Naturally Evolving
We're Putting Your ABQ BioPark Gross Receipts Tax Dollars To Work
The ABQ BioPark is creating an enhanced experience for both our residents and human guests. You will notice some construction fences and perhaps small detours around the Zoo, Botanic Garden and Aquarium. All parks remain open and most habitats are available to enjoy. Many of our projects are funded by the Gross Receipts Tax, passed by voters and enacted in 2016.
