Review:
The Albany Carousel and Museum preserves a gorgeous 1909 Dentzel Carousel Corporation ride showcasing more than 50 hand-carved animal horses, ranging from seven-foot-tall giraffes to zebras, unicorns, dragons, bears, and lions. The menagerie-style carousel was donated to the city by Bill Denzel, the great-grandson of the carousel company's founder, and was carefully restored as a labor of love that took more than 15 years to complete with the help of community volunteers. Today, the carousel and its adjacent museum strive to promote the artistry of amusement rides and explore the history of carousel technology through public exhibits and artifact displays. Visitors of all ages can explore the museum for free and ride the carousel for a nominal fee with purchase of carousel tokens.
