The zoo in Chapultepec Park date back about 500 years
The zoo may have already been established under the ruler Nezahualcóyotl before the Spaniards arrived; it may quite possibly be the first zoo in the world. The zoo was the first outside China to raise a giant panda, a quite remarkable accomplishment. There are about 2,000 animal species here. Children are sure to like the animals, as well as the pony rides, train rides and rowing boats.
