Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — The Albuquerque BioPark reports they’ve been dealing with a more than $200,000 increase in food and drug costs in just the past four years. As a result, they’re asking city leaders to increase ticket prices at the zoo, aquarium and botanic garden by $1 for New Mexicans. The increase on in state tickets, is projected to bring in about $275,000. A single adult ticket to the zoo would go up to $11, while the combo pass would increase to $17. There will still be discounts for veterans, and families receiving SNAP benefits. The last time the BioPark raised admission fees for New Mexicans was in 2017.
