Great Northern Carousel - Helena   924 Bicenntenial Plaza Helena, MT 59624 Phone: 406-457-5353 Fax: 406-443-2161         The Great Northern Carousel is a family affair for Alan Nicholson, wife and five children. All have contributed in one way or another. Molly, eight years old, helped by having her class test ride the Carousel. The carousel has two chariots and features 38 animals. Some of the hand sculptured animals are otters, bears, horses, fish, rabbits, and even a dinosaur. The animals that dance around the carousel were hand-painted by Bette Largent of Spokane, WA. The enclosed year-round carousel is decorated with stained-glass murals of the Capitol, the fire tower, the civic center, elk, and grizzly bear. Mary Harris, a Helena artist, made the glass scenery panels. The west facing windows of the building are original stained glass from the Old Broadwater Hotel of Helena and over one hundred years old. After a wind sweeping ride, step up and taste our locally made premium ice cream.
