Take a ride under the sea

Take a ride beneath the sea in the SeaGlass Carousel opening on Aug. 20 at The Battery.

The new one-of-a-kind ride features a huge nautilus shell with 30 luminescent fish to give you the ride of your life. Unlike traditional carousels, this one has you sitting inside the fish instead of on top — letting you glide through the sights and sounds of a 360-degree aquatic adventure.

Visitors walk through the beautiful Tiffany and Company Foundation Woodland Gardens before reaching the brand-new attraction.

SeaGlass Carousel is open daily beginning Aug. 20, from 10 am to 10 pm and costs $5 per ride. Access to the Battery and gardens is free.

Treehouse Shakers

<div>Treehouse Shakers&rsquo; Branching OUT After-School program is for ages 12-14. This awarded program is for young people who identify as LGBTQIA+, or are seeking to become better allies. Branching OUT centers on discovering and exploring one&rsquo;s story and identity through an intentionally artist-led format. During our community-based program, young people will explore and reflect on their own story to create a larger, more meaningful experience, while gaining self-empowerment and gathering with like-minded peers. Through the guidance of our awarded teaching artists, young people will create narratives that will be turned into podcasts, dances, songs or poetry.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Young people have the opportunity to learn new art forms, work with professional artists, while building a meaningful community.</div>
