Bosque los Colomos is an oasis in Guadalajara. It's a large park with trails, ponds, a Japanese…read moregarden, etc. If you go, spend at least 2 hours walking through the park shaded by tall trees. Find the small Japanese garden and the "castle." Public art decorate the park throughout. Note that dogs are NOT allowed.

Beautiful forest. It was nice listening to the birds chirping and the squirrels being so playful…read more I'm glad we got to see the Japanese garden. It was small and well maintained. Seeing the coy fish swimming around and the ducks relaxing on the grass was so serene.

We were visiting Guadalajara and stopped by to see what a children's museum is like in Mexico. I…read morelove how there are outdoor vendors with fresh foods and treats in the central courtyard. There are so many wonderful pieces to this museum. Our absolute favorite part was visiting the aquaponics garden and speaking with the woman who volunteers there. She was very kind and knowledgeable about the aquaponics system, explained how the system worked, and pointed out all of the different plants that were growing. This is someone who is making the world a better place. We found some of the interactive classes a bit odd as they are generally closed to visitors unless you sign up for a time slot to participate. I wish we would have had time to experience these. Perhaps they are worth it! There was so much to do and see at the museum. We were sad to see that some of the interactive exhibits were broken, but understand there is not enough funding to fix them. We hope that this beautiful museum will soon get the funding it deserves and the children deserve.

Pros: No charge for admission. Beautiful and large scale sized park with a pond and waterfalls…read more Very clean. Highly recommend for a family day at the park. Extra activities are very reasonably priced (government operated) and definitely fun and worth doing. Zip-lining is available. Paddle boat rental is available for $50 MXP for half and hour or so. Plenty of shaded and picnic areas. Cool "Tarzan" park for the juniors. Skatepark available at no cost. Nice jogging trail. Conveniently on the same property as the Acuario Michin (aquarium which I reviewed and posted pictures on as well). Cons: They're closed on Mondays. The junior park can get overcrowded at times with children. Sometimes there's a minimal wait for the paddle boats (good so it doesn't overcrowd the lake/pond). Went there on a Saturday afternoon in June, 2017.

A lot of options for playgrounds. Sight seeing is great, mainly ducks. We took the paddle boat for…read more80 pesos 30min, totally worth it.
