Chapultepec Lake

Tourist attraction

😐 So the lake itself was a beautiful sight to see. The only problem was that none of the water activities were open probably because of covid. The zoo was okay. Not a lot of animals to see but the ones we did were cool for the most part. I still had fun though. My kids and I still had fun. We went to...

    (Translated by Google) A pinch of air in the west of the megalopolis. It is a really nice place, oars and boats cost 60 or 70 pesos. Which is quite inexpensive. Ideal to go with your spouse, girlfriend, or between friends. (Original) Una pizca de aire en el poniente de la megalópolis. Es un lugar realmente agradable, los remos y lanchas cuestan 60 o 70 pesos. Lo cual es bastante económico. Ideal para ir con tu cónyuge, novia, o entre amigos.

    So the lake itself was a beautiful sight to see. The only problem was that none of the water activities were open probably because of covid. The zoo was okay. Not a lot of animals to see but the ones we did were cool for the most part. I still had fun though. My kids and I still had fun. We went to the butterfly exhibit and we got some great pictures from there. I saw a giant guinea pig and the biggest animal they had were some Buffalo. Many parts of the zoo was empty because they were under construction. It is free to get in, but you have to pay to use the bathroom. The zoo store was very small. But the staff was very nice. I had a good time with my kids though. It is a place you should visit. Thank you

    (Translated by Google) This lake is part of the Bosque de Chapultepec and is a complete ideal for the entire recrational area that includes the forest. For a few pesos you can rent a rowboat or paddle boat and for a few minutes navigate the lake in its entirety. (Original) Este lago forma parte del Bosque de Chapultepec y es un completo ideal para todo el área recracional que comprende el bosque. Por unos pocos pesos podrás alquilar un bote a remos o a pedales y por unos minutos navegar el lago en toda su extensión.

    Boats are in poor condition

  • 5/5 Jeff M. 1 year ago on Google
    You'll have to go to this place if you're at CDMX.

  • 3/5 Karl Fajardo G. 6 years ago on Google
    The place has a particular beauty, some ducks around and a beautiful sight, but the service isn’t in the same way: The logistic can be update (they asked you for place your boat in a specific area instead of make a plan to resolve the problem, it’s difficult do it when a crowded is near and you don’t have experience) and workers can be friendlier. I imagine it’s a stressfull work, but who doesn’t have one?

  • 5/5 Ángel Reyna S. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 JAMES A. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Daniel U. 1 year ago on Google
    Super nice to do an hour of paddle boat time for 120$ Mexican… finding shade to relax between the islands could be needed if it is hot.

    Nice experience, price are decent, employees are helpful, life jackets were a little smelly and a big issue is that there are no restrooms close by.

  • 3/5 Daniel R. 1 year ago on Google
    Schöner großer Park, romantisch mit teich... zu viele stände die nutzlosen Krimskrams verkaufen zu wenig Bänke,keine dealer😂. Zu guter letzt ein toller Platz für frische luft bei.

  • 5/5 Laura Z. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place to take a boat ride, walk around the area and eat something. There are ducks, fishes, turtles and a variety of birds in the zone. You can rent 2 types of boats which are not expensive. Entrance is free. Restaurants are not near by but you can go walking. Nearby bathrooms were not working properly so I had to walk to the other ones at the other side of the lake. Amazing place to go on a weekend, you can also have some picnic in the grass near the lake.

  • 5/5 Adriano H. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing place, There are boats in which you can go around the lake, which is very fun or romantic, it depends on you.

    Beautiful lake in Chapultepec park. Had no idea that Mexico City had a park bigger than New Yorks Central Park. Nice place to hang out. Lots is museums as well as a real live castle.

    Amazing views to “Casa del lago”

  • 5/5 Alexios E. 5 months ago on Google
    Nestled within the heart of Mexico City's sprawling Bosque de Chapultepec, Lago de Chapultepec stands as a tranquil oasis amidst the urban buzz. This picturesque lake, spanning approximately 16 hectares, offers a welcome respite from the city's hustle and bustle, providing a haven for both locals and visitors alike. The lake's tranquil waters, fringed by lush greenery and dotted with whimsical paddle boats, invite leisurely strolls along its meandering paths. As you wander, take in the serene ambiance, punctuated by the gentle lapping of water against the shore and the melodious chirping of birds. I strongly recommend anyone going, on a weekend or public holiday with family and/or friends. Going alone is a good option too, but you enjoy it much more with others around you.

    (Translated by Google) Wonderful place not only of the Chapultepec forest, but of the entire city. Inspiration, relaxation, fun, it's just a little of what you can find in this place, of course it all depends on the day and time you visit it. It has a spectacular view at any angle, I can say that it is kept clean taking into account the influx of people who visit it. (Original) Lugar maravilloso no solo del bosque de Chapultepec, si no de toda la ciudad.

    (Translated by Google) Lanchacinema: is a free activity that takes place on the first Saturday of each month. It is advisable to go warm and carry some rubber bags to store your belongings since the floor of the boat will usually be wet. Contemplate that if you embark, the only way to go to the bathroom halfway through the show is by disembarking (rowing / pedaling). Tickets for the boats are delivered from 5:00 p.m. Tickets are delivered in Puerto Chico, next to Casa del Lago. It is very well organized. If you prefer not to embark, you can also enjoy the function on the terrace of Lake Maggiore. It starts at 8:00 p.m. (one must embark one hour before). (Original) Lanchacinema: es una actividad gratuita que realiza el primer sábado de cada mes. Es recomendable acudir bien abrigado y llevar unas bolsas de hule para guardar tus pertenencias ya que el piso de la lancha estará generalmente mojado. Contemplar que si te embarcas, la única manera de ir al baño a mitad de la función es desembarcando (remar/pedalear). Los boletos para las lanchas se entregan a partir de las 17:00 horas se entregan boletos en Puerto Chico, a un costado de Casa del Lago. Está muy bien organizado. Si prefieres no embarcar, también puedes disfrutar de la función en la terraza del Lago Mayor. Inicia 20:00 horas (hay que embarcar una hora antes).
