More than 200 species of wildlife from around the world live here. In keeping with its mission of wildlife care and conservation, the zoo has established captive breeding programs for more than a dozen endangered species. Concerts are performed on the grounds during the summer. There's a cafe on the premises.
American International Rattlesnake Museum:- 202 San Felipe St. NW Albuquerque, NM
Included in this strange collection of living "rattlers" are rare and unusual specimens, such as an albino western diamondback. The museum's labels, its engaging staff, and a video will supply you with the lowdown on these venomous creatures -- for instance, that they can't hear their own rattles and that the human death rate from rattlesnake bites is less than 1%.

You'll see birds, frogs, ducks, and turtles. The park has active programs for adults and children and trails for biking, walking, and jogging.
