“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.
