Begin your journey at Bolton Abbey Station, where you’ll be greeted by jungle explorers, animatronic beasts, slithering snakes, tropical birds, and more.
Enjoy a jungle-themed show bursting with music, movement, and audience participation—expect surprises, roars, and maybe even a cheeky monkey or two! Then, board the train for further jungle adventures down to Embsay!
Every child receives a jungle goody bag full of themed treats and activities to enjoy during the ride and take home as a memento.
Don’t forget your camera—there’ll be photo ops with costumed characters, jungle backdrops, and maybe even your new animal pals.
