Nezahualcóyotl: Zoo, Park, and Recreational Activities

Nezahualcóyotl offers a range of recreational interests for visitors: wildlife and an aquarium at the Zoológico del Parque del Pueblo, relaxation at Parque del Pueblo, and physical activities in the central zone. The offerings differ in theme and format. If you are looking for a hotel in Nezahualcóyotl, you can first consider whether you would like to include a zoo and park visit or a physical activity in your travel plans. For activities with set times, check the schedule in advance.

Zoo and Aquarium at Parque del Pueblo

More than 185 specimens of birds, mammals, and other animal species live across an area of more than one hectare at the Zoológico del Parque del Pueblo. The zoo also has an aquarium and an interactive farm with domestic animals. Several themes are represented: the animal groups, the aquarium, and the farm animals. When planning your visit, you can consider which of these features interests you most. Renovation work may affect access to the zoo; take this possibility into account when planning.

Relaxation at Parque del Pueblo

Parque del Pueblo combines the preservation of the zoo and tree cover with recreation by a lake, a small train, and a kiosk. The park brings together two interests: preserving the zoo and tree cover, and specific recreational amenities. When planning, you can decide whether to focus on the animals and trees or instead on the lake, small train, and kiosk. These choices describe different aspects of the park, not a set order for your visit.

Physical Activities in the Central Zone

At Echando Pata Sobre Ruedas in the central zone, residents can participate by bicycle, on roller skates, on a tricycle, on a skateboard, or on foot. The activity is not limited to bicycles: other wheeled forms of transport and walking are also among the options listed. If you would like to include the activity in your stay, check the schedule in advance, as dates may change. The different ways to participate and the timing are two separate points to consider when planning.

Zumba at the Palacio Municipal

Zumba classes at the Palacio Municipal de Nezahualcóyotl are listed for Sundays from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. and Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Both time slots are one hour long: one is on Sunday morning, and the others are on two afternoons. Exact times may change, so check the schedule before your visit. Compared with Echando Pata Sobre Ruedas, the listed times are the main consideration for Zumba, while the other activity offers several ways to get around.
