We stopped by on our way to Ruidoso NM. It’s the oldest Zoo in the state so we thought stop. It was worth the $2.50 (senior discount) for for 45 minute break from the drive.

We were warmly welcomed to the zoo by Becca Michael, excellent director of Education, who gave us a history of the zoo and pointed out the highlights of the various exhibits. Thank you Becca!

We went on a Tuesday afternoon and it wasn't busy but it definitely wasn't empty. The zoo itself takes about 20-30 mins, depending on your speed, to go through but they have a huge park and playground there which was nice. Everyone was super helpful and the price was low. Looks like they are adding on some more displays. Overall a good experience and fun way to spend part the day. We'll be back soon.

Great little zoo. Nice mix of animals and birds. Clean bathrooms, cute gift shop. Playground and picnic tables. No dogs allowed. Very affordable.
