The Rio Grande Zoo — Main Plaza — Dayzone — Albuquerque
At the Rio Grande Zoo, rocky outcrops, grassy meadows, towering cottonwoods,
shimmering waterfalls, and tranquil pools create an oasis for exotic and
native species. Visitors will come face-to-face with over a thousand animals
of every shape and size, each one receiving the best of care every single day.
Great effort has been made to make the animals comfortable and the habitats
are large and well suited to the nature of the creatures within them.
There are animals of all shapes and sizes here, from elephants, to bison, to snow
leopards, to kangaroos, to alligators, to gazelles, to tropical birds. The
World Animal Encounter show brings certain animals up close to the public
twice daily during the summer. Children will especially enjoy the hands-on
stations throughout the Zoo, where they will be able to do things like touch a
mountain lion pelt, dig for fossils, and learn about animal health. Strollers,
lockers and kennels are available for rental at visitor services on the main
plaza. Free wheelchairs are available on request; the Zoo is fully handicapped-
accessible.
