Our Story
The Zilker Eagle is a beloved mini train that has been delighting families in Zilker Park since 1961. After the retirement of the Zilker Zephyr in 2019, the Austin Parks Foundation took on the mission of restoring and operating a new train, the Zilker Eagle, which opened to the public in June 2024. This initiative aims to continue the cherished tradition of family-friendly experiences while ensuring accessibility and safety for all visitors.
