Welcome to the lovely Sasebo Japanese Gardens located at the Albuquerque BioPark.
Just beyond this humble entrance are the gardens, a tranquil environment that allows visitors to adapt to a similar serene state of being. Walk just beyond this bell tower and you'll find a gorgeous garden, complete with towering trees, still ponds, and an elegantly manicured landscape.
You'll find a combination of beautiful landscapes around the park, from lush green foliage surrounding wooden bridges and quiet, koi-filled ponds...
It is one part of the Botanic Garden at the city's BioPark, where you can stroll through a green landscape while surrounded by a silent, verdant enclosure. The four acres expertly mixes Japanese and desert fauna into a peaceful environment.
Hidden gems are scattered around the garden, such as pagodas, stone lanterns, and delicate flowers blooming.
The park is located in the heart of the city, just south of Interstate 40. This peaceful park is typically open daily from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except for major holidays. For details about admission, special events, and more, visit the BioPark’s website or Facebook for more details.
