Carousel Restoration


The carousel has brought joy to visitors of Miller Park Zoo for more than 20 years. We hope that with the restoration of the carousel, our visitors will continue to create lasting memories for years to come.


Restoring a carousel requires specialized expertise. Even well-used and a bit tattered our carousel has significant value, and it is well worth the cost and effort to restore. An Ohio based company will disassemble, remove, restore, and reassemble the carousel. The process will begin in May and take 8 – 10 months to complete.

Fundraising efforts will continue until the $145,000 goal is met. Thanks to generous donors we are almost halfway there!


If you haven’t already, please consider making a gift today. We thank you for your continued support.
