Description:

It was pretty exciting taking the little train to the zoo. It was kind of pricey, but it's the sort of thing you spring for once in a while when you're on vacation. They have three trains which run every 15 minutes until about 5:30. You can either go all around in a loop, or do like we did and take half the loop to the zoo, then the other half later to get back to the park.

The train ride is really only interesting as a train ride. You can't really see animals. It's not like a safari train or anything. You drive through an area where they keep machinery and old train parts. You drive behind the elephant exhibit.

The nicest part of the ride is through the woods. There's a beautiful, steep ravine off one side of the train.

You go through a little tunnel when the train pulls into the zoo. That's a nice touch.
