Temporary Closure
During routine maintenance of Nunley’s Carousel, a mechanical issue was identified. Given the historic significance of the carousel, we have temporarily paused operations to allow a restoration expert to assess the equipment.
We look forward to sharing updates on when this beloved Long Island landmark will be spinning again!
The iconic 112-year old carousel is back to entertain riders, including a new generation ready to discover its magic. The carousel is located on Museum Row between LICM and the Nassau County Firefighters Museum, accessible from the East Parking Lot. The carousel is enclosed by glass and heated during cold weather, allowing the carousel to operate year-round.
