It's a nice zoo, that can be visited and re-visited many times with the same pleasure, very clean, and space for the animals are very generous compared to many other zoos.

Went with my husband while visiting New Mexico for a few days. A very nice small zoo.Lots of kids with their familes enjoying the day and many school trips. Loved that you can have a picnic if you choose to right on the property. A nice variety of animals. Perfect place to spend a few hours while visiting Albuqueque. Mostly... More

The zoo has a very nice comfortable feel and look. The animals are all situated so you can enjoy them if when there on display. They have have a surprisingly good variety of animals and it takes a few hours to make your way through the entire zoo.

It was a very busy day at the zoo but it was very nice. The staff there works hard to keep the place clean and the animals seem to be well taken care of. I don't go to many zoos but this one seems to be a good one.

Watching the sea lions at feeding time is hilarious. The noises and tricks these animals will do for fish is well worth waiting out the Albuquerque heat to see!

I was pleased to find such nice enclosures for the wildlife at the zoo. The animals had structures and playthings to keep them occupied, so there wasn't a lot of bored pacing like you see at some zoos. There's a wide selection of animals from birds to monkeys to elephants. We especially enjoyed seeing the new baby giraffe!
