Great children's garden. butterfly pavilion, local plants.The garden has activities year round. December has the winter light display, spring the aquarium, summer and winter the botanical gardens. Both the aquarium and park offer areas of play for the kids. You can spend hours touring this facility.

A great way to spend half a day. We enjoyed the well-maintained park and all of the great shade. The poar bears were the highlight!

We are members and go often; mostly on weekdays. This is a gem in the desert (and ABQ is a desert!). Lovely plants, seasonal color. Just an all-round nice place to stroll and spend a pleasant hour or two. I highly recommend the BioPark!

The short version: The zoo had a nice selection of animals, but it was sometimes hard to figure out where we were and if we missed any exhibits. The aquarium was small, but had a couple of nice tanks - particularly the ocean tank and the jellyfish tanks. The botanical gardens was a lot of walking and didn't seem to... More

We stopped there as a break on our cross country trip to let our kids stretch their legs. The woman at the admission gate told us about the butterfly exhibit....it didn't even open until May! I believe we visited at the wrong time of year to see the full effects of the gardens. My kids (11,7,and 4) enjoyed the kid's... More

We spent the day at the aquarium, botanical gardens and the zoo - all with a combo admission. It was worth the time to plan out zoo times and event schedules because getting back and forth between the zoo and the aquarium/botanical gardens takes a good chunk of time. The botanical gardens has a great kids area that is need... More

I took my grandchildren here one afternoon. It was difficult to get them to leave! The children's section of the park is a must for all ages.
