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!

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.
