Is taking a train ride around the Zoo with Victor, Emmett, or Kate the best part of your Zoo day? Join the fun as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Santa Barbara Zoo Train! Festivities include train-themed activities, model trains, live music, chalk art competition, photo opportunities, and more.

At 10:30 a.m. Saturday, there will be a special golden train spike ceremony and ribbon cutting.

If you can’t wait until November, celebrate your love of the train by becoming an Engineer for a Day or by making a 50th Train Anniversary gift today.
