Aquarium & Botanic Garden Station — Attraction in Albuquerque

We had so much fun with the kiddos here today! We only made it through the Aquarium because it was already almost nap time, but it was still cool! We stopped at the end and got a quick meal, which was pretty good as well. Plus there's a wall tank in the dining area..the only thing that was unfortunate is that the menus say there's a fish/ shark feeding at 2, so we waited - after 2:00 passed, I asked when they do it and she said 3-3:30 :/ Hope they change the menus to prevent more disappointment. Overall, it was a good experience. The Aquarium part was small..you could walk through it in minutes, but with kids being entertained and amazed, it's a bit longer. Can't wait to go through Botanicals...

Some benches to sit. Go have fun and look for the Sharks and the jellyfish...
