Carousel at Balboa Park

Grab the brass ring

1889 Zoo Place, Balboa Park
San Diego, CA 92134
http://www.balboapark.org/museums.html

A trip to the Zoo or Balboa Park is not complete until you try for the brass ring at the 1910 carousel. The antique animals--lions and tiger and bears, oh my!--are hand-carved with real horsehair was used for the tails. Rates: $1.25 per ride, unless of course, you grab the brass ring and get a free ride.
