The ABQ BioPark Zoo, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a large zoological park spanning over 64 acres. Established in 1927, the zoo is home to over 900 animals from 250 species, including rare and endangered ones. The park's mission is to provide visitors with exciting and educational experiences while promoting environmental awareness and the importance of conservation and biodiversity.

In addition to viewing and learning about a diverse array of animals, visitors can enjoy a variety of interactive experiences such as animal feedings and keeper talks. The zoo also offers educational programs for all age groups, making it a great destination for families and school field trips.

Moreover, the ABQ BioPark is not just a zoo; it's part of a larger entity that includes a botanic garden, aquarium, and Tingley Beach. A single ticket provides visitors access to all these facilities, providing a comprehensive nature experience.

The ABQ BioPark Zoo heavily emphasizes conservation, participating in many local and international conservation initiatives. The park is involved in various Species Survival Plan (SSP) programs designed to manage and conserve a select, typically threatened or endangered species population.
