Spokane Washington Looff Carousel

Photo By: Deby Dixon 2009

In Spokane, Washington there is an all-original Looff Carousel in operation in Riverfront Park. Located in the heart of downtown Spokane. It is a fun place to take the kids and have fun. There is popcorn, hotdogs, and other treats there as well for all. The carousel has been located in Spokane since it was manufactured and delivered to its original location at Natatorium Park in 1909.


The carousel is still operating in Spokane. Keeping it running and pristine has involved the hard work and devotion of many people for the last 99 years.

The carousel has 54 horses (all "jumpers"), one giraffe, one tiger and 2 chariots.

The official site for the carousel is http://spokanecarrousel.org/. It has a lot of pictures and information about the carousel.
