# Where to stay in Mexico City with kids Written 2026-10-27 by Play Day. Family hotels in Mexico City by neighborhood: a kids' club and a 38th-floor pool on Reforma, Polanco by the zoo, small hotels by the Condesa playgrounds, and the Centro by the Zócalo. Mexico City is as much fun for parents as it is for kids, and these hotels work for both. ## Which neighborhood Polanco and the Chapultepec end of Reforma put you next to the park. The [zoo](https://ourplayday.com/places/zoologico-de-chapultepec-mexico-city) and the Anthropology Museum are under a kilometer from the JW Marriott and the Hyatt, and [Chapultepec Castle](https://ourplayday.com/places/museo-nacional-de-historia-castillo-de-chapultepec-mexico-city) is about a kilometer from the towers on Reforma. Most of the kids' programs are at the big hotels here. In Condesa, [Parque México](https://ourplayday.com/places/parque-mexico-mexico-city) has a play area and a pond with ducks, and [Parque España](https://ourplayday.com/places/parque-espana-mexico-city) has another playground and a children's library.
