Rio Line Bio Park Train, Albuquerque


The Albuquerque Biopark is a large area on the Rio Grande River that contains a zoo, an aquarium, a botanical garden and a large park with fishing ponds. Unfortunately, these are strung out over a large distance and are not easy walking distance from each other. The solution is the Rio Line train that runs from the Zoo to the Aquarium with a stop at the park. You can board the train at the zoo, or the aquarium or the park and go to any other venue. The ride includes two tunnels that duck under city streets and a spin through the nursery area of the botanical garden so it's a fun ride. They have two train circulating all the time so the they board every half hour at each stop. They're working on a third train which will complicate the schedule but cut down the wait.
