Our Carousel and Dragon Hollow were built by volunteers—and they still depend on volunteers today. Whether you’d like to help with maintenance, learn the art of woodcarving, or simply greet guests with a smile, there’s a place for you on our team. We welcome both individual volunteers and groups—schools, service clubs, businesses, or friends who’d like to pitch in together. If you’re ready to get started, fill out our Volunteer Interest Form.
