Carousel Museum

about the Carousel Museum:

Step back in time to the Golden Age of carousels. Children and adults can’t help but smile when meeting over 400 carousel figures, from horses and rabbits to tigers and donkeys. When you explore our 33,000-square-foot factory you will fall in love with over a century of carousel art and history. The Carousel Museum preserves and exhibits antique and modern carousel art — and celebrates their dedicated craftsmen — to inspire creativity, joy, and wonder. Little ones can discover hands-on activities in our Tinker Workshop, create in our Art Studio, and enjoy a ride on our indoor Venetian carousel, creating memories for a lifetime.

This museum is no longer affiliated with the CT Art Trail. If you have a 2025 passport, they will honor your admission through 2026. Please contact us if you have any questions or issues with admission.
