Miniature Train Ride

The miniature train ride is an 1860 locomotive replica. Located at the south end of the Zoo under the sabre jet, the train track is over two kilometers and the ride is approximately ten minutes long. 

Our miniature train ride has been in service for over 50 years and is in need of replacement. If you are interested in helping support our new train campaign, please consider making a donation. Every little bit helps!
