Hello friends!! we are very excited to have you all come back to Mexico City but this time with kids 🤪

We put together this page to help everyone plan accordingly and give everyone the info needed while there. You can find map links, museum web page links, and fun facts✨ . If there is anything you would like to add to this itinerary please send over the info and we will add it. 

NOTHING IS SET IN STONE. We want to plan 1 big thing per day and wing the rest of the day. We know all families have different needs so we do not want to overwhelm anyone.

There are plenty of things we can do by the house after planned day trips. We have the Parque de Mexico, cafes, shopping, bars, restaurants, and good old-fashioned TV 😉

The closest grocery is called Walmart Express, but is nothing like the massive Walmarts in US, is more like a small super market with a limited selection of products, including: food, shampoo, crayons, booze (essentials 🤪) etc.

Great Whiskey selection, beer on tap, the whole comfort zone in a bar... but we can always go to a Mexican Cantina one block away to grab some straight Tequila shots. 


**Review:**
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️8 months ago
•November 2023• an upscale whiskey bar where the prices reflect the beautiful interior. One of the nicest bars I’ve ever been in but make sure to bring lots of cash cause this place ain’t cheap.
