“Our recent acquisition of a Carousel Works Wildlife Carousel has been a great success. Our guests appreciate the great artwork and the enjoyment of the ride. Being installed in its own building has increased our use several months each year, and the additional revenue is always helpful. The carousel makes a great centerpiece in our children’s zoo and is especially popular during evening events like our annual zoo gala.” |

"The addition of the carousel from Carousel Works Inc has been an outstanding center piece for our kids section. They love it and it has greatly increased guest visitation and revenue!" |

Our carousel is beginning its eleventh year of service. I have told many of my colleagues that acquiring a carousel from the Carousel Works should be a no-brainer! The investment is not substantial. The return is great. Visitors love them. I believe that the quality and detail we see in our carousel is a strong selling point for Carousel Works. I don’t think you see the same attention to detail in other carousels. We could not be happier! |

“The community and visitor response to our carousel has been terrific – we enjoyed 137,000 riders in our first six months of operation. Our patrons marvel at the quality and beauty of our carousel. We are immensely satisfied that we chose Carousel Works to create our carousel – they provided us with a wonderful addition to our zoo and community as well as excellent service during and after the sale.” |
Jim Hubing – Director, Henry Vilas Zoo (Madison, WI)

| "More than 30% of the visitors that come through our gate are riding the carousel. It is not just a fun ride, but a work of art that has already become a signature architectural element for our Zoo and City.” |

| "This whimsical carousel ride is not only a work of art, but an inventive way to inspire Bronx Zoo visitors to explore, discover, and learn about insect species at the core of the Earth ecosystems.” |

"This is definitely not your everyday merry-go-round. That was the original plan, though. (Our carousel design) evolved to be completely native animals to the Hudson River Valley. What we have is a unique merry-go-round, unlike any other in the world.” |
Carol Ash – Commissioner, NY Parks & Recreation Dept. (Bear Mountain Resort Carousel)
|
|
| “The merry-go-round fits perfectly with the Brookfield Zoo’s mission. There are different ways to learn about animals, (one way) is to associate with an animal on a carousel and associate that with an animal in the park.” |
Dr. Stuart Strahl – Zoo Director and President of the Chicago Zoological Society (Brookfield Zoo Carousel)

|
| “All of us at the Zoo feel fortunate that we chose Carousel Works to restore our carousel. The efforts that you and every one of your staff working on the project is reflected in the eyes and smiles of the thousands (35,00 riders in the first month) that have ridden it. Your partners made the process meaningful and enjoyable.” |
