The block universe jumps from the screen to reality with an immersive adventure designed to rescue villagers in danger. Attendees traverse three distinct biomes via massive projections, where they must chop down trees, gather resources, and use an “Interaction Orb” to activate portals and defend themselves against creepers, skeletons, and spiders in an arcade-style mine.
The mission, which lasts approximately one hour, rewards players with an exclusive limited-edition cape for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, a digital item that cannot be obtained any other way. It’s the ultimate plan for Children’s Day, as it allows fans to hang out in the exchange area and purchase official merchandise after completing the rescue operation.
The National Center for the Arts presents a two-act operatic adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s classic. Directed by Irene Burgos and produced by “Érase una vez… producciones,” this production translates the adventures of the wooden puppet into a language designed to captivate children.
The event takes advantage of Children’s Day celebrations and the Labor Day long weekend to offer a high-quality cultural experience.
The Franz Mayer Museum is going into literary cosplay mode to close out Book Month with “Once Upon a Time… Costume at the Franz.” The idea is simple: pull your best outfit inspired by your favorite books out of the closet and take advantage of the 2-for-1 deal. It’s not just for the photo; there will be a costume contest, workshops, and even a scavenger hunt so you can explore the exhibitions with fresh eyes (or a wig).
The schedule includes a book swap to refresh your bookshelf and, to unlock maximum nostalgia, a collaboration with Canal Once to get your Bizbirije pass. Between poetry readings and guided tours of exhibitions like Oficios de la tinta, it’s the perfect plan to stop being a passive reader and become the star of the night.

Dinosaur-themed sleepover
The Tezozómoc Museum celebrates Children’s Day with “Jurassic Experience,” an event that transforms its facilities into a paleontological camp. The program combines science outreach and entertainment, allowing attendees to come in pajamas or costumes to participate in night tours and prehistoric mask-making workshops.
The educational offerings from the Azcapotzalco City Council include a footprint-tracking activity for the little ones and a 3D screening of the film Walking with Dinosaurs. As this is an activity part of Museum Night, admission is on a first-come, first-served basis until each room reaches capacity, which varies between 20 and 80 people depending on the activity.
The Luis Enrique Erro Planetarium is switching to astronomical mode for Museum Night with an event dedicated exclusively to our natural satellite. In collaboration with the Ticomán Astronomical Society and Skyshop, the venue will feature telescopes and specialized equipment for observations that will allow visitors to explore craters and details of the lunar landscape from the northern part of the city.
The experience complements the observation with educational workshops designed to help participants understand the Moon’s impact on Earth and the milestones of its historical exploration. As this is a free event with high demand, the “insider” tip is to arrive early to secure a spot in the activities and access to the observation equipment before capacity is reached.
Latin America’s first hologram zoo arrives in Mexico City with Australian technology so that children can see “the impossible.” Unlike a traditional zoo, here the animals appear as life-size immersive projections, allowing visitors to walk alongside Jurassic dinosaurs, African elephants, and even a giant whale floating in the air—all without the need for cumbersome glasses.
It’s a perfect tech safari for Children’s Day, as it divides the adventure into biomes like Africa and the Arctic, where you can even see hippos swimming underwater. The experience is fully accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, operating in scheduled groups to ensure safe and smooth interaction with the holograms.

The Little Prince-themed aroma tasting
The Perfume Museum (MUPE) transforms Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s narrative into a sensory experience that uses fragrances as a common thread. The tasting offers a journey through the book’s key moments, from the encounter with the fox to the landscapes of the various planets, assigning a specific scent to each stage of The Little Prince’s journey.
It’s the perfect way to celebrate Children’s Month interactively, putting screens aside to test your sense of smell. The experience invites you to close your eyes and guess which planet you’re visiting based on the scent in the air. We recommend arriving early at the ticket booth, as groups are small.
The universe of this series comes to life in an interactive adventure where families step out of the role of spectators to become protagonists.

The experience is fully inclusive and features trained staff to guide young explorers through the clues, ensuring that every corner of the house is an opportunity for discovery.

The event consists of a 2.8-kilometer closed circuit that begins and ends at the Monument’s esplanade, allowing the use of bicycles, tricycles, roller skates, or skateboards.
To participate, minors must wear a helmet and full protective gear, and must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
