Reviews
"The Bugarium is part of the botanical gardens of ABQ, you need to purchase a ticket to go visit and they cost 10 USD for both the gardens and the Aquarium (Bugarium included). Definitely worth a visit if you're into bugs and biology in general."
"This place is an incredible find, tucked away in the middle of Albuquerque's beautiful Botanic Garden. One of, if not the best insect exhibits I've ever visited and a wonderful surprise. Big shout-out to the awesome staff here too."
"The place is small, but it's still really nice. It is a part of botanic garden and it does not require any extra fees."
"Definitely worth the time to figure out where to park, etc. It was hard to find where it was, but I kept asking people and finally found it. You enter in the botanical gardens ask people and they will direct you to the bulgarium. I purchased my ticket and the ticket actually gets you in the aquarium and botanical gardens as well as the bulgarium. It was a great deal and a fun time."
"Wonderful time spent here and had a lot of fun and enjoyed all the insects and other critters that were there.This is next to the aquarium and you can access it free when you show your ticket stubs.Well worth a visit and tge value is awesome.Spring will be worth going back to check out yhe butterfly exhibit."
