July 26, 2024
The Riverview Park and Zoo James Hamilton Railway is closed until further notice.
The railway welcomes over 66,000 riders each season and generates revenue to support the operation of our zoo, the only free-admission accredited zoo in Canada. The train has been in service for over 50 years and requires significant repairs at this time.
We have been planning for replacement of the train, and thanks to our generous community partners and donors we are closing in on our fundraising target. Until we have achieved this target, we will do all we can to keep the existing beloved train in service.
Please check our website and social media sites for updates on when the train will reopen. If you would like to donate to the new train campaign, please visit the donations page on our website www.riverviewparkandzoo.ca.
