Carousel Restoration Services
At The Carousel Museum, we are dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and conservation of carousel figures and historic rides. Our expert restoration team specializes in bringing carousel horses, chariots, menagerie figures, and entire carousels back to their original beauty, ensuring that these treasured pieces remain vibrant and structurally sound for generations to come.
Our restoration process is guided by historical accuracy, expert craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the original artistry of each piece. Whether you are a private collector, amusement park owner, historical society, or carousel enthusiast, we offer customized restoration solutions tailored to your needs.
Consultations & On-Site Touch-Ups
Our team offers paid consultations for those looking to restore their carousel figures or full carousels. During a consultation, we assess the condition of the piece, discuss restoration goals, and provide expert recommendations for the best approach to bring it back to life. Consultation fees are credited toward the restoration project if you choose to proceed with our services.
In addition to full restorations in our workshop, we also provide on-site touch-up services for operational carousels. Our skilled artisans can refresh paintwork, address minor repairs, and restore decorative details, ensuring that your carousel remains beautiful and well-maintained with minimal downtime.

Our skilled artisans work on-site at The Carousel Museum, where visitors can observe the woodshop and painting studio during museum hours. Step inside and witness firsthand the intricate process of restoration, from structural repairs to hand-painted detailing, as our team breathes new life into each figure.
