Carousel
Come and spend some magical time at The Carousel, which is beautifully restored and located on the pristine Geelong Waterfront.
The Carousel has now been operating for 9 years, and we will celebrate our 10th birthday in October 2010.
The Carousel has become an accessible and ideal meeting place for the community, and the Carousel team takes pride in providing a memorable experience for all ages and abilities.
This has been made more possible with the welcome installation of the Mobility Lift and introduction of the Recharge Scheme and improved access to the pavilion.
The Mobility Lift was designed specifically to respect and compliment the historic value of The Carousel.
The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world. Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored.
There is also a replica 1898 Gavioli Band organ in the pavilion.
