SunRail Spring Break: Bigger & Better Than Ever! Exciting Return of Choo-Choo to the Zoo 

SANFORD, Fla. – Get ready for a Spring Break adventure like no other! SunRail is preparing to welcome families across Central Florida as we gear up for a bigger and better Spring Break, weekdays from March 14 – March 21, 2025

Whether you’re a regular or a first-time rider, now is the perfect time to hop on board and experience the excitement that only SunRail can offer! 

SunRail has teamed up once again with the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens for the highly anticipated return of “Choo-Choo to the Zoo.” This fun partnership gives kids, families, and animal lovers an easy way to visit the Zoo without the expense or stress of driving. 

Riders simply take SunRail to the Sanford Station, where a FREE shuttle will transport them to the Zoo in less than 15 minutes. Shuttle times are coordinated with SunRail’s schedule, and will be posted at the station, the Zoo, and on www.SunRail.com. Plus, riders can enjoy 20% off single-day Zoo admission during this exciting weeklong event by showing their SunRail ticket (paper, plastic, or mobile). Note: This discount doesn’t apply to online tickets or Seminole Aerial Adventures. 

“SunRail is a community rail, and Spring Break is the perfect time to connect with old friends and introduce new riders to the fun,” said Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Five Secretary John E. Tyler, P.E. “There are so many incredible attractions just a train ride away, and our riders often tell us that the journey itself is just as enjoyable as the destination!”
