Surprisingly - at least to me - Mexico City is a very kid friendly city. There are lots of things to do with children and people don't look funny at you on nice restaurants if your kids are being loud.
There is a Zoo in Chapultepec park that's very nice and the park is also a great place for the kids. It has two lakes and a very nice restaurant. The park seemed very safe. And also dog friendly. There is also a Zoo Safari about an hour and a half drive from Mexico City, near the ruins that's nice.
Closer to the city there is a Six Flags with some sea animals where you can swim with the dolphins. We did it as a family and it was a great experience. The trainers spoke english and were extremely nice. The kids wanted to go back there everyday.
In Santa Fe there is a mall called "Centro Comercial" that has movie theaters, and arcade and Ciudad de Los Ninos. Ciudad the Los Ninos is amazing! The kids had a great time there playing and learning. They even made me a burger at McDonalds!
The food is also excellent there and you can find food from all over the world. Mexican food was, of course, delicious. We also went to restaurants with food from the following countries: Italy, France, Argentina, China and Japan. There are also lots of american chains there - TGI Friday's, Rainforest Cafe,
California Pizza Kitchen, Pizza Hut, Strbucks, Coldstone Creamery and more. Oh, and the cereal isle at the supermarket!! What an improvement from Sao Paulo!! I felt like I was back in the US.
Did I mention there's also a Saks Fifth Avenue?? For those of us who have been living abroad for a while This is great!!
I know there is a lot more to do with kids in Mexico City and we can not wait to have more time to explore.
