Look for the Zoo
Train in May 2008!
The
Lake Superior Zoo has been part of the Twin Ports community
since 1923, providing entertainment and recreation to its
visitors. A favorite memory of the zoo experience back in the
late 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s was riding the train. Since
the 1970’s, the Lake Superior Zoo has seen many changes in its
animal collection, its purpose as a zoo, its conservation
philosophy, and its responsibility to educate people about the
natural world.
The Lake Superior Zoological Society is a partner of the Lake
Superior Zoo, providing education and outreach programs, as well
as guest and support services. The Society’s mission is to:
“facilitate understanding between people and the Earth.” In an
effort to offer a new and exciting experience for zoo visitors,
the Zoological Society embarked on a campaign to bring the
nostalgic train experience back to the zoo.
Thanks
to the many generous contributors and volunteers, an electric Wattman Mini Express train was purchased in 2006. The Zoo Train
now travels the zoo grounds, educating riders about the zoo’s
history and the variety of animals in our care.
Today, families and children of all ages
spend quality time at the Lake Superior Zoo, enjoying animal
interactions and learning from their zoo experience. We wish to
thank everyone who made a donation to this project. Special
recognition is given to the listed businesses, individuals and
organizations for their significant contributions and their
support for the Lake Superior Zoo.
