Best places: Botanical gardens in Mexico

Set across from a pre-Hispanic pyramid, this landscaped garden is home to cacti, figs & lime trees.

👍👍 Can't get enough of this place. We don't have a park like this in CDMX. Palm trees, lawns, paths and a circuit for jogging or walking with a stopwatch and distance markings. A refuge in what is an otherwise rather uninteresting town.

10-hectare botanical garden with many plant species from around the world, workshops & guided tours.

Focusing on native Mexican plants, this large botanical garden features a notable orchid collection.

👍👍 It was an outstanding experience! You get immersed in a paradise full of ancient xerophiles! Please do a guided tour, you won’t regret it, the guides are part of the community and they do a great effort to teach you and entertain you.

Popular zoo featuring a wide range of animals, plus shows, train tours of the park & an aquarium.

A unique stained-glass mural wraps around this botanical garden with native & exotic plant species.

Huge surrealist sculptures & structures in the jungle created by 20th-c. art patron Edward James.

Cacti & chili plant displays, plus rare orchids in an ornate glasshouse with a stained-glass roof.

👍👍 It is very well designed garden. It needs more upkeep and labeling but fun to walk around and observe the surrounding. it is free to enter and has a small shop in it for souvenirs. There is no food near by so eat before you arrive.

Recreational area around a towering cascade, with pools & paths in a rocky forest setting.

👍👍 Beautiful view, an excellent tour in addition to caring for nature

Garden decorated with statues, featuring butterflies, bonsai plants & a large orchid collection.

😠 March 2022 still closed to the public. Very annoying none of the online information has been updated. No reason for a free outside space to be closed due to COVID.

👍👍 420 friendly square that I happened to be across from the hotel where I was staying haha. The day I first discovered it, there was a cool reggae festival situation going on. Police were present but there were no issues from them. Overall the vibes were chill and friendly. It also seems to be a safe...

Natural preserve with a big cactus collection & other indigenous flora, including endangered plants.

👍👍 Awesome

👍👍 Nice little place to see beautiful plants. You can buy plants. They have a recycling center, a small restaurant, a gift shop and a store where they sell natural beauty products.
