The ABQ BioPark is once again honoring veterans and active-duty military this Veterans Day with $1 admission on Wednesday, November 11. The discount will apply to up to five immediate family members accompanying the veteran or military personnel. The veteran or active personnel must be in attendance and present a valid military or veteran's ID card.

At the Zoo, guests will be able to visit updated areas including the AZA award-winning Asia, Australian shores, and Running Wild. The Aquarium has been refreshed with new graphics and more accessible pathways, and the Botanic Garden is proud to welcome guests back to the BUGarium, reopened last week after a major renovation, as well as the new Lebanon & Beyond garden and the awe-inspiring ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN.

Tickets are available online and in-person. The special admission is for one-time use at the Zoo OR Aquarium & Botanic Garden. The discount does not apply to combo tickets.
