Small children under 43 inches in height may ride on the large 1916 carousel if they are accompanied by an adult. The Kiddie Carousel is restricted to children under 43 inches in height. The Lockman Collection, a private collection of carousel animals, is currently on exhibit at the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum. These animals document the changes in style of carousel animals over a period of sixty years in the different factories with which Allan Herschell was associated. The earliest animals are small and fairly plain.
Later animals have a more realistic look and have been carved with more detail.
Some have elaborate scroll work and painted details on their bridles and saddles. This collection also includes several unusual and popular menagerie animals, such as a carousel dog, a wild boar, a rooster, and an ostrich. The Allan Herschell Company factory complex is the only remaining North Tonawanda facility which produced hand carved carousels. It houses the present day Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum. The Herschell companies collectively were the most prolific producers of carousels in the country, manufacturing machines which were known for quality in workmanship and reliability.
