Albuquerque's Tingley Beach

Why not take some time out of your schedule and visit Albuquerque's Tingley Beach. The perfect place to make those special family memories. Pick up a fishing pole, pack some extra bread for the frolicking ducks, and don't forget the camera. Tingley Beach has fantastic fishing lakes, a model boat pond, and pedal boats. You will need a fishing license and a little cash to rent the pedal boats but with some advance planning you can make a great day out of a trip to Tingley.

Pedal boats, model boats and bikes may be rented from the gift shop during the summer. Take a train ride on the Rio Line to the Aquarium/Garden and Zoo from Tingley. You can park at Tingley and hop on the Thunder Bird Express for a family trip to the Bio Parks.

Tingley Beach Outfitters, located inside the train station, sells fishing licenses, train tickets and fishing gear. Open from 10:00am to 4:00pm on Saturdays and Sundays through Memorial Day. During summer, from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the store is open seven days a week. Tingley Cafe sells hamburgers, hot dogs and light snacks from 10:00am to 4:00pm daily. Public restrooms are located at the south end of the train station building and are also open from sunrise to sunset.

Tingley Beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the day. It's one of my top favorite family places to visit in Albuquerque!
