Take a spin on the Pittsburgh Zoo’s iconic carousel, a ride enjoyed by generations of Zoo visitors! The historic carousel was installed with the opening of the Children’s Zoo in 1949 and has been delighting guests ever since.

Riders can choose their brightly colored galloping horse from the circular stable of 28, or a two-seater stationary bench. The center of the carousel is illustrated with some of the Zoo’s most beloved residents, both past and present.
