Ride details
What families should know
The Novosibirsk Tourism Information Center page, with RZD-linked railway information, proves the 5.3-kilometre Sportivnaya–Zoo–Zaeltsovsky Park route and the five named points, with boarding/alighting unavailable at Eltsovsky siding. It publishes 2026 fares and states that the seasonal operation ended on 30 August 2026; this remains an active catalog entity with its closed-season window preserved. No stroller, smoke/noise, or weather policy is stated. The canonical RZD pages were inaccessible because of certificate errors; the city tourism page was opened and supplies the current-season fare/closure evidence. Quote: «На железнодорожной линии размещено 5 раздельных пунктов: станция Спортивная, станция Зоопарк, станция Заельцовский парк, разъезд Локомотив и разъезд Ельцовский (посадка, высадка не предусмотрена)» (There are five separate points on the railway line: Sportivnaya station, Zoo station, Zaeltsovsky Park station, Lokomotiv siding, and Eltsovsky siding, where boarding and alighting are not provided.)
