The Carousel - Town Center Mall. Seaside OR.
The Carousel in Seaside's Town Center Mall was installed in 1990. The facades, horses and animals were crafted by Barrango in San Francisco. Fiberglass molds were taken from historic handcarved originals owned by the San Francisco Carousel Museum. A dozen beautiful horses were reproduced from famous carvings of the early 1900's. They are flanked by an assortment of exotic creatures including a giraffe, ostrich, pig, rabbits, and a hippocampus (a seahorse from Greek mythology). The festive tunes emitted from the Carousel are authentic pipe organ arrangements of old favourites, classical pieces dating back to the turn of the century, and easy-listening contemporary arrangements. This curious and charming attraction is located in the center of the mall under a sky light topped by the American Flag. It is surrounded by unusual retail shops of all kinds and there are plenty of benches to relax on while kids of all ages ride the Carousel.

The Promenade - The end of Broadway St. Seaside, OR.
You haven't experienced Seaside until you've taken a stroll on the Promenade ! In 1908, a wooden Promenade was built along the ocean front. In 1920 it was reconstructed, this time in concrete, from a well composed design that, as its central focal point at the end of Broadway, incorporated a turnaround for automobiles. The "Turnaround" is the official end of the Lewis and Clark Trail. In 1985, the Prom was renovated. The original design motif was retained and vintage street lamps restored. In 1990, a bronze statue of Lewis and Clark, designed by sculptor Stan Wanlass, was installed at the Turnaround. You won't find another Promenade like this anywhere on the West Coast.
