The Balboa Park Carousel, adjacent to the San Diego Zoo, is a menagerie of animals manufactured by the Herschell-Spillman company in 1910; all but two pairs are original with hand-carved European craftsmanship. Also original are the hand-painted murals surrounding the upper portion of the carousel and the military band music. This carousel is one of the few in the world still offering the brass ring game for everyone taking the 5-minute ride.
