Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Balloon Rides (in San Martin de las Piramides), San Juan Teotihuacan (Teotihuacan Pyramids, Museo Manuel Gamio Centro de Estudios Teotihuacanos, &more) and Cuernavaca (Palacio de Cortes, Robert Brady Museum, &more). Pack the 8th (Sat) with family-friendly diversions at Granja Las Americas. There's much more to do: get a new perspective on nature at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, make a trip to Zocalo, contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and take a peaceful walk through Bosque de Chapultepec.
