Best Time to Visit

Weekends tend to be the most lively, especially with the food stalls serving up traditional Mexican snacks, but weekdays can be a lot calmer if you’re looking for a quieter experience. Mornings are usually the best time to arrive because the animals are more active, and the sun isn’t too harsh yet. If you’re planning a school trip or a larger group outing, booking during the week often means more space to move around and a less rushed pace. Weather-wise, the cooler months make the forest walk and outdoor areas much more comfortable, though kids never seem to mind running around in the heat. Personally, I’d avoid rainy season afternoons, since muddy shoes can quickly turn into a parent’s headache.

How to Get There

The farm is located in Naucalpan de Juárez, within easy reach of Mexico City. Most visitors choose to drive, and valet parking is available on-site, which makes things a bit easier if you’re juggling strollers, snacks, and excited kids. Public transportation is possible but not the most convenient option, especially if you’re carrying supplies for a family outing. Honestly, the simplest way is to drive or share a ride with friends—it turns the journey into part of the adventure. Just keep in mind that traffic in and out of the city can be unpredictable, so giving yourself extra time is always a smart move.

Tips for Visiting

Bring cash. While the world is moving digital, small local spots like this often still rely on cash for food and extras. Comfortable shoes are a must, especially if you’re planning to walk the forest trail or keep up with kids running between activities. Sunscreen and hats go a long way, even if you think you’ll stay in the shade. And don’t forget water bottles—kids somehow get thirstier the moment they see a playground.

If you’re going on a weekend, arrive early to avoid waiting in line for activities like horseback riding. And since reservations are required, make sure to confirm your spot ahead of time; it saves you from any last-minute stress. Parents with toddlers might want to pack an extra change of clothes because, well, farm visits and clean clothes rarely go hand in hand.

One last thing: take the time to slow down and actually enjoy the experience. It’s easy to get caught up in rushing from one activity to the next, but some of the best moments here are the simple ones—watching your child feed a goat for the first time, or sitting down together to share a warm gordita after a morning of exploring. Those are the memories that stick.
