Wildlife Express Train, Walt Disney World
Facts and practical information
All aboard the Wildlife Express Train for a journey into the heart of the animal kingdom at Walt Disney World, United States. This enchanting amusement ride offers guests a unique opportunity to explore the Harambe Wildlife Reserve and Conservation Station, which are part of Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park.
The Wildlife Express Train is not just a means of transportation; it's an experience that provides insight into the care and conservation efforts that go into maintaining the park's extensive array of wildlife. As guests chug along the rustic tracks, they are treated to behind-the-scenes glimpses of animal housing and care areas that are not accessible by foot.
The train itself is designed to evoke the feel of an African wildlife expedition, with its open-air carriages and rugged aesthetic. It's a perfect attraction for families and wildlife enthusiasts looking to rest their feet while still immersing themselves in the rich natural environment that Disney's Animal Kingdom is known for.
Each round-trip ride lasts approximately seven minutes, whisking guests from the Harambe station in Africa to the Conservation Station and back. The Conservation Station offers interactive exhibits, up-close animal encounters, and even opportunities to observe veterinary procedures in the animal hospital.
The Wildlife Express Train operates continuously throughout the day, with trains departing every 5-10 minutes, making it a convenient option to hop on and off as you please. Keep in mind that the last train back to Harambe typically leaves just before park closing, so be sure to plan your return trip accordingly.
