Ameri-Go-Round, Vintage carousel in Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle, United States
The Ameri-Go-Round features 48 wooden horses arranged in three rows and two chariots with intricate carvings of American patriotic symbols.
Philadelphia Toboggan Company manufactured this carousel in 1918 for the Cincinnati Zoo before it moved to California and finally settled in Seattle in 2006.
Master carver John Zalar created each horse with natural features and gentle expressions, representing the golden age of American carousel craftsmanship.
The carousel operates within a protective pavilion at Woodland Park Zoo, offering rides to visitors throughout regular zoo operating hours.
Several horses display distinctive details including golden griffins on saddle blankets and carved animal pelts beneath their ornate saddles.
