This is a great place to just hang out. There is usually something going on and if not there is a lot to see. There are a bunch of different statues and fountains to see. It is a huge area to walk around so you can for sure spend a couple hours there. There are a lot of shops and... More

This area of Monterrey is busy but it is nice to check out. Several museums on this area and a lot of people, but it is worth it.

Very nice plaza. Work was being done to it. By the looks of it there's more water fountains coming yet. No traffic, since it is all underground.

Great place to people watch, take a walk and eat street food. The fountain is , the federal palace is beautiful and the church is worth stepping into. The parking is a little pricey too!

It´s well taken care of and has many places around. The only thing I don´t like are the couples that sit or lay down on the grass. Oh and also those people that let their children play in the water fountains.

Part of the full complex of attractions together with Parque Fundidora and Paseo Santa Lucia, all of them connected. Macroplaza is a little bit dirty sometimes, specially when there is a lot of people. Here avoid to walk late in the night unless there is an special event and there is extra security personnel.
