Nabisco Endangered Species Carousel

Kids of all ages can take a ride on some of the world's most endangered species at Zoo Atlanta! The Nabisco Endangered Species Carousel takes zoo guests for a whimsical spin upon 38 hand-carved wooden animal figures. The ride also features a series of hand-painted murals depicting endangered mothers and babies in their natural habitats. The carousel is located in the Children's Zoo, and is housed under a colorful pavilion that protects it from the sun and rain. For more information please see Nabisco Carousel.
