The New Electric Zoo Train

The calls of our white handed gibbons have been joined by our newest attraction, an electric zoo train, which holds about twenty passengers. It travels through a tunnel and around the perimeter of our new children's zoo animal exhibits. Chief engineer, Frank, says that if he blows the train horn near the gibbon exhibit, the gibbons come look at the train passengers. Gibbons also seem very interested in watching the human primates in the Children's Adventure Play area.
