Standing over 40 feet tall, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden's themed nutcrackers have become a favorite attraction during the Festival of Lights celebrated every winter holiday season.  The nutcracker exhibits as well as the dancing hippo carousel exhibit have become an iconic part of the city of Cincinnati.  MurphyCatton artfully fabricated a set of oversized toys to add to the holiday experience at the zoo.  The giant nutcrackers greet the visitors as the enter the zoo, while the dancing hippos amuse the visitors as they pass by on the zoo train.  These pieces are prime examples of MurphyCatton's ability to fabricate and engineer exciting thematic environments.
