August 26 @ 9:30 am – 4:00 pm EDT

Celebrate the anniversary of our Virginia Zoo Express train reopening! One year ago our brand new electric train opened to the public, marking a monumental moment for our guests and the Zoo’s conservation efforts by introducing an environmentally-friendly train.

Our Gift Shop will be set up with a variety of train themed merchandise including engineer hats, bandanas, wooden train whistles, bears in engineer costumes, and train toys.
