Core facilities include: Albuquerque Aquarium, Rio Grande Botanic Garden, Rio Grande Zoo and Tingley Beach. The BioPark has an estimated 6,000 animals, 11,000 plants, 300 staff and 300 year-round volunteers. The Director of the Albuquerque BioPark is Ray Darnell. The Albuquerque Aquarium is a great place to explore aquatic environments by tracing a drop of water from the headwaters of the Rio Grande in southern Colorado to the Gulf of Mexico and out to the oceans of the world. Current exhibits highlight fish of the Rio Grande at Central Bridge, moray eels, invertebrates, coral reefs, floating jellies, sea turtles and lots of toothy sharks. Further construction will develop tanks that highlight species that live in the Pacific Ocean. (Location 2601 Central NW) The Rio Grande Botanic Garden celebrates the miracle of photosynthesis in living color every day. Our state-of-the-art glass conservatories feature plants native to Mediterranean climate zones and xeric plants from North American deserts and other arid regions of the world. A trio of formal walled gardens illustrates Old World design in fountains, tile, herbs and roses.

Modern zoo medicine, scientifically researched diets, naturalized habitats and specialized animal management techniques have helped transform the zoo into an oasis for both exotic and native species. In keeping with its mission of wildlife preservation, conservation and education, the zoo has established captive breeding programs for a Greenberg ©Jeff number of threatened and endangered species. In addition to a top-notch education program and year round classes, the zoo also offers a summer concert series. At the Albuquerque Aquarium, visitors follow the story of a drop of water as it enters the upper Rio Grande high in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, past canyons, deserts and valleys of New Mexico, Texas and Mexico, through the lower Rio Grande and finally into the Gulf of Mexico. A 285,000 gallon shark tank with floor to ceiling viewing windows is the home of many large Gulf sharks. An eel cave gives visitors the opportunity to see moray eels and a tidal pool demonstrates the effects of the tide on beaches and the animals that live just below the surface.

  • Introduction
    Introduction A trip down Route 66 very well may be the perfect family vacation. From the bustling streets of downtown Chicago, the old road runs south through the Illinois prairie, past cornfields and classic car lots, drive-in movie theaters and doughnut shops, on its way to the mighty Mississippi River, where it crosses the world’s longest pedestrian bridge and heads west into Missouri’s Ozark Mountains, passing tourist traps and wineries, cutting across the corner of Kansas and slipping quietly onto Oklahoma’s red clay for the long run past pecan groves and cattle and Cherokee trading posts on its way into the Texas Panhandle, and across the open, windy Panhandle to the ghost town of Glenrio, where the flat Texas terrain suddenly gives way to the magical vistas of New Mexico, and billboards advertising steak dinners are replaced by signs touting “Tucumcari Tonite!” On it goes, across the aptly-named Land of Enchantment and into the colors of Arizona, through the Painted Desert and past motels shaped like tepees on its way to the vast Mojave -- John Steinbeck’s “bright and terrible desert” -- and across the desert and into the green and prosperous land of palm trees and glitter where it finally runs out near the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, the Mother Road offers her children a host of kid-friendly attractions: cowboys and Indians, frozen custard, fiberglass giants, amusement parks, dinosaurs, horses, neon signs, tacky souvenirs, and a thousand other delights no kid can resist. This updated edition of Route 66 for Kids has been reformatted for ease of use.

  • Albuquerque Biopark: Creating Cultural Corridors and Social Landmarks in the Landscape
    Albuquerque BioPark: Creating Cultural Corridors and Social Landmarks in the Landscape Comprehensive Creative Project Six Semester Hours Submitted to the Graduate School In Partial Fulfi llment of the Requirements For the Degree Master of Landscape Architecture By Cynthia Mc Hone Martha Hunt, Committee Chair Robert Benson and George Radnovich, Committee Members Ball State University Muncie, Indiana July 2013 Comprehensive Creative Project: Albuquerque BioPark: Creating Cultural Corridors and Social Landmarks in the Landscape Student: Cynthia Ann Mc Hone Degree: Master of Landscape Architecture College: College Architecture and Planning Date: July 2013 Pages: 152 Abstract/Overview This creative project develops a master plan for cultural/art corridors leading into the Albuquerque Biological Park and designs a site-specifi c community/ social landmark, with precedent studies and schematic sections. Evolved from these scattered pieces of municipal projects over time, the 120-acre BioPark includes the Aquatic Park (2.5 acres,1995), Rio Grande Botanical Gardens (16 acres-1996), Tingley Beach (18 +/- acres, 1930’s W.P.A.), and the Rio Grande Zoo (63 acres-1927). These facilities have become a citywide community presence for all Albuquerque residents, but much progress remains to be made in this economically and culturally divided city. Since losing the Alvarado Hotel in the 1970s, Albuquerque’s citizens have not had a “Lynchian” landmark to identify with that also strikes a balance between community needs and tourism profi t margins. To address these challenges, this project seeks to answer two questions: 1. How can Lynchian design principles help fi ll a cultural void in Albuquerque’s urban fabric? 2.
