Join the Albany Carousel for a sensory-friendly ride!
To provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for individuals on the autism spectrum or with sensory sensitivities and their families, we will slow the carousel down to a jog and turn off the organ music.
It’s our hope to provide a fun and inviting space for everyone. So put on your blue and join us!
It’s happy hour! Every Wednesday from 3PM-4PM at the Historic Carousel & Museum, ride tokens are just $1 and drinks in the cafe are 1/2 price, sponsored by Bish’s RV.
