Conservation Carousel
Our handcrafted wooden conservation carousel features 32 lifelike animals. Some are endangered, but all are children’s favorites. Each carousel animal is carved from wood, then hand-painted to create a truly unique piece. Educational and conservation messages inspire visitors as they ride.
Revenue generated from the carousel goes directly to support education programs, animal exhibits and conservation awareness.
Sponsor a Carousel Animal
The carousel is a part of the zoo’s fundraising drive for education and conservation awareness. For a $5,000 contribution, your name will be proudly displayed on one of the carousel animals for five years. A $10,000 donation will allow you to sponsor the animal for the life of the carousel. Please see listing below of animals available for sponsorship.
Your tax deductible donation of $5,000 or more includes:
- A plaque at the base of your sponsored animal
- A framed picture of you and your carousel animal
- Recognition in the zoo’s annual report
A carousel animal sponsorship is a great gift for someone special in your life, or just to show your support for the Sacramento Zoo, education and conservation. There is only one animal of each kind available, so don’t wait too long or someone else will sponsor your favorite!
