Picture This: The Rotary Club of Greensboro Carousel

Located at the Greensboro Science Center, the Rotary Club of Greensboro Carousel is North Carolina’s largest carousel, featuring 56 distinct hand-carved and hand-painted figures.

 

 

The animals range from traditional horses and chariots to unique designs like flamingos, pygmy hippos, and dinosaurs. Surrounding the carousel are 32 rounding boards that highlight Greensboro’s history, offering a glimpse into the city’s past.

 

 

Standing 43 feet tall, the carousel is part of a 1.75-acre site that includes a picnic shelter and a plaza area, creating a welcoming space for visitors. Timmons Group provided engineering design, topographic survey, and landscape architecture to support the development of the site.
