There are many things you can do with your kids when it comes to activities for children. Children are full of energy and seek out new experiences. No matter what age, Campeche has something for everyone. Check out some of these activities:
Casa No.6
Casa No.6 is a fun, affordable hotel with family-friendly amenities. It is located in the historic downtown area of Campeche. It is located within a block of the Malecon beach, close to the cathedral, and the town’s main museums. The famous Calakmul jade mask is also within walking distance from the hotel.
Campeche Mansion
The main square is a bustling center of life, filled with locals and shops. Across the plaza, you can find the city’s cathedral, with its brightly tiled floors and multiple depictions of Mary in stained glass windows. The San Roman Church is home to a black Christ, and there are several legends about his origin.
State Museum of Anthropology
The State Museum of Anthropology in Campeche is undergoing a major renovation project. The museum is currently restoring an impressive stucco fresco that once graced a Campeche temple. The monumental stucco frieze, known as El Friso de Placeres, is approximately eight tons tall and was pillaged more than 60 years ago.
59th Street
The 59th Street in Campeche has many attractions for families to enjoy. This stretch of street links the Puerta de Tierra and Puerta del Mar and includes bars, terraces and improvised tracks. It is a great spot to people-watch and is near some of the most beautiful archaeological sites in the city. Campeche is home more than 2 000 archeological sites, 16 of which are open to the public.
Puerta de la Tierra

Nearby, Parque de Moch Couoh, an urban park with concrete pathways that houses tropical plants, is also available.
