Zoo Train

Hop on board our miniature train at the zoo train station. The shiny red engine pulls four passenger cars past the Indiana Family Farm, through a tunnel, and along the shore of Shoaff Lake.  The train is a handcrafted, scaled replica of an original 1863 C. P. Huntington locomotive.

Endangered Species Carousel

This magical carousel depicts endangered animals from Southeast Asia.  Children and adults alike will enjoy a spin on one of these colorful creatures set to nostalgic organ music.

River Ride

G’day, mates! Climb into your own dugout canoe and explore the Outback at the, Australian Adventure.  You’ll float past dingoes and our mob of eastern grey kangaroos.  Don’t miss the brightly colored birds in the Walkabout Aviary. Sit back and enjoy this relaxing canoe ride – no paddling required!

Pony Ride

A ride on one of the zoo’s gentle ponies brings a smile to every child’s face. Have your camera ready as the pony strolls the ring with your child on board!  Each pony has an engraved silver nameplate on its bridle, so be sure to find out your pony’s name when you ride.
