Wild Kingdom Train Zoo

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.

This attraction opened in 1967 as Animaland Train and was built along an older train route. The current name was adopted in 1975.

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.

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.

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.
