Donde Pachuca esconde su debilidad por los políticos israelíes y las bancas con personalidad.
David Ben-Gurion Park is a public square and is open 24 hours a day, every day of the week, so you can visit whenever it suits you. It is located in a central area of Pachuca, Hidalgo, and is easily accessible by car, taxi, or public transportation. You can use map apps to get there, or search for it directly on Google Maps as 'David Ben-Gurion Park, Pachuca'.
Great news! Entry to David Ben-Gurion Park is completely free, as it is a public space. You can enjoy its attractions, such as the Monumental Clock and El Rehilete Museum (the latter does charge admission), without paying to access the park itself.
For a relaxed visit, exploring its green areas, admiring the Monumental Clock (without going inside), and taking a few photos, we would recommend setting aside between 1 and 2 hours. If you plan to visit El Rehilete Museum, you should add at least another 2 to 3 hours for that tour.
David Ben-Gurion Park is part of a larger urban complex known as the 'City of Knowledge and Culture,' and its name pays tribute to Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, as a symbol of friendship between Mexico and Israel. Nearby Juárez Plaza is an important civic center of the city. Together, they represent a space for gathering, culture, and leisure for the people of Pachuca and its visitors.
To avoid crowds and the midday heat, we suggest visiting the park early in the morning or at sunset. Weekends tend to be busier. As for the best time of year, spring and autumn offer more pleasant weather in Pachuca for walking outdoors.
Yes, the park is designed to be inclusive. It has wide sidewalks and suitable ramps to make access easier for people using wheelchairs or with reduced mobility in most areas. However, it is always advisable to watch out for minor uneven surfaces or cobblestone areas that may present a challenge.
Absolutely! Right next to the park is the must-see El Rehilete Museum, an interactive science and technology museum ideal for the whole family. Also, a short distance away, you can visit the famous Monumental Clock of Pachuca in the city center or explore the historic center with its beautiful streets and buildings.
I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and, if you visit during the day, a cap or hat and sunscreen, since some areas have little shade. Do not forget your camera to capture the beautiful murals and the atmosphere of the place. If you plan to use the restrooms, keep in mind that they may be more available in nearby buildings, such as the museum.
