ABQ BioPark Aquarium

Amazing! Beautiful! Wonderful! And that was just the girl at the ticket booth! Really the whole place was incredible! The wife and I very much enjoyed the different types of gardens but were especially impressed with the huge wild toad and the pet table koi in the thoughtfully designed and cared for Japanese garden. On our way out we enjoyed seeing the friendly workers decorating the tiny train area with string lights; then we happened upon the best part, the fantasy area for kids! The giant bugs and vegetation along with the cave and massive fallen tree along with the termite mound maze definitely lent to a feeling of being transported into a world of imagination! All of that along with eating lunch next to the incredible aquatic display in the lunch room was well worth the $20 admission fee, and we didn't even have time to enjoy the included entry to the aquarium! Give yourself a few hours to enjoy these two parks included in the one ticket, we had a plane to catch! By the way, the burgers and sweet potato fries are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Wow are they delicious! As for advanced ticket purchase, only do this if you know it's likely to be busy, maybe a weekend or holiday; they require choosing the hour you will arrive ahead of time, we didn't want that stress so figured we'd chance just purchasing when we arrived and were glad we did!

This is a really clean and well kept aquarium that has lots of different kinds of fish. The main aquarium was exciting to just sit and observe the fish being fed a little food by one of the keepers who was in the aquarium. When you go to the shark cafeteria you can see it from the other side. Nice and relaxing.

Very awesome place and perfect set up they have you could see everything there was no having to stand in any crazy way just to see anything in the tanks it was all perfectly open and the sign being backwards so it can be lit up the right way on the tank was the most perfect touch. Would absolutely recommend this place to any and everybody. We asked about where the otters were because we didn’t see them and one of the workers called on the radio and they had them out in less than 10 minutes. The price was worth it because they also had the botanical garden ticket with it and that was also so beautiful. Only 4 stars though because everything in the gift shop was super overpriced ): $26 for a plushy just seems way too over it for me. Other than that everything was perfect. From the workers to the tanks and fish 10/10

This is a delightful little aquarium. It doesn't take long to get through and was surprisingly small. But it is very clean, critters are well labeled and in good health. The otters were so adorable and even got to see them being fed and the large viewing tank was nice.

Nice educational experience for kids in area but between construction and space, not quite worth the $20. Nice to give locals and military a discount but nothing for educators...I hope the extra 50 cents will help improve and enlarge facility. Something to do to avoid heat of day but don't plan on a long, extensive visit.

I Love to bring my kids here especially on hot days. the exhibits are always so fun to see. I would have 5* if they still had the room where you get to touch done of the creatures.

Just an amazing space. Food and water is pricey, so bring snacks and water. Grounds are well maintained and parking was easy. Definitely go if you have a day to enjoy the whole park.

Who doesn't enjoy getting to spend an hour looking at beautiful fish! This aquarium is big enough to hold your interest for over an hour, but not so large that you feel like you have to commit the entire day to it. I absolutely love the Rio Grande River exhibit that you go through on entry.p
