Fun Facts

The Seaglass Carousel's design mimics the experience of being inside a fish tank, with its fish-shaped seats and glowing lights.

There are 30 fish seats, each uniquely designed to give riders a magical underwater experience.

Unlike traditional carousels, the Seaglass Carousel doesn't have a center pole, allowing for a more open and immersive ride.

The carousel pays homage to the original New York Aquarium, which was located in Battery Park from 1896 to 1941.

The carousel features LED lights that change colors, creating a mesmerizing underwater ambiance.

The construction of the Seaglass Carousel took nearly a decade, opening to the public in 2015.

The name 'Seaglass' reflects the carousel's shimmering, translucent design, reminiscent of sea glass found on beaches.

Its vibrant colors and unique design make it a favorite backdrop for social media enthusiasts.
