Albany Historic Carousel & Museum
As a VENUE: Host your event…
Host your next event at the Albany Historic Carousel & Museum! Share the magic of the Carousel with your guests when you host your event at our amazing world-class facility! The Albany Carousel houses a historic 1909 mechanism and holds a menagerie of animals that have been hand-carved and hand-painted by our very own volunteer force! We have two Party Rooms for you to choose from, whether it’s a * birthday * shower * anniversary * corporate meeting, or you can * rent the whole Carousel for your special after-hours Private Event!
- Party Rooms 1 & 2: All party room rentals include exclusive use of the party room, 6ft. cake table, 4 ft. gift table, five 60″ round tables & chairs. 10 ride bracelets for free, unlimited rides during your party time, $5 each thereafter. Pitchers of water with cups provided.
- Corporate Event Rental Rooms 1 & 2: All party room rentals include exclusive use of the party room, 6ft. cake table, 4 ft. gift table, five 60″ round tables & chairs. Pitchers of water with cups provided. Corporate rentals will not have access to the carousel during your rental time.
NOTE: This venue has a Gift Shop and an Eatery (Snack bar). Additionally, there are Sensory Friendly Dates. To provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for individuals on the autism spectrum or with sensory sensitivities and their families, we will slow the carousel down to a jog and turn off the organ music. It’s our hope to provide a fun and inviting space for everyone.
