Dentzel Menagerie Carousel

The historic Dentzel Menagerie Carousel was built by the G.A. Dentzel Co. of Philadelphia and installed at its present site in 1905. It has 52 hand-carved animals, including horses, mules, ostriches, and a tiger, as well as two chariots.

The carousel opens for the season on Memorial Day weekend.
