Haunted Train Ride

The Haunted Train Ride at ‘Boo at the Zoo’ is a spooky 10-minute ride through the hill country greenbelt of Austin Zoo, complete with Halloween-themed lights and décor.

The Train has limited capacity and rides therefore must be reserved at a specific time. Please select your train ride time thoughtfully. Your Boo admission ticket provides you with one reserved seat at your selected train time. 

Children under 2 are free and must ride the train in an adult’s lap. If you prefer that your Under-2 have their own seat on the train, then please purchase an additional event ticket for them.

Train Seating Policies:

  • All train seats will be full.
  • Seating on each train ride is first-come first-served.
  • We no longer make accommodations for social distancing, so all seats will be sold.
  • You may be required to sit next to someone you do not know.
  • Parties of 3 or more may be required to split up.

TRAIN RIDE TIMES:

6:20 PM, 6:40 PM, 7:00 PM, 7:20 PM, 7:40 PM, 8:00 PM, 8:20 PM, 8:40 PM.
A 9:00 PM Train will be added if all other train times fill up.

*You will not be able to change your ride time once booked. All Train Rides sell out. If you miss your train time, later times will NOT be available.
