Albany Historic Carousel & Museum

We know many of you are as excited as we are about Albany's Historic Carousel & Museum. This is no ordinary merry-go-round. Our city's carousel is a community volunteer-driven project more than 17 years in the making. Artists and laborers contributed countless hours to hand-carve and paint the fabulous animals. It's an attraction you won't want to miss, no matter what age you are.

The Historic Carousel & Museum is located at 503 First Ave. W. in Downtown Albany, across the street from the US Post Office and kitty-corner from the Albany Chamber of Commerce. 

Admission: Entry to the Carousel building is free and open to everyone! 

Ride Tokens: Ride tokens are $2 each and can be purchased at concessions or the gift shop. Unlimited Ride Bracelts are available to purchase for $10 every Friday and Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m.

There is ample street parking around the Carousel building and the USP Office on Washington and 1st Avenue. Visit the Carousel's website for maps related to overflow parking and public lots throughout downtown Albany.

For inquiries about reserving the Carousel building for birthday parties, meetings, receptions, and other events, make sure to visit the Carousel website.
