Things to Do
Albuquerque is a wonderful place with many things to do--you just need to know where to find them! I've listed a number of fun stuff on our site. I've focused on the free, city-supported, and non-profit organizations. If you would like to see a longer list, go to the Albuquerque Convention & Visitors Bureau site at: http://www.visitalbuquerque.org/
Biopark
Tha Albuquerque Biopark includes Aquarium, Botanic Gardens, Zoo, and Tingley Beach. Throughout the year there are a variety of fun and educational events at the biopark venues. These events include speakers, exhibits, brown-bag luncheons, sleepovers, camps, tours, and much more!
You can purchase an annual pass that gives you free access to the biopark. It will also give you a discounted price to most events hosted at the park.
For more information about the biopark, visit the cultural services section of the City of Albuquerque's website at: http://cabq.gov/culturalservices/biopark/
Parks, Trails, Open Spaces, and Recreation Centers
Albuquerque has almost 300 parks, over 113 miles of trails, and a variety of recreation centers. The beautiful mountain range that backs our homes is one of the many open spaces!
You can take a variety of classes at the parks and recreation centers including: swimming, arts & crafts, martial arts, and golfing. If you are feeling adventurous, you can even go rock climbing, skateboarding skiing or snowboarding!
