🎠 Saturday 7/25 is National Carousel Day!

This weekend we're getting off our high horse and onto our low horse (/cow/goat/zebra) with all of the middle and little siblings that aren't quite tall enough for all the slides and not yet old enough to explore the rest of the museum on their own.

Earlier this year, we installed a beautifully restored 1920s Herschell children's carousel for our smaller guests (under 54" tall), right next to Toddler Town (ages 6 and under). On Saturday from 12pm-3pm, we'll be celebrating with magic, balloon animals, carnival music, and of course nonstop rides on our Antique Children's Carousel.

This holiday only comes around (and around and around) once a year, don't miss it! More details at https://citymuseum.org/event/national-carousel-day/
