Bushnell Park is the site of many major events each year, including the Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz and the Hartford Marathon. My daughter and I came this week to Bushnell Park for Caribbean week and part two was at Bushnell Park. This was my second year here and the festival was good but in my opinion the other festival at Mortensen Riverfront Plaza is better, just because I love the riverfront. There were a lot activities for families and there was plenty of food trucks to choose from. Many of the lines were long but my daughter and I came across a tent called Cuisine and Pastry, which serves West Indian food, American food, and baked goods. As we thought the line was short, we still waited in line for about an hour. I believe the staff we're having problems with there debit card machine. I ordered the Stew Chicken, Cabbage, and Rice and Peas. My daughter and I took are first bite and we looked at each other and we both had a skeptical look. The cabbage totally lacked flavor and the chicken was dry. Stew Chicken is supposed to be like a stew with Caribbean seasoning and flavors. It lacked the stew part but the Rice and Peas were the best thing on the plate. My daughter stopped eating it after three bites. Two stars for BP Cuisine & Pastry. I actually looked them up on Google and it says there establishment is temporarily closed but on Yelp it doesn't indicate if there closed. I was confused. The event was great and they even had a live Caribbean show. My daughter and I had a great time and we look forward to going next year.

They have horses that move up and down, but they also have steady horses that stay still, which is great for younger children who might be nervous about the movement. They even have small benches where you can sit instead of riding a horse. The kids were very happy, the area was clean, and the service was good. ¡Este carrusel fue muy divertido y genial para los niños! El costo fue de cuatro dólares por persona, tanto para niños como para adultos. Terminamos subiéndonos dos veces porque a los niños les encantó. Tienen caballitos que suben y bajan, pero también tienen caballitos fijos que no se mueven, lo cual es excelente para los niños más pequeños si no les gusta el movimiento. También tienen como unos banquitos donde pueden sentarse en lugar de montar un caballo. Los niños quedaron muy contentos, el lugar estaba limpio y el servicio fue bueno.

Luckily there is a small street to the right and we were able to get to the parking lot and go to the entrance. The carousel is house in a small building where it is protected from the elements. Tickets cost $4 for a single ride for the general public and $3 for members of the Long Island Children's Museum. You can also purchase a 10 pack of tickets at a price of $35 for the general public and $25 for members of the Long Island Children's Museum. The carousel has been restored to its former glory. It is a beautiful sight to see. Some of carousel horses go up and down others are stationary. There are also 2 chariots and even a lion (stationary). The music is classic carousel tunes. The hub in the middle is painted with murals of an older time as is the top of the carousel. The rife lasts almost 4 minutes. A very nice experience.

Unlike traditional carousels SeaGlass doesn't have a center pole. The four turntables are driven by electric motors which is quite unique and pretty cool!

Some of the fish at the Carousel are inspired by Angelfish Threadfin Butterfly fish Regal Angelfish Orange-Spot Wrasse Betta Clearfin Lionfish and so much more! Current hours for June, July, and August are 9:00 A.M - 9:00 P.M. You can check the SeaGlass website for subway, bus, driving, and walking directions to the SeaGlass Carousel. Tickets are $6.00 per person. If you buy group tickets for 10, you can get special pricing for $55.00. You can purchase the tickets on site at the SeaGlass Carousel. This is such a fun experience. I highly recommend it if you're in the Financial district to stop by! It's a quick walk to The Battery and afterwards you can explore the park area! There is a nearby playground as well!

Every time I called or spoke to someone, they were so kind, willing to answer every question I had and assured me that everything would be perfect. They were right. The space for the carousel is for 50 people because that is how many chairs they have available. We had over 50 people there and you never felt crammed or squashed. There was SO much space. We had entertainers come and they had room to set up and put on their shows as well. They park provides 6 rectangular tables for guests to sit at as well as 3 other tables that could be used to food, gifts, favors..etc. The carousel operator ( I wish I would have remembered her name) was amazing- she was so kind and attentive and even gave the baby a t shirt! The staff working at the concession was also so helpful in letting us unload the food and drinks prior to the party start time. A special thank you to Emily who really went above and beyond to make sure everything went right. The weather was perfect too and it helps that the entire carousel section is covered so even if its hot outside, it was nice and shaded. Our guests were raving about this party for many days afterwards. We even had many native Staten Islanders who had come there for the first time. They will definitely be returning. I want to have every party there from now on.
