Six Flags México

Set within a wooded park in the hills at the city's southern edge, this large amusement park is among the most popular family attractions in central Mexico. Its landscaped grounds hold roller coasters, water rides and themed areas spread across steep terrain that gives many attractions dramatic drops. Seasonal festivals for Halloween and the winter holidays draw big crowds each year. The forested setting of Ajusco, cooler and greener than the city below, distinguishes it from flatter parks and provides shade along its winding paths.
