About Albuquerque Aquarium

The aquarium sits beside the Rio Grande inside the ABQ BioPark, a city-run environmental park. Visitors move through a river-themed route that introduces aquatic animals found along the waterway, ending at the Gulf of Mexico. The city lists daily hours with a few seasonal closures and sells tickets online, with membership and discount options also available.
