Save Money with Albuquerque BioPark Yearly Passes




One of the best ways to save money when trying to entertain the family this summer is to look for yearly or seasonal passes that can be used for your group. Whether 2 people or 5, you will almost always save a bundle by purchasing passes ahead of time.

There are several passes that I have for Ashley and I, and this post is all about the Albuquerque BioPark. One reason I really like this pass is because is good for an entire year... but more than that, I like this pass because it's good for *3* different parks in Albuquerque.

With this pass, you can access the Rio Grande Zoo, the Botanical Gardens, and the Albuquerque Aquarium. The Gardens and the Aquarium are practically next door, so you can visit one then walk next door to the other. The zoo is just up the street.... so you can drive, or do it the fun way and take the $2 train from the Gardens/Aquarium to the zoo and back! A $2 train ticket will get you a round trip between the parks.

This pass has unlimited entry to all 3 parks for a year from when you purchase the pass. Because of the unlimited entry option for all 3 parks, you can go for the day, or just for lunch and not have to feel bad about paying the entry fee just for a small time in the park.

The general admission ticket prices are as follows:

One Park Access-

Under 3: FREE
Child (3-12): $3
Adult: $7
Senior (65+): $3

Combo Pass (to access more than one park in a single day)-


Under 3: FREE
Child (3-12): $5
Adult: $12
Senior (65+): $5


The season pass will save you money if you plan on visiting more than a few times over the course of the next 12 months. The prices for the pass combinations are as follows:
