The ABQ BioPark (or Albuquerque Biological Park) is an environmental museum located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The park contains four separate facilities:
Collectively the four facilities see about 1.5 million visitors a year. The ABQ BioPark is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). [2] City records indicate more than 1,100 animals are in the BioPark's care during the fiscal year (as of December 2016). [4]
The ABQ BioPark also operates a 36" narrow gauge railroad that connects these facilities. Trains are not running at this time due to COVID-19.The Albuquerque Biopark has been without its train for almost two years, however there is a new plan in mind which includes a new electric tram speed that will take visitors between the zoo, botanical gardens and aquarium. [5] The BioPark train, a popular part of the BioPark experience, has been gone for almost two years. [6] The new electric tram will transport about 60 people from the zoo to the aquarium in a few minutes. [7] The electric tram is set to stay on track, starting from the zoo, to Tingley beach, then to the botanical gardens. [8]
