Endangered Species Carousel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Untitled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Take a spin on Scovill Zoo\u2019s beautiful, ADA accessible Endangered Species Carousel, featuring 30 hand-carved wooden animals representing protected and endangered species from across the globe. Two chariots on the carousel accommodate wheelchairs. Children under 42 inches tall must be accompanied by an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Carousel Animal added in 2024! The giraffe carousel animal has been carefully selected as a static animal, making it an ideal choice for children who may be hesitant or less confident about riding carousel animals that move up and down. Its still presence creates a gentle transition and introduces young riders to the magical world of carousel rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
