"Denver Zoo's Endangered Species Carousel is the largest carousel of its kind in the nation. This new spectacular attraction was designed specially for Denver Zoo by Carousel Works and features 48 hand-carved animals and two chariots to take visitors on their journey.

For only $2, children of all ages will be able to ride on a number of animals including gorillas, giraffes, pandas, lions, zebras, elephants and, what is sure to be a definite favorite, a mother polar bear and her two cubs which were created especially for the Zoo.

Using time honored construction methods, the Endangered Species Carousel is reminiscent of the hundreds of wooden carousels built across the country during the "golden age" of carousels (1885 - 1925). Only 125 of those original antiques remain. " (from (visit link) )
