This impressive looking compass is part of a game at the Wild Animal Park which I assume is for children.
The compasses are mounted on top of little wheels that control little ships that one can navigate around a pond for a dollar, or two or three.
Presumably the compasses are to be used for navigation, but it seems no one ever does. Instead the goal seems to be to ram the other little ships in the pond at maximum speed.
Several allegorical messages here.
