Beautiful park with plenty of walking/running/biking trails. Great place to grab a coffee outside and go for a morning stroll or bring a blanket and sit under the flowering trees. Seems very kid friendly with playgrounds, plenty of space to run, pedal boats, and even a zoo!

Beautiful park. Contains the Zoo, Castile de Chapultepec, and several museums. Tons of street venders and artists. Plan a good 90min to explore the park’s footprint.

Lovely city park with multiple museums and attractions to enjoy for a whole day. Options include anthropological, history, art museums, zoo, lake activities, gardens, playground, and food vendors. My favorite was the views from Chapulpetic Castle. Highly recommended.

Very chill park in the middle of CDMX. Great place to unwind. If you want a less crowded experience go to southern part of the park it’s separated by a highway but there were barely any people there when we went.

Beautiful park with lots of trees, picnic areas, great children play areas, butterflies, birds and animals. The anthropology museum and castle are here. You can rent boats in the lake. Lots of food vendors and, sometimes, special performances.
