Mexico - Mexico City

Chapultepec Zoo

By @nahumball

A zoo featuring nearly 2000 animals, including giant pandas and endangered species. Animals are well taken cared of and the main entrance is free.

Address: Calz. Chivatito s/n, Bosque de Chapultepec I Secc, Miguel Hidalgo, 11580 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

  • Transport

    Take Line 7 on the Metro to the Auditorio station, or use Line 1 on the Metro to the Chapultepec station. The zoo is a short walk from either.

  • Tips

    The entrance to the main zoo is completely free, but you can choose to add extra experiences for $79. The Butterfly collection is a must.

Hi, I’m Nahum, a local in CDMX sharing the city through its flavors and everyday experiences. Think sushi bars in hidden corners, cantinas with history, and the kind of spots you’d only hear about from a friend who lives here. Follow me to eat (and explore) like a local.
