Skyhorse Carousel

About

An amusement ride and a piece of art which celebrates human culture and cosmology from ancient to modern times, creating an experience with aspects of both art and play. The horses of the carousel are painted like figures from myth and legend that relate to the sky, bearing, guiding, and embodying the Sun, Moon, and stars for mortal civilization down below. You might spy one of the fiery steeds from Apollo's solar chariot, the Jade Rabbit in the Moon, or even the Paiute Bighorn who became the North Star. So come take a ride through the sky yourself, and recapture some of the magic and simple delight of childhood.
