This park is great. It showcases allot of New Mexico wildlife. It's a fairly long hike so be sure to come prepared. Bring water, comfortable shoes, suntan lotion , and maybe a role of quarters.They can be used to purchase animal feed, as well as operate the telescopes along the trail. I would also recommend having a good meal before hand because they do not allow food on the trail. Be sure to see Maggie the bear when you go . This animal is an aspiring artist, she paints. They usually have her art available for sale.

Awesome visitor center & gift shop. Love the self-guided walking tour. Lots of plants & flowers, insects, and animals to photograph. The scenic view of the surrounding area is neat. I would give this location 5 stars if it were not for some of the exhibits. A few empty ones, and some others need a bit of work. Overall, the exhibits are well done.

Saw the sign and decided to check it out! Wow!! This is truly the best exhibit of dessert wildlife and plants, and it only cost us $5 each as seniors! Also had electric carts for rent @$5.Great when you can't walk far. This is definitely a place to visit and experience the beautiful desert!

Very pleasantly surprised to visit here!! The succulent green house was amazing, I could have spent hours in there looking at the cool cacti. $5/person is a deal. If any of my family from FL ever comes to visit me here in Carlsbad I’ll definitely be making a stop with them here!

Great combination botanical garden and zoo to learn about New Mexico. Family friendly - even had strollers to borrow. Easy walk along paved surface with some inside exhibits.
