The Grand Carousel at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, Powell, Ohio

The Grand Carousel is really a very rare ride. It was built by the William F. Mangels Company with the horses carved by the Marcus Illions & Sons Carousel Works. As you can see the horses are just stunning works of art.

You have to love an amazing work of art that you can enjoy looking at as well as getting to experience it by mounting one of the wonderful creations for a ride.

The Dinosaur Island boat ride at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, Powell, Ohio

The Grand Carousel and the rides at Adventure Cove aren't the only rides at the Columbus Zoo.

The Dinosaur Island Boat Ridel at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, Powell, Ohio

If you head deep into the Zoo you'll get to go back in time to when "terrible lizards" ruled the Earth.

Dinosaur Island uses a boat ride system to take guests through the woods where you will come face to face with animatronic dinosaurs.
