It’s Giving Season!
Join our end-of-year giving campaign and make a donation to the Carousel of Happiness.
We are trying to raise $20,000 between now and Dec 31 to keep this machine spinning!
Will you help us? A gift of any amount will help us finish the year strong.
How can a $3 ride change your life?
If you’ve visited the Carousel of Happiness, you know just how! Perhaps the story is what touches your heart, how one man used his grief and poured it into art to create a truly happy place for all. Or perhaps the history is what fascinates you, how this century-old machine is still spinning, despite being headed to the junkyard.
Get your donation matched!
New recurring gifts are being matched by the Colorado First Foundation for one month! Make a monthly gift now, and we’ll get it doubled the first month.
Win a Gorilla Membership!
Answer some Carousel trivia correctly, and you could win a free one-year Gorilla membership. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram, find our trivia posts, and comment with your best guess at the answer.
Get a Free Butterfly!
Any gift made to the Carousel in the amount of $200 or more will get you a very special gift, a handcrafted steel butterfly from Warrior Story Field, a place where veterans and civilians make art together, and heal.
