BioPark Visitor Info & Tickets

Visitors Are Encouraged to Purchase Tickets Online in Advance

We encourage our visitors to purchase tickets for the Zoo, Botanic Garden and Aquarium online in advance.

Timed Ticketing

A limited number of timed tickets are available each day. Guests can reserve a date and an arrival time online. Guests are welcome to stay as long as they like.

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. The ABQ BioPark does not offer refunds for guests who cannot attend their allotted time.

Our timed-entry tickets are available online through HoldMyTicket.com. To order tickets by phone and for all other ticket issues, call for the 311 Community Contact Center at 505-768-2000.

Rain Checks and Refunds

No rain checks or refunds. We encourage guests to check the weather forecast before purchasing tickets as there are NO refunds or rain checks for inclement weather unless the ABQ BioPark and the City of Albuquerque makes the decision to temporarily close for safety.
