, Aquatic-themed carousel at The Battery, United States
The SeaGlass Carousel features thirty luminous fish figures that rotate, rise, and descend on four independent turntables within a glass and steel pavilion.
The carousel pays tribute to the first New York Aquarium, which operated at Castle Clinton in The Battery from 1896 until its closure in 1941.
Set designer George Tsypin combined theatrical elements with classical music compositions by Mozart, Debussy, and other composers to create an underwater experience.
The carousel operates daily from 11:00 AM, with extended evening hours until 8:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, offering three-and-a-half-minute rides for $6.
Unlike traditional carousels, SeaGlass operates without a center pole, using electric motors beneath the floor to power the rotating marine creatures.
