Biblioteca Palafoxiana

Festival de la Ilusion
There are many things to do in Puebla for kids. Whether you’re traveling with young children or your own, the city is sure to provide plenty of fun. The cathedral is a landmark in the city, with its tall bell towers. The interior is filled with gold, Renaissance-era art, and glimmering decor.
For those traveling with children, don’t miss the Puebla Museum. It’s located in a red building near the Templo de Santo Domingo. This building was once a women’s college in the mid-18th century, and now houses a museum dedicated to the artist’s wife. It houses pieces that range from prehispanic art to contemporary art, and it offers an insight into Mexican art’s development.
Restaurants
Mexico is a country where food is a major part of vacations. There are many great places where to eat, including the authentic poblano poboys and the delicious cemita porblana. Puebla is also home to two of the country’s most succulent dishes, mole poblano and pipian rojo.
La Casa del Mendrugo is a great place to treat your children to a fine meal. The rich Poblano cuisine at this restaurant is complemented by a large menu of regional dishes. For adults, you can also try some traditional Mexican dishes. Plus, as a restaurant guest, you can get free admission to the museum.
Museums
Puebla is a fun destination for families, and there are several museums for children to visit. There is a museum dedicated to the history of the city and several children’s museums. Sundays are free for the Regional Museum. A museum that focuses on Viena music is available for older children. There is also a traditional puppet museum. You can even ride the Estrella de Puebla, which is the largest portable ferris wheel in the world. VIP tickets are available for purchase to skip the line at the Ferris wheel.
Another museum that children will enjoy is the MUI. Located in an 18th-century building, this interactive museum features the work of students from the University of Puebla. The museum features changing exhibits on science and technology. My son was fascinated by the 3D simulation of climate change, and I was glad to help him learn about it.
