Wildlife Prairie Park is unique from other parks and attractions in the area because of its two- mile, 24 inch gauge train called the Prairie Zephyr. Volunteers who are 25 years or older and have good eyesight and hearing can sign up to drive the train. Two trains run daily during the late spring, summer and early fall. The train is often a highlight of our many special events.
