Founded in 1927 on 64 acres next to the Rio Grande, the ABQ BioPark Zoo offers visitors close encounters with more than 250 species of exotic and native animals. Popular species include seals and sea lions, chimpanzees, elephants, polar bears, giraffes, hippos, koalas, Mexican wolves, monkeys, jaguars, Komodo dragons and zebras. My kids loved the play structures and the exhibits. There is a train that links the gardens to the Zoo. It is a great adventure for your kids!
