The 2nd Largest Zoo in New Mexico!

Hillcrest Park Zoo is a zoological park, and is the 2nd Largest Zoo in New Mexico. We have been in operation since the 1930s, and in this particular location since the 1950s. Our park is located within Hillcrest Park, with more than 140 acres of park land, lots of playground equipment for children to enjoy, a seasonal Splash Park, a Sunken Garden for weddings and plenty of picnic areas available.

Our park provides a wholesome, educational, and unique experience for both children and adults – making it perfect for a family outing! We are proud to be a favorite New Mexico attraction and offer visitors the chance to see many different wild animals including a Bengal tiger, giraffes, reptiles, primates and more.
