The Wildlife Carousel is a unique work of art, hand carved and painted. Many of the carousel animals are found in the Zoo, and you can see the only armadillo known to exist as a carousel figure! Go for a spin and ride along to music from across the globe. Buy your tickets online!

A portion of the proceeds from the Carousel helps fund the Zoo’s ongoing conservation efforts. Riders of all ages can have fun taking a spin and knowing that they are bringing hope to endangered species and wild habitats around the world!

Please note: A carousel closure can occur due to inclement weather.

Carousel Rules:

  • Children over 42″ tall may ride alone.
  • Each child under 42″ tall must be accompanied by an adult, who will stand next to the child as he/she rides for safety. (This adult does not need to purchase a ticket.)
  • No food, drinks or strollers are allowed on the Carousel.
  • There are no refunds for unused passes.
  • Unlimited carousel tickets are for a single rider and cannot be shared.
