Train Rides Coming to the Zoo
The Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park is adding something new beginning this Saturday. A trackless train ride begins operating on the weekends from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM. Called "The Binghamton Zoo Express" the train ride is made possible by a Community Foundation Grant and sponsored by Valley Dental Pediatrics.
According to information in a press release from the Binghamton Zoo the train ride brings back a popular feature at the zoo. The Cannonball Express ran during early years at the zoo and then from 1963 to 1986 the Ross Park Special thrilled children and visitors with trips through the lower area of the zoo.
Tickets for the Binghamton Zoo Express are available for $3.00 per person at the ticket booth at the zoo.
The Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park is located at 60 Morgan Street in Binghamton. For additional information call 607-724-5461.
