The Carousel of Happiness | Atlas Obscura x Visit Colorado 

I have visited the carousel countless times, and it truly is as magical as this piece makes it out to be. Every time I go, I see some little detail I have never seen before. And now I will look for the koala next time I am there, to capture a little more of the love the carousel has.

What a beautiful story. It made me cry 😢💕🎠. Especially the part with the little girl's ashes being put in the koala 💖💖💖.

What a huge hit in the feels...

Truly a place of wonder and delight. I remember when I brought my 95 year old mother-in-law here. The smile on her face lives on in my memory.

I randomnly stumbled across the carousel in winter 2019 when I pulled over at the shopping center next to it on a whim while driving home to Boulder and was looking for a restroom and we saw the lights on. It was truly an amazing experience and it is even more beautiful in person.

Wow, what an amazing creation. I’m so grateful for his beautiful sister sending him that small music box. From little things big things grow. 🙂🐿❤️🌈

What a beautiful human and incredible gift. This story was a balm for a sore heart.

Wow! Fabulous, Scott Harrison!

I never had a RU-vid video bring a tear to my eyes... thank you 😊

I have a fondness for an old Gallopers ride going right back to childhood, but this one is even more special than most. What a wonderful creation

Such a moving story. Thank you!

This is love and courage.

The inventor of the Carousel went to school with the inventor of the Ferris Wheel, but they didn't know each other. They traveled in different circles.

😻 Beautiful!

I mean if you knew how many of us military and law enforcement people are in the furry fandom.... you'd see that sometimes you get the best joy in your own life by spreading it to others.... making someone smile creates a ray of joy that covers everyone in that moment.

No, you're crying!
