We too our 4 year old twins to the Albuquerque zoo on a day that topped out at 98 degrees and were pleased by many things. We are zoo connoisseurs and this zoo met our needs. They have a wide variety of animals, good sight lines, and sell maintained settings. The zoo's paths are meandering, so they isolate you from... More

Every year we take our daughter to the zoo before it starts getting too hot. This weekend was my sons very first time and he loved it. Its worth it just to see them smile and giggle at the animals. We usually take a picnic lunch and eat under the trees.

This was a great zoo to visit. It was very clean and we saw a lot of interesting animals. It was nicely done. Very hot the day we visited, but many places to get out of the sun.

The animals had just been fed and it was already a hot day, so we didn't get to see much activity at ten in the morning. The animals all looked like they had just taken their energetic grandkids to the zoo, just like us. Somehow we couldn't seem to find many monkeys or any of several other typical zoo residents....

I visited the zoo with mu husband. Upon entrance, we were given a map. Note that if you want to do the zoo/aquarium/gardens in a day, they stop selling the combo tickets at 12 noon. We paid $20 for the combo ticket and were given a wrist band for the train. The layout is awful. No real rhythm as to... More
