About

Open daily from 9am to 5pm, this historic zoo fits easily into an Albuquerque day out. Spanning 64 acres at the Rio Grande Zoo, nearly 100 years of history meet lush botanics and exotic animals. The zoo is part of the larger ABQ BioPark, which also includes an aquarium, botanic garden, and Tingley Beach.

It's a clean, comfortable place with thoughtful enclosures and a good variety of species. Crowds are light, making it easy to meander.

“Great zoo in ABQ”

We enjoy checking out city zoos on trips, and this one was pretty nice. It was clean, had many animals from around the world, and the polar bears were a highlight. The grounds were tidy, enclosures were clean and easy to see, and the designs seemed well thought out. It wasn't overly crowded, making for a pleasant stroll. Not an amazing zoo, but a very good one.
