Chapultepec Park

If I were to go to Chapultepec Park I would want to vist the zoo to see all the animals. I would also love being in the amusement park and ride rides because I like doing stuff like that. I love to ride roller coasters and other scary rides. I would also like being in with all the trees and the forest because there would be alot of oxygen around! Oxygen is good for the body with out it you would die. I would want to go in the boats out on the river or lake and just pedal around in the pedal boats.
