I didn't get to explore as much or stay as long as I wanted, but everything I did see was beautiful and really enjoyable. You can rent pedal boats and ride around the lake, or just walk around and take it all in. There's also a library overlooking the pond area that's really nice to stop by. Overall, it's a great place to spend the day, and I'd definitely go back to explore more.

Bosque de Chapultepec spans 2,000 acres and is one of the largest parks in Mexico and even the…read moreworld. This place is a mix of historical landmarks, parks, and museums all in one area. This area contains the Chapultepec Castle which used to be the imperial palace and presidential residence. It also houses the Museo Nacional de Antropologia which is a historical museum of the country. It also contains the Chapultepec Zoo which is a popular and free kids attraction. We first walked through one area where we saw souvenir stalls selling trinkets like magnets and monkey hats. We then saw the lake and bridge. Then we walked to the castle base. Then we walked over to the museum to enter. Throughout the area you'll see street food and street stalls, performers, and walking paths. There's also a lake where you can rent paddle boats. If nothing else there are lots of trees so you can relax in the shade. If you're coming to Mexico City this will most likely be one of the stops you visit, and depending on what you like you could spend all day here.

They have a small greenhouse and a large area under the fruit trees where you can sit on a blanket (people were picnicking there), as well as benches under the thicker trees in the shade on the other side of the garden. The entrance I came in through was on the bosque castle side, and I went out the exit on the other side where the museum of modern art is. I was able to walk down that way easily to get to Polanco. I was a solo traveler and I love gardens so I had a very lovely time walking through and looking at the plants here.

They also had stone animal statues around. The park is walking distance to restaurants and markets as well. It's colorful and peaceful. There were lots of slides. The floor is rubber so it's less messy than the dirt playgrounds. The bad: It would be nice if the playground had more shade. The water sculpture area didn't have water. The interesting: They were repainting (green color) fixtures and benches when I came so everything smelled of paint.

It's clean and every time that I've walked thru here there are always maintenance people cleaning and fixing things. To here are a few improvements that could be made in my opinion. For example, the concrete ben he's could use a good powerwash cleaning. Also the mand-made ponds appear like they haven't been maintained in some time, as there is a lot of algae growth going on in there. Today when I rode thru there were a lot of families, and even roller blade lessons for kids!

Each winter from months November to February, thousands and thousands of monarch butterflies fly hundreds of miles to this area of Mexico. You can hike or ride a horse (I think we paid $100 pesos per person) the 3-4 mile hike to the top of the mountain where as you gradually ascend, you start to see more and more fluttering orange wings until you reach the top where the tress are literally covered in monarch butterflies, nearby bushes moving with flecks of orange and black. Stand still and done will land on your head or your arm. If you have the chance, go and see this miraculous sight of nature, it really was magical!
