An underwater-themed carousel

The ride is designed to resemble a journey through the underwater world, during which visitors sit in gondolas shaped like Siamese fighting fish.

During the ride, the individual gondolas slowly rotate around their own axis and also move vertically up and down.

One ride lasts 3.5 minutes.

Admission and opening hours

During the winter season, from November to April, it is open only from Thursday to Sunday, from 11.00 to 19.00. 

From May to October, it is open every day from 9.00 am to 9.00 pm.

The SeaGlass Carousel is a popular attraction, so in good weather queues can be over 30 minutes long.

The ticket price is 6 usd and is paid inside just before boarding the carousel. The price is the same for everyone and applies to both children and adults.
