The Philadelphia Zoo recently opened a wonderful new
Amazon Rainforest Carousel right next to our iconic, Frank Furness Treehouse. The animals represented in the carousel are all endangered species indigenous to the Amazon region, and each is hand carved out of wood from sustainably managed and certified forests. Add the delightful sounds of Brazilian music during the ride and you end up with a most unforgettable experience that is both enjoyable and educational! This is the only carousel of its kind in the United States.
We are now offering the opportunity for you to honor a family member or a friend while at the same time providing much needed support to your Zoo and its conservation programs by sponsoring one of these incredible animals. The sponsorship period lasts a full five years from our receipt of payment. Benefits may include a recognition plaque near your sponsored carousel animal and on the Zoo’s website. Birthdays, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, and memorials are just a few special occasions worthy of this unique tribute.
Carousel animal sponsorships are available from $250 (birds around carousel roof) to $10,000 (spinning anaconda basket and wheelchair-accessible turtle) and are largely tax deductible. Donors to this special carousel sponsorship program (except for birds on roof) will also receive 25 free passes to the ride. The sponsorship form is available to download in Adobe PDF format by
clicking here, and a listing of the animals available for sponsorship can be viewed online
here.
