Editorial Review of
Balboa Park Carousel
The 1910 Balboa Park Carousel, adjacent to the San Diego Zoo, is a menagerie of animals and all but two pairs are original with hand-carved European craftsmanship. The carousel also boasts original hand-painted murals that decorate the ceiling of the carousel along with its original military band music for ambiance. Open daily for all to enjoy, this carousel is one of the few in the world still offering the brass ring game for everyone taking the 5-minute ride.
