SeaGlass Carousel

Description

This aquatic roundabout at The Battery aims to entertain, inspire and educate adults and children alike. Built to recall 1896, when the Battery was home to the famous, since-closed New York Aquarium at the Castle, the carousel showcases magical sea and fish creatures. Sixty SmartGlass panels transform the carousel's walls from clear to blue, simulating a realistic trip to the ocean's floor.
