This 1,600-acre bucolic park has enough activities to fill days at a time and is particularly popular among families with children.

Its got to be one of the largest, best planned green spaces in the world, twice the size of NYC’s Central Park. There are nine museums within its confines giving me access to some of the best art and artefacts in the entire city. Lungfulls of clean oxygen in a city chocking with pollution. One of my fav spots is home to the Fuente de Tlaloc and the Carcamo de Dolores, featuring two of Rivera’s more unique and lesser known works of art- the massive mosaic tile fountain and mural. Its nice to sit and contemplate one’s navel or watch the never still locomotion of the populace at play or rest. I am in the reading garden audiorama sitting on the comfy multicoloured bench while all around me children, elderly folk and tourists like me take time out to let this marvel of great planning, seep- in and invade my pleasured sensorium. Its perfectly positioned opposite the amazing Anthropological Museum on the Paseo de la Reforma. Its a zig-zag kind of adventure with terrific views like nowhere else. All roads bordering the park have the best preserved Art Deco buildings which form a non ending eye-candy for this architectural buff. the best in my time in the capitol were: Avenida Mexico, Avenida Amsterdam, Campeche and Queretaro.

Lovely environment abutting my hotel. Green space is well lit at night making it a nocturnal place for dog walkers, joggers and those that sit holding hands. There’s a bike path, reflecting pools, aviary and art installations. I criss- crossed it many times for its peaceful demeanour and pleasantness. The clock tower has a mini art gallery. Plenty of eateries within stone-throw distance

This park is located in the north of Mexico City, the park is appropriate to walk, run or just take your dogs for a little bit, it is very interesting for small children and it is advised to visit for about two hours.

There are also many attractions, museums, zoo, park, castle, more museums, viewpoints, etc. etc. I recommend you go to Chapultepec Castle to the rhythm of each one, you can easily be up in half an hour, without much effort. The views towards reform are the best of the forest. The small museum inside the castle serves as a context for its construction and function that it has had in the history of Mexico. Do not stop visiting the site and return as many times as necessary.

This lake, popular for family boating outings, is located in the large Chapultepec Park.
Reviewed By grip652 - Collierville, United States
Paddling a boat on this man-made lake offers a panoramic view of the area. The park, outdoor market, Casa de Lago, and children's playground. It's very scenic and can be very crowded on weekends when it seems like all the residents of Mexico City come to enjoy the park.

The site of a former Aztec zoo, its present incarnation, open since the 1920s, is best known for its Russian pandas.

I took my 10 years old kid to this zoo and he loved it... Lots of animals and birds... Located at Bosque de Chapultepec it is perfect for a walk and a time with family and kids... You can reach the zoo by taking public transportation like the bus or metro, entrance is for free however you can leave a cash contribution to support the zoo
