Really enjoyed the friendly staff at the nature center. Enjoyed watching roadrunners in the parking area and the beautifully decorated bird blind near the marsh area. Nice little butterfly garden.We enjoyed hiking the trails, especially along the river to the ramada. Trail not always marked. Some trails are really bike trails and have less shade. I enjoyed the narrow trails with shade.

Nice afternoon walk through the center with a $3 self pay entry fee. At 3pm on Wednesday there was almost nobody there. This is adjacent to a state park that extends to the Rio Grande.

Great trails with marked vegetation, informative stations along the trails, visitor center has great displays and exhibits giving much information about the Bosque and nice little gift shop with unique items.

This a wonderful state park and preserve. Nice hiking and biking trails. Good view of the Rio Grande.

Beautiful place to hike! Beware, they will lock you in if you don’t leave at a certain time. Tons of signs about it.

A small peaceful state park with some nice walking trails down to the river

Nice, safe place to walk. $3 parking.

The view towards the duck pond is really nice.

Beautiful place! Wish I lived in Albuquerque

The Ranger was an awesome tour guide. GREAT PLACE FOR THE FAMILY

Very nice place to get away from the city.There is a 3$ parking fee per car cash and exact change only.

What a beautiful fall day to enjoy nature.

Awesome place. Worth waking around for an hour if passing through Albuquerque.

It was cold, but absolutely beautiful. Dress accordingly and youre guaranteed to have a beautiful time.

Beautiful park in the fall with Cottonwood trees in full yellow. Nice hiking trails, and spots to get to the Rio Grande. Great bird watching area as well.

Great walk and very nice views all around

Free park with multiple activities available. Parking inside park is 3$. The welcome center has bathrooms which are clean, and friendly staff ready to answer any quesrions you have. There is also a pond viewing area which appears to have a lot of turtles in view as well as a few geese. Bookstore is available to peruse and gain some knowledge. My group took a modified aldo leopold loop which was quite pleasant, only complaints were the vast amounts of horse poop on the trail.

Beautiful place to go and see the seasons change. Take a walk and fall in love with nature.

The center is small but has nice indoor and outdoor viewing areas from which you can see a variety of wildlife.

Great place to see and experience nature.

Maybe the best thing Albuquerque has going for it. And the foothills. Never the same experience twice

Great for kids and adults. Be sure to follow the paths. We did get lost but found our way back.

Visitor center is nice and very informative. They have a room just for kids to learn and play.

Very cool spot, keep an eye out for porcupines in trees!

Covid closures and still want you to pay admission. Not on my watch.

Nice place for a easy hike.

Excellent spot for an out-of-towner to do a bit of birding.

Great place birds and some education

The Rio grande nature center is a great place to take a leisurely stroll to look at birds or to sit inside and look over the pond observing birds and other wildlife, very low-key. This is a great place for so bring your camera. I wish Albuquerque could give the center some money somehow to freshen the place up . The staff are very knowledgeable about the Bosque and local wildlife and can help you identify and birds etc. You might see. if you want to explore further there is a walk that connects to the Bosque and the bike trail. The picture below is a ladder back woodpecker.
