Botanic Garden
An oasis of color in the desert. The Botanic Garden is open from nine to five on weekdays and can be found at 2601 Central Ave. NW. The Botanic Garden is really something of a shocker. Step in from the midday heat of the Southwestern sun and you'll be surprised to find thousands of samples of local and exotic flora. The park stays open until six on weekends and on certain holidays, so if you want to take an evening trip, you need only wait until Saturday or Sunday to take in the sights of the Albuquerque Botanic Garden.
The Biopark and the Albuquerque Zoo
Located at the Albuquerque Biopark, the Albuquerque Zoo boasts animals from around the world, everywhere from Africa to Australia and Mexico. Giraffes, apes, lions, and even llamas and alpacas that you can pet. Show up on select days during the summer and you can even give a giraffe a handful of feed while you pet him on the nose. The Albuquerque Zoo can be found at 903 Tenth SW where it is open from nine to five on weekdays.
Roosevelt Park
You're going to be surprised to see this much shady green grass in New Mexico. We're known for our scenic red vistas, our cliffs and big skies uncluttered by dense forestation, but the Roosevelt Park offers biking and walking paths all shaded by lush green trees and thick grass. Disc golf is popular at the Roosevelt Park, and you couldn't ask for a better place to walk your dog, take a date or spend the day with the kids. You can find the Roosevelt Park at Coal & University SE.
New Mexico may seem like a dry desert when you first arrive, but take some time exploring the parks of Albuquerque and you'll see that there's so much more to the Land of Enchantment than sand and sun.
