Chapultepec Reviews
  May 22, 2007
Chapultepec is really one of the must see places in Mexico City. It is a huge park that has one hill that has the Castle. The castle is now the National museum of history and if you arrive before they open(9am), maybe you can get in for free just like we did. Also in the park you can find several monuments, the museum of modern art, a zoo that is allegedly the most important in lantinamerica and the lake.
Just outside the chapultepec park you find the National Museum of Antropology which is quite large. On the bottom floor you can find all sorts of pieces from the pre-hispanic cultures that inhabited Mexico, and on the top floor you can find objects from ethnic groups that still inhabit some parts of Mexico.
