Looks almost like a reflection in a pool of water.

A carousel that relies not on horses but on fish and other sea creatures for seats and an overall feel that's like swimming with the fishes opened yesterday in New York City's Battery Park, where the NY Aquarium was located before it moved to Coney...

The new 1 World Trade Center building and Frank Gehry's 8 Spruce Street apartment tower join the Brooklyn Bridge in this image shot through the imperfect plate glass walls of the carousel pavilion in Brooklyn Bridge Park.  

Dropping revenues and rising hostility from animal rights groups put an end to a unique attraction.

Jonathan L takes us on a ride aboard an antique carousel in Florence Italy

A spectacular and historic part of Florence's life, in a brilliant night scene.

You'll find a beautifully preserved historic carousel in Kit Carson County, Colorado.

Yes, that's a real diner, inside the museum lobby. A perfect start and finish for the museum that also includes play areas, areas to learn about play, and a toy store. Read on...

A lover of carousels, DrFumblefinger enjoyed this colorful collection of animals at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Great family travel destination -- and a nice family photo!

Looks like a great day out for all the family. My kids and grandkids love being hands on with creatures. Interaction with young people builds a foundation for their life. Growing up without fears.

Hi guys. Thank you for the comments. We had a great time. It was our first aunt/niece trip and we had a blast. Thank you again for the comments. Happy travels.

"By the time of her death, she had...300,000 objects in all..." I see now, the difference between hoarding and collecting may be how much money you leave behind to deal with the aftermath. I'm glad to see Margaret's compulsion turned into enjoyment for others, likely true of many (almost all?) museums.

I'm always amazed at how many interesting places there are to visit. This very much sounds like my kind of attraction and I had no idea it existed. Some of the most interesting places I've visited are those which display the collecting hobbies of the very wealthy, such as the Getty Museum and Villa.

Assuming these ponies are well cared for, as most animal owners do for their animals, the children of Vienna are being denied an important experience. The opportunity to interact with and enjoy a large animal and ride on it. Where else will kids living in a large city go for such an experience? I recall with great fondness and excitement my first pony rides at the fair and am tired of a shrill minority dictating its will to the rest of us.

The Circus - the Clydesdale Shire Horse - Donkey Rides on the beach and the Goldfish. All driven to extinction by tree huggers.

We just visited this park recently and didn't see anyone on this ride, nor were we particularly interested in it.

Samantha and her niece Alex had an incredible time in the Phoenix area, especially our visit to the OdySea Aquarium. Here she tells us the details!

DrFumblefinger shares the images and the story of A Carousel for Missoula -- how a community got together and built a lasting work of art and entertainment.

Carousels always attract my attention—I still want to grab the brass ring, I suppose—and France seems to have more of them than anywhere else I've been.

Your attention to detail and thorough research is evident in this post.
