The carousel contains 54 horses, one giraffe, one tiger, one goat and two chariots, all hand carved by Looff himself.

If the rider is successful in capturing the brass ring, they can turn it in to win a free ride on the carousel.

The building that hosted a German beer garden for the fair became the new home of the carousel in the summer of 1975.

As a part of a bond passed in 2014 to revitalize Riverfront Park, a new building was designed to house the carousel.
