Also, Viveros de Coyoacán has the widest variety of squirrels I've ever experienced. Like seriously, I thought Google Maps was joking, but there were black, brown, red squirrels, I don't even know. They scurried up and down trees like ants. It was insane. Check out the cactus, hedge-lined paths, and open spaces. The park is impressively clean, and I'm actually learning a ton about this place through other Yelp reviews. Apparently it's a tree nursery to reforest the city. Come here for some quiet time, whether a few minutes or a few hours. Take a break from all the hubbub, and kick it with the squirrels.

We wandered through Viveros de Coyoacan - a public park in Coyoacan - when we were exploring the…read morearea. It's a nice park - definitely would be great for locals who want a place to run, walk, or exercise (we saw a lot of runners in Viveros)! It's not as great of a park for tourists to explore (unlike more touristy parks - with gorgeous fountains and memorials), but it's a pretty place for a walk. We figured it was a nicer walk to go through the park to get from the center of Coyoacan to the metro station, but you can't exit wherever you like (there are certain entrance/exit points to the park). A nice place for a walk though!

We entered a church, had lunch in the area and did some shopping. Doc bought a bracelet I liked from a vendor and a T-shirt from a man across the street from the museum for me. I bought some bracelets and pouches from a man on the street. He could speak English and said his family was Aztec. He made the bracelets and his grandmother made the pouches. Many locals with their dogs and tourists were enjoying the nice warm weather. We saw people being blessed with special smoke or sage. Many shops and eateries on nice streets. There was one two story restaurant that looked very pretty and romantic with couples eating on the outdoor balcony.

Fun, lively area! Came on a Sunday and there were tons of people outs and about…read more Pros: -many restaurants to choose from -vendors galore where you can buy souvenirs -there are a few free Wi-Fi spots in this area -we saw performers dancing near the church Cons: -none

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.

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.

The good: My kids really enjoyed this playground. It's…read moremassive and the structures all connect to one another. There were swings that allowed two kids to swing together. 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.

If I ever move to Mexico, Coyoacàn is one of my top 5 choices…read more I absolutely loved everything about Parque Hidalgo. The park is surrounded with beautiful historic buildings, a church, famous coffee shops, ice-cream shops, and restaurants. Within the park you'll see little historic facts about it. A few years ago, the market stands were right in the park, but to avoid the abundance amount of people in one place, those stands have been moved. It was a great idea, so anyone who wants to buy souvenirs can go to the 2 floor building and spend time there. It gives those enjoying the park more free room to breathe. Being in Coyoacàn made me forget that the city was 20 minutes away. It was a lovely place to sit back and relax. Or you can observe the people dancing, playing music, or doing magic tricks. There's always something going on! I fell in love with Coyo

The park contains the statue to the Mexican hero, Hidalgo, and some fountains with coyotes in them. The area is landscaped nicely, with tall, tropical shrubs and shady trees. There are lots of places to sit, and watch the crowd go by. If you show up on Saturday evenings, they have a big street party where performers show up, and have puppet shows, magic tricks, jokes, and other performances. There's lots of vendors here, selling cheap handicrafts. Their prices are low, but better quality crafts can be found in the adjacent artisans' market. There's lots of great places here to hang out and relax- the fountains shoot off jets of water across statues to coyotes, and give a much needed, rejuvenating lift in the hot Mexican sun. You're not going to get hungry here - the plaza is surrounded by restaurants. The building at the end of the park is where Cortez set up his first provisional government when he invaded Tenochtitlan. It's now a place that looks out for the Coyoacan neighborhood. The Parroquia de San Juan Bautista overlooks the park, and is a beautiful church to check out. They were having a wedding during one of my visits!
