The Bosque de Chapultepec ("Chapultepec Woods", "Chapultepec Park") is a large park (covering 1,600 acres (6 km²) of land) in the west of Mexico City, at one end of the Paseo de la Reforma.
It is a major recreational attraction for citizens of, and tourists to, the Federal District of Mexico City, containing woodland, lakes, springs, outdoor cafés, Chapultepec Zoo, an amusement park (La Feria), the National Auditorium (a major concert venue) and historic buildings such as Chapultepec Castle.
Chapultepec Castle atop the hill is the National Museum of History. The park also includes the National Auditorium, lots of other museums, including the Modern Art Museum, the Tamayo Contemporary Art Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Papalote Children's Museum and the large National Museum of Anthropology and History with perhaps the world's finest collection of Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican art and artifacts.
