The ABQ BioPark is revamping its beloved Children’s Fantasy Garden with a major renovation designed to spark joy for families while honoring its iconic Medieval charm. The dragon at the entrance stays — possibly getting a fresh coat or new features to welcome visitors even more warmly. Classic elements like the giant ant sculptures are being retired from their current spot but will find new homes elsewhere in the Botanic Garden. Mayor Tim Keller says this is about building a vibrant, next-generation experience that’ll delight kids and adults for years to come — blending innovation with the magic that made the garden unforgettable.
