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.

Kids and adults love Zoo Atlanta's Georgia Natural Gas Blue Flame Express! Funded by the Norfolk Southern Corporation, the "C.P. Huntington" train is a handcrafted replica of an original 1863 locomotive. Featuring wide, comfortable seats, covered passenger coaches for sun protection and lights for night rides, the train is fully accessible and can carry over 100 adults or 140 children. One parent rides free with any child under 42" tall.

The AT&T Real Yellow Pages is an additional partner in making the Blue Flame Express possible.
