Battery Carousel

SeaGlass, Carousel at the Battery is an innovative, aquatic-themed ride for Downtown residents, workers and visitors from around the world.

The Carousel is a unique children-of-all-ages experience. Conceived by the Battery Conservancy with Weisz + Yoes Architects, it enchants through movement, light and music. A ride-the-waves turntable supports 30 poly-resin sea creatures filled with undulating LED lights.

All of one's senses are engaged and heightened. You are one with the sea. This unforgettable ride combines art, architecture, music and film to create a "fintastic" adventure.

SeaGlass recalls the Battery's history as site of the city's first aquarium from 1896 to 1941. A boat is planned to ferry families from the Battery to Coney Island to visit today's New York Aquarium.
