Wild Kingdom Train Zoo, Railway zoo at Lagoon Amusement Park, Farmington, United States.
Description
Wild Kingdom Train Zoo is a train ride through an animal park in Farmington that passes by over 40 animals from about 15 species. The route circles a lagoon and displays tigers, eagles, zebras, camels, and lions in their spaces.
History
This attraction opened in 1967 as Animaland Train and was built along an older train route. The current name was adopted in 1975.
Culture
The train ride offers a chance to watch animals in their spaces from a moving vantage point, creating a different kind of zoo experience. The slow pace encourages closer observation and conversation among passengers during the journey.
Practical
The train moves slowly, which suits visitors of all ages, though young children need supervision during the ride. It pays to take your time and watch carefully from your seat to spot the animals along the way.
Did you know?
The locomotives were custom-built for this operation and travel through a tunnel system between the animal enclosures. This creates an unusual zoo experience where the train passes partially underground.
