Point of Interest for Sea Glass Carousel

Explore the garden

Ever since the opening in 1994, the Battery Conservatory has proved to be the go to palace for greenery and plants and this garden is a testimony. This is the first public park of New York City and it comes with a horticultural landscape without fences. Visitors can enter this park for free and is known for the colourful plants in its premises. The garden follows a horticultural master plan based on the 4 seasons and is worth having a look at.

Visit the urban farm

The urban farm’s origin dates back to the time when the local authorities had to cut down trees to build a ferry station. This was constructed to compensate for the losses and to add more greenery to the park. The urban farm has a vegetable farm, forest farm and oyster restoration stations. This is one of the go-to places for students to know more about vegetables. Here, there are more than 100 varieties of vegetables worth looking at. In fact there is also an exploratory system where students can learn about native plants, pollinators, animals, and insects too.

Check out the glass carousel

The Battery Conservancy collaborated with the WXY architecture+urban design to create the carousel. This is a virtual underwater experience and is located amidst the urban waterfront park. It was opened in 2015 and was inspired by marine life from the ocean. The carousel has a history dating back to the 1890s, when The Battery was the original home of the New York aquarium and is a stainless steel nautilus shell pavilion. It is lit with LEDs that can amaze the children when lit, so do check it out.
