Reviews
"I really like to ride this ride. It goes up and down and it spins around. Same as most spin rides but it has animals and they are mucho cute"
"You can't go to the world famous St. Louis Zoo and not ride the Carousel. Your zoo visit will be incomplete! After each ride, one of the operators went on and sanitized the animals. It was a wonderful experience for my family."
"The kids and I loved this Carousel, we probably wrote it about 4 times today we bought the special 14.95 package deal and we could ride it as much as we wanted to. If it was up to the kids we would have rode this another 4 times. Clean, the wait was only 5 mins to get on. Lots of fun."
"All carousel rides are totally free from 8-9am. there were a couple rows out for repair but still plenty of moving animals each run. staff was very friendly."
"The Zoo is fabulous..... my children love this ride. We ride it several times each time we vist the zoo. We vist the Zoo multiple times each year. I highly recommend Amazing family experience."
