About

"Let the Magic Touch the Child in You"

Whether you have a fond interest in art, American history, woodcraft, or simply enjoy the excitement of the carousel, we have something special for you. At any age, our guests can experience the joy of a visit to the Carousel Museum and the Bushnell Park Carousel.

The Museum is proud to house one of the largest collections of antique carousel pieces in the country. You can explore the "Golden Age of the Carousel" on your own, or with our tour guides, who will share with you the colorful history and evolution of the hand-carved animals that have found their place in America's rich folk art history. "The New England Carousel Museum is dedicated to the acquisition, restoration and preservation of operating carousels and carousel memorabilia and the creation of new carousel material, for the education and pleasure of the general public."
