The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, Michigan, is home to an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, the bus in which Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, and the chair Abraham Lincoln was sitting in when he was assassinated. It’s fitting that a space described as “a world where past innovations fuel the imagination of generations to come” also houses 10 Mold-A-Ramas.

Now headquartered in Brookfield, Illinois, Mold-A-Rama Inc. was resurrected in 1971 when William A. Jones purchased his first machines from Chicago. The Windy City is full of top-notch cultural institutions, including one of the largest natural history museums in the world. The Field Museum’s vast collection of specimens, fossils, and artifacts originated from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition; today, visitors can take home several small versions of now-extinct giants.

In operation since the late 1800s, the Milwaukee County Zoo has nearly 2,000 animals spread across 200 acres in Southeast Wisconsin. The zoo has been home to several “celebrity” animals over the years, including Samson the gorilla and Gertie the duck, and one of the largest groups of bonobos living outside of their native Africa. Leave the live animals inside of their enclosures and make your own bat, elephant, gorilla, lion, panther, eagle, or penguin to take home from 13 Mold-A-Rama machines.

If you’re looking for an elephant, flamingo, or giraffe in Texas, you’ll find both the plastic and real-life versions at the San Antonio Zoo. With eight Mold-A-Ramas, the 50-acre zoo has something for every one of its 1 million annual visitors, including one machine featuring three green monkeys—designs with a single figure are most common, but molds are infinitely customizable for each location.

Weeki Wachee Springs has been luring travelers to Central Florida with river cruises, animal shows, and, most famously, live mermaids, since 1947. Take in the classic attraction’s signature show, which features finned performers and underwater tricks. Then make two more mermaids (one riding a shiny blue wave and the other atop a green seahorse) at the two Mold-A-Matic machines located near the gift shop and front entrance.

Less than 2 hours east of Weeki Wachee Springs, you’ll find two more Mold-A-Matic machines at Gatorland in Orlando. Both of the molds at the “Alligator Capital of the World” are inspired by exhibits: A white alligator represents the park’s leucistic and albino residents, and a green figure wrestles a gator—something visitors can see twice a day at the nearby “Alligators: Legends of the Swamp” show, where “Gatorland’s brave gator expert” shares an arena with full-grown, live gators.

The decades-old machines might be frequently (and frustratingly) out of order, but the odds are in your favor at Busch Gardens in Tampa. The 335-acre animal theme park has 12 Mold-A-Matics, 11 of which feature animals—including an orangutan, kangaroo, and cheetah—and one is branded with the logo for the Iron Gwazi, a steel-track hybrid roller coaster with a 91-degree drop top speed of 76 miles per hour.

The International Rhino Foundation’s 2022 State of the Rhino report counts the world population of black rhinos at 6,195. Although still critically endangered, there’s good news for rhino fans: The African animal’s population is increasing in more ways than one. Visitors to the Oklahoma City Zoo can see their Asian counterparts and make their own Mold-A-Matic version outside of the zoo’s Indian Rhino Viewing Area.
