A lovely carousel with local animal characters is now bobbing along on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. The ride can be found just a few steps away from the Aquarium featuring animals found in the land, air and sea around Massachusetts—including a right whale and sea turtle. The animals were all sculpted by a local artist and is wowing riders of all ages. Learn more.
