This was a very nice zoo. Clean and easy to manuver around in. The animals seemed to be healthy and well taken care of. As always the primates were a good show. Ya gotta love those furry nit pickers. When we were at the zoo they had a bird show going on in a special area 3 times daily. It was very entertaining. i know exhibits tend to change so I am not sure if it is still there. If it is and you have time it was definately worth the hour or so and it was a nice place to sit and relax.
The Matunda Cafe is open seasonally and located in the Africa exhibit area across from the Out of Africa gift shop and train station. The cafe has an outdoor seating area and serves soft drinks, sandwiches, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, chips, candy and ice cream. For more info. please call (505) 764-6215
We had a nice lunch here. Warning it gets packed quick. We had to wait some but 20 minutes after we were through the lines were horrible.

The Botanic Gardens are located next to the Zoo and Aquarium. Sorry to say some of my pictures have gone the way of the computer crash. :( These gardens are very lovely and you can stroll around and see so many diffrent varieties of life in here. The glass conservatory filters heat producing UV rays and blooms year round--with xeric species in the Desert Pavilion, aromatic species in the Mediterranean Pavilion. A trio of walled gardens salutes Old World design in fountains, tile, herbs and roses. The Children's Fantasy Garden was a favorite of both mine and Dons. Well we are just two very large kids you know.
Starting with a fourteen foot high topiary dragon that guards the castle gates, visitors get a larger-than-life perspective of plants, gardening, horticulture and people. It was really a fun place to go. For information regarding disabilities , hours and special events please be sure to check out thier website.
