Visitors Must Purchase Tickets Online in Advance

Timed Ticketing
To ensure social distancing between guests, we are limiting the number of timed tickets available each day. Guests will choose a time and date when they purchase tickets online and must arrive within a half-hour of that time.
New Mexico BioPark Society members will continue to receive complimentary admission to the BioPark, but must now reserve a “ticket” online in order to visit.
Our timed-entry tickets are available online through HoldMyTicket.com. For ticketing assistance over the phone, please call Hold My Ticket at 1-877-466-3404.
