I've been to a lot of zoos and this one noticeably is home to the cutest animals--most of all the tas devils, prairie dogs (v. small and fluffy), and koala that latches onto a teddy bear in its sleep.

Baby Hippo is adorable! Lots of construction and continued to hit dead ends, but we had a lovely time. We were able to dick in and out of indoor exhibits between rain storms.

Joe Page

Amazing selection of animals! Great price for entry. Nice pavilion and lawn for picnics . Parking lot not so great and streets leading to Zoo are confusing. Worth a stop while in Albuquerque!

Zoo boo isn't quite great. You wait in line at booths for 5 minutes just for one piece of candy . Parking is impossible to find, and the zoo is crowded . But, good exercise.

Estevan Tafoya

When they have their concerts here it is an awesome time to hit the zoo then catch some live tunes on a summer evening!

Matthew Ayoub

Getting a Bio Park membership is an amazing deal. Nothing like unlimited zoo (and aquarium/garden) access!

Michael Smith

Great zoo and a fantastic open grass area to let the kids run wild. Great exhibits too. Go in the Morning to miss the crowds and heat

Michelle Mills

Flamingos the first attraction as you walk in the gates, beautiful!

Jackie Sandoval

Zoo Boo today from 11am to 4pm. Come out and help Raise Money to feed the animals and get your picture taken with a Star Wars character or other Super hero character...

Deanna Finchamp

One of my favorite zoos so far and I've been to over 20! Very nice. Got amazing giraffe pictures

Tim Litwiller

Beautiful Zoo It takes more time then their literature recommends to see everything

Deborah Dorff

Don't forget to bring quarters to buy food so the kids (big & small) can feed the ducks and fish . Lots of fun!

Wes Brawner

Great zoo , especially for the price. Even though some animals were off exhibit or docile, it was worth the price.

Jonathan Eyestone

Great layout, lots to see and do. Kept my little kids ingested all day.

Cynthia Perske

Nice variety of animals. Good habitats. Nice layout.

Katie Cameron

Don't miss the seals and sea lions. Great display and it's a nice shady spot to get out of the heat.
