Geocache Description:


The Surprise Garden

One of my favorite places in Albuquerque. When you are there it doesn't feel like you are in Albuquerque!

The Surprise Garden Virtual Cache is located in the Botanic Garden, which is part of the Albuquerque BioPark.

This Virtual cache is only available during the hours of 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. There is an admission fee, however, I believe it is well worth the price of a ticket to visit.

Check out the website for more details: https://www.cabq.gov/culturalservices/biopark/garden

Hours: Gates open 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. daily. Park closes at 5 p.m.

Closed: January 1st, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Logging Requirements:
  1. Have fun exploring the park! There are so many different places to explore!
  2. Find the pagoda located at the cache coordinates. I included a picture of the pagoda you need to find. No need to leave the walking path to find it!
  3. Count the number of crescent moons on the pagoda and send me a message with the answer.
  4. Post a picture of your visit to the garden with your log.

While you are there I recommend you check out the Railroad Garden, BUGarium, and the Fantasy Garden!
