\u00a0Daily Planet Theater <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Daily Planet Theater at\u00a0North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences has the second largest globe in the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At its widest point, the globe measures 70 feet (21 meters) across.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The outside is covered in high-resolution satellite photos of Earth. It does not rest on the ground, and if you get up close you can see Antarctica underneath.<\/p>\n

Pullen park<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pullen Park is the\u00a0first public park in North Carolina, the\u00a05th oldest operating amusement park in the U.S., and the 16th oldest in the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In here we can find one of the foremost surviving works of the Pennsylvania Carousel Company, founded by Gustav A. Dentzel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Pullen Park carousel dates from about 1900, making it one the earliest Dentzels still in operation.<\/p>\n

Its paramount feature is a menagerie of 52 hand-carved wooden animals, the work of chief carver Salvatore Cernigliaro. Cernigliaro was known for elaborately executed and imaginative designs; in addition to 30 horses, the Pullen Park carousel includes ostriches, cats, rabbits, pigs, a lion, a tiger and a goat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 24-foot diameter carousel is housed in a permanent wooden-beamed shelter of tent-like design. Music originally was produced by a Wurlitzer band organ.<\/p>\n
