Your generosity helps protect a place where laughter, artistry, and tradition come together, creating lasting memories for generations to come. Thank you for helping keep the Carousel spinning.
While we cover many of our operating expenses with ride tokens and admission tickets to special fundraising events, we also need donations, and gifts to cover maintenance costs, provide rides to children from low-income families, and add to our very popular children’s play area. The Adirondack Carousel is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization so most gifts are tax deductible.
