The Moss Family Conservation Carousel
Join the Circle of Wildlife!
For hundreds of years, merry-go-rounds have held a special place in communities throughout the world, creating magical memories for children of all ages. Whether it be the lilting music, the flashing colors and lights or the magnificent animals whirling by, merry-go-rounds never fail to excite and astonish.
Now is your opportunity to be at the center of the creation of the Zoo’s wonderful new Moss Family Conservation Carousel by joining the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association’s Circle of Wildlife and sponsoring one or more of these enchanting animals and chariots that can be viewed below.
The Carousel will debut in 2010!
Sponsorship opportunities are available at $25,000 for each animal or chariot (payable over three years) and are recognized for 15 years on a plaque placed at the foot of each figure.
Special features include:
- Hand-carved wooden figures created by The Carousel Works in Mansfield, Ohio and hand-painted by their artisans. Each piece is unique.
- Primarily animals in residence at the Los Angeles Zoo
- Many animals which the Los Angeles Zoo is working to save from extinction
- Two universally accessible standing chariots
- Exquisitely conceived and painted art work representing the flora and fauna of California
- Located high atop Treetops Terrace in the center of the Zoo
- Music identified with the “California sound” and recorded primarily in the 1960s and 1970s by A & M Records in Los Angeles
Listen to the Tijuana Taxi by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass:

Please click on each animal below to see a larger version. As our unique animals are created and become ready for The Moss Family Conservation Carousel, we'll be replacing the images with the final version. We will also mark the figures that have become sponsored and are no longer available.
