    This is a beautiful park that rivals some of the best urban parks like Central Park in NYC. This is huge and there are a lot of sights (museum, zoo etc) and things to do and good food to eat.

    Bosque de Chapultepec is a large park around CDMX! And..when I say large..it is very large! There are different sections within the park and..I think if your goal is really go walk around this whole park, that's probably at least a half day job for just walking and exploring. The cool thing about it is just that it is not just a park with trees or anything. There are different sections and structures for you to sit and explore throughout the park (like to see a panda, to see a market, a lake, etc). And..the beautiful thing about this park is..it is free! The government really takes care of this place well and everything is clean! Definitely check this out if you have time in CDMX and explore the park to just relax for a whole day. The place will heal your tired soul!

    I had heard Chapultepec compared to Central Park in NYC but in reality, it should be the other way around. Chapultapec is twice the size of Central Park and has a lake, a zoo, a castle and 7 museums, including the Museo de Anthropologia. And it has dogs. So many big amazing dogs who all seem to be at daycare or summer camp. They run with a pack of other urban pups playing tag in the morning and then by some dog-whispering magic, on cue settle down like toddlers for nap time when their handler says so. This is one of the best and most entertaining parts of the park for me on my way to museums or crossing the city. The other draw is of course the respite into nature from the traffic of the city. Chapultapec is full of trees and manicured shrubbery. It's clean and has lots of water and snacks and shade, and did I mention all the cute dogs?

    This is a great area to walk around and spend some time. The bosque contains several different attractions, including a castle, the museum of modern art, the museum of anthropology, a botanical garden, and a zoo. There might be other stuff too but that's what I remember seeing on the map and ended up walking through. With the fairly good weather in Mexico City, it makes for a very nice long walk! The botanical garden is particularly nice; I didn't go inside the museums, castle, or zoo but they looked nice from the outside. If you're walking from central Mexico City toward Polanco its nice to cut through the Bosque (I was walking there from Roma Norte).

    I've biked through here and walked through here several times and each time is perfection. It's a very lush and big forest amongst CDMX so like Central Park in NYC, it feels like an oasis. I only wish that I had the time to go check out the Diego Rivera murals there. Go on. Go do it.

    On a recent trip to Mexico City, we visited the Bosque de Chapultepec twice! It's the largest city park in the country (the second largest in Latin America), so it has a lot to offer and we couldn't see it all in one day! The bosque/forest is divided into four sections - the first of which is the most visited! It contains a ton of attractions: the National Museum of Anthropology, the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of History in the Chapultepec Castle, lakes, paved paths, several zonas de comida (kind of like areas for food stands we would have at a fair?), and more! (It also has a zoo that is the most visited attraction in the park if you're zoo people!) We visited on weekdays so it wasn't too busy anywhere we were in the park. The park's attractions are great, and it's also a nice place to wander/stroll/relax between attractions!

    This is a huge park smack in the middle of the city! I loved all the greenery. I was so impressed at how clean it was. There were tons of vendors down walkways set up under their blue tents. Some were selling waters, others street food, and of course others souvenirs. Here, we found the cheapest prices on souvenir t shirts. It closed at dawn and the security guards manning the gates won't let you in. It's definitely a must!

    Bosque de Chapultepec has 4 sections. Section one is a dog free area where you will find museums, the zoo, plenty of people exercising and even classes that you can join in for just a few dollars held outside. There are many vendors as well as places to eat. Families gather on the weekend at the park for picnics and parties. It is lovely. Section 2 is dog friendly and for that reason my favorite section. Great running and walking trails. Less vendors but you can still find some. The amusement park was redone and is open again- that is a fee area where is the rest of the park is open to all. Section 3 is more rustic and wonderful for long hikes. Section 4 is in the process of being open so I will review it later.

    The lungs of the city. Bosque de Chapultepec is the Central Park of Mexico City. This gigantic park is easy to get lost in, and you want to get lost in this park. The massive green space in an urban area such as CDMX is a refreshing and much-needed place. We loved exploring this beautiful park. We came here on a Friday morning and the place was busy even then. We walked to this park from the Roma neighborhood, which you can easily do so, as it was only a 20-minute walk. The park has a lot to see, from open fields, to shaded areas with plenty of trees or playgrounds and street vendors, and the can't-miss museums, there's something for everyone here. Bring cash for the bathrooms, as there is no free public restroom. Water fountains were also hard to find around here. We noticed that they have stations of bikes for rent throughout the park since it's so large. There was also an area for food. I loved seeing how lush and spacious this park was. It's a definite must if you're visiting Mexico City.

    We originally planned to see the Castle, but the line to get in on a beautiful Sunday morning was astronomically long.

    Wow Parque Mexico really is impressive. This park is located very close to our Airbnb in Condesa so…read morewe walked in the park a few times this past week. My 2 most favorite things about this park is seeing so many dogs. As a dog lover (and also of one who recently just lost her little girl dog 2 months ago), it was so nice to see so many dogs because they always bring me so much joy when I see them. Most of the locals walking their dogs walked their pups off leash. And for the most part, their dogs were all very well behaved and always stayed close to their owners. But there were also some people who also walked their dogs on leash. The other thing that I loved the most about this park was that there are so many trees that really keep this park very nice and cool because of all the shade throughout this large park. It really does encourage people to come out and walk and do some exercise, which I really love. At this park were a few different playground areas and also a very large pond with ducks. There are also vendors selling items, food, etc throughout the park. There is also a restroom if you need to use it, which cost $5 MXN or $0.29 USD (it is common to pay to use the toilet in Mexico but be aware that it is common for there to be no toilet paper, sometimes no toilet seats.... yes the actual seat, and hand soap. But usually restaurants, grocery stores and museums do not charge to use their toilet). This park is surrounded with a lot of restaurants, coffee shops and apartment buildings. For the most part, it is a pretty kid friendly and dog friendly park that felt safe to visit the days and nights we came by to walk. If I lived here, I would definitely be a regular.

    The park has a great mix of open areas, walking paths, and shaded spots that makes it for a good…read morecasual stroll. It's also dog friendly, so you will see a lot of people enjoying the space with their pets.
