Carousel Private Party Rooms
Woodland Park Zoo’s Historic Carousel features hand-carved vintage carousel horses and
two chariots, one of which has been retrofitted to accommodate wheelchairs. Dedicated in
2006, the Historic Carousel was a gift from Linda and Tom Allen and the Alleniana Foundation.
Solar panels were added in 2011 with help from Seattle City Light, producing enough energy to
offset the carousel’s 100,000 annual rides.
A wall of windows provides the Carousel Party Rooms with a full view of the carousel, and the
one-way glass maintains privacy. The two rooms are equal in size with access to the carousel
and outdoors. Designed for children’s birthday parties, they can also be used for holiday
parties, showers and other events.
