Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, Arizona, recently introduced a new way for guests to explore the zoo’s beautiful grounds. They chose the Wattman Maxi Express as their electric train for zoo transport.
The decision was straightforward. The zoo needed a solution that was quiet, reliable, and capable of handling continuous daily operation outdoors. The Wattman Maxi Express delivers on all three.
Running an electric train for zoo use is different from a mall or indoor venue. Outdoor terrain, variable weather, and high daily passenger loads demand a different level of engineering.
The Maxi Express handles up to 32 passengers per ride. It operates up to 14 hours on a single charge. And because it runs on a lead-acid battery system, there are no special charging infrastructure requirements.
Reid Park Zoo’s guests now travel from exhibit to exhibit in comfort, on a quiet, emission-free ride that aligns with the zoo’s commitment to sustainability.

Every zoo environment is different. Capacity needs, terrain, and guest flow all play a role in choosing the right train.
If you are evaluating an electric train for zoo transport at your location, the Maxi Express is worth a close look. It is the same platform trusted by zoos and wildlife parks across the United States.
