Rio Grande Botanic Garden
Covering over 10,000-square feet and housed in a striking glass-walled building, these botanical gardens contain an impressive array of plant life native to New Mexico. The outdoor conservatory surrounds a placid fish-pond and focuses on the desert plant life of New Mexico. The indoor conservatory features plant life from temperate climates throughout the world. The largest cottonwood tree gallery in the world is another highlight of the inside conservatory, as is the butterfly pavilion, home to hundreds of North American butterflies. This amazing botanical garden is housed within the Albuquerque Biological Park, which is also home to the Albuquerque Aquarium, the Rio Grande Zoo, and Tingley Beach.
