Rides are an essential part of the Zoo experience! Our visitors tally up more than 67,000 carousel rides and nearly 75,000 train rides each season. We hope that you enjoy a ride during your next visit to the Zoo!

Cost: $2 per person, per ride or $6 per person for an unlimited day pass

Please present your membership card, wristband or ticket prior to entry for each ride. Ride tickets and wristbands can be purchased at the Admissions Booth, Zoo Store and Train Whistle Café (Concessions).

• Infants under 11 months and caregivers who are assisting an individual for them to be able to ride the carousel do not need a ticket or unlimited wristband to ride.
• Every adult and child riding the train needs a ticket.
  • If an infant (under 11 months), and/or an individual needing physical assistance, and their caregiver ride together, only one ticket is required.
  • Children under 42 inches tall must be accompanied by an adult
