Paul Titus Carousel

Take a Spin on a Carousel

What will you ride? A rearing horse? A zebra? Maybe a tiger? Or a Pacific Northwest slug?

Take a spin on our vintage Paul Titus Carousel and add some sparkle to your Zoo visit.

Tickets: $4.00 per ride ($2.00 for Zoo members) during Zoo hours.

We are a cashless facility. We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as mobile payment options. 

Over 100 years strong
(and just as fun as ever.)

Our re-created wooden carousel was built in 1917 and is located in the DeFalco Family Pavilion at Milgard Plaza, just inside the Zoo’s front gates.

Hand-carved and painted
(with love.)

The carousel features 30 large and four small animals, a sled, and space for wheelchair riders. Hand-carved and painted, the carousel animals were created by the Washington Antique Carousel Society and Friends.

Animals galore
Which will you pick?

Washington state themed horses can be found on the outer ring; endangered species and native Northwest animals are on the inner ring. Local artists are featured on carousel murals.
