Bronx Zoo Bug Carousel, Children's Zoo Ln, Fordham Road and the Bronx River Parkway, Bronx, New York, USA
Most carousels have prancing horses to ride. However, the Bronx Zoo Bug Carousel is far from the norm, with its 64 different types of insects that you can ride. These include praying mantis, fireflies, bees, grasshoppers and ladybirds. Not only is the ride a lot of fun, but children can also learn about the bugs along the way. It is thought to be the only carousel of its kind in the world.
