The Conservation Carousel
Invest in the future by commissioning a hand-carved, custom painted, wooden animal for this marvelous carousel.  Your tax-deductible gift of $10,000 will be designated for Conservation programs (payment arrangements are available).  Your animal will be individually crafted and installed on the carousel.  Hadley Pottery of Louisville will create two stoneware plaques commemorating your gift.  The first will be permanently placed on the Carousel.  The second will be yours to keep as a memento.

* Own a piece of history!  For a gift of $3,000, be the first on your block to own one of the unique fiberglass Philadelphia Toboggan carousel horses. Your gift will benefit the Zoo's most immediate needs.
