Parque Fundidora: what to do and how to plan a visit

Parque Fundidora covers 144 hectares and combines green areas with the remains of a major steelworks. According to the park’s official website, it has 12 unique spaces and more than 20 million annual visitors.

There are 10 entrances around the perimeter, so choose an access point that suits the part of the park you plan to visit. The address is Av. Fundidora y Adolfo Prieto S/N, Col. Obrera, Monterrey, Nuevo León, C.P. 64010.

The park is open every day from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and entry to the park itself is free. If you’re planning a broader downtown day, the guide to how to plan a one-day Monterrey itinerary can help put the visit in context.

The park preserves the site of the former Fundidora de Fierro y Acero de Monterrey steelworks, including 16 historic buildings. Its blast furnace is described by the park as the only one in the world open to the public.

The Museo de Sitio de Arqueología Industrial Parque Fundidora was designated a site museum on February 24, 2001. For time outside the industrial structures, the park has 80 hectares of green areas and a 3.4-kilometer bike path.

Paseo Santa Lucía links the park with Macroplaza through a 2.5-kilometer navigable artificial river. You can reach Parque Fundidora on foot or by boat along the route; the companion guide to planning a Paseo Santa Lucía visit covers the route and boat rides.

Park admission is free, but some venues and activities have their own schedules and fees. Horno 3, the Ice Rink and Casa de los Loros are among the attractions with separate arrangements, as are Paseo Santa Lucía boat rides.

The Splash Zone is free. Schedules and access conditions can vary by attraction, so check the official site before you go.
