The Solar-Powered Buffalo Heritage Carousel demonstrates — in real time — the power of renewable energy to operate a locally made and restored historic carousel providing education, joy, and hope for children and individuals of all ages, and for generations to come.

Our vision is to be the beacon of joy, education and hope on Buffalo’s revitalized waterfront, as we pay homage to the region’s history of leadership in renewable energy, carousel manufacturing, and historic preservation and promote a clean, sustainable future by demonstrating the use of our solar roof to power the Carousel.

As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, we are dedicated to making rides affordable and accessible to all. Tickets are donation-based at $3 per ride. To maintain affordability and full access, we subscribe to the Museums For All program-- qualifying MFA tickets are $1 per ride. Members ride for free. The Carousel offers ADA-compliant seating.
