Jungle Kids Insurgentes Mixcoac

What it is. An indoor play centre for children —the kind that solves a rainy afternoon or a birthday: climbing frames and tunnels, a ball pit, slides and areas separated by age, with staff supervising. Children's parties are the main business, so at weekends the place is booked in blocks.

How it works. Entry is charged per child for a set time, accompanying adults go free, and non-slip socks are usually required —bring them or buy them there. Weekday afternoons are the quietest.

Where it is. In the Mixcoac area, on the Insurgentes Sur corridor in the south of the city. Mixcoac station on metro Line 12 and San Antonio on Line 7 are nearby, and Metrobús Line 1 runs along Insurgentes. Check opening hours and availability before going, as general access is limited when a private party is on.
