Chapultepec Park is such a beautiful and peaceful place here in the middle of the largest city in the world. It is very safe and well maintained. Strolling about the park before and after visiting Chapultepec Castle is part of a wondrous charm. Great for families.

mexico city boasts many parks..but this natural park has so many entriguing things from huge museums,a castle on the mountain and great views, a lake w/paddle rides, plenty of entertainment for the kids not to mention the mile long parade of vendors and the huge zoo...if you missthis ..you werent in mexico city

Chapultepec is home to an impressive array of top world museums, so I only write her of the parklands itself. It *could* be a Central Park/Stanley Park level venue.

You can rent a boat to enjoy a large lake, especially when travelling with kids (number of boats available to be rented... More

If you are expecting a North American Park, e.g. Stanley Park in Vancouver, or Central Park in NYC, you will be disappointed. It is neither lush and green, nor is it relaxing. It is dusty, crowded, and the paths through the park are lined with many vendors. If you are going to Maximillan's castle, you can't avoid the park. If... More

This lovely park is home to many of the best museums in the city in addition to is relatively small open spaces. It is a great place to visit. You might want to consider renting a bike to see the whole thing as it stretches out with some nice wandering roadways.
