This is such a lovely little zoo! There was a diverse amount of animals in what looked like spacious, well kept enclosures. It is not a large zoo and there are lots of trees and shade. I would recommend going early, even with all the shade, it got hot around 11. They charge $12 for admission, $9 if you are... More

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.

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.

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!
