Nabisco Endangered Species Carousel

Kids of all ages can take a ride on some of the world's most endangered species at Zoo Atlanta! The Nabisco Endangered Species Carousel takes zoo guests for a whimsical spin upon 38 hand-carved wooden animal figures. The ride also features a series of hand-painted murals depicting endangered mothers and babies in their natural habitats. The carousel is located in the Children's Zoo, and is housed under a colorful pavilion that protects it from the sun and rain. For more information please see Nabisco Carousel.

Norfolk Southern Zoo Express Train

Kids and adults love to ride Zoo Atlanta's Norfolk Southern Zoo Express. Funded by the Norfolk Southern Corporation, the "C.P. Huntington" train is a handcrafted replica of an original 1863 locomotive which can carry over 100 adults or 140 children. It features wide comfortable seats, covered passenger coaches for protection from the sun, lights for night rides and it is fully accessible. The Atlanta Braves, Northside Hospital and Publix Super Markets are additional partners in making the Zoo Express possible. A parent gets to ride for free with any child under 42" of height.
