Pyramids, Chapultepec (Park, Castle, etc), Reforma, Museo del Nino, Coyoacán, Zocalo, Museo de Arte Popular, Xochimilco (trajineras). Markets (Such as La Ciudadela), Bellas Artes, las Luchas, Turibus, There's so so many museums, so it kinda depends on the ages and what you are all into.

There's free walking tours. Depending on the age of the kids the museum of anthropology. Also there's a museum near the zocalo, they are unearthing Aztec ruins under the cathedral. The nearby pyramids. Teotihuacan. xochimilco is good fun. Boats through the canals listening to musicians who play for a fee.

Folkloric ballet, although its way less expensive in other Mexican cities, here you get to see the theatre. Bellas Artes.

When you’re walking around the zocalo, there are cut-outs or portals where historical items have been exposed and left to view. So cool.

100 per cent take the kids to see the luchadors at Arena Mexico, it’s a highlight of my 7 year old nephews life (he went at 5 and 7). Chapultepec Park, Parque Mexico, and Xochimilco so beautiful! Take them to some fun markets. La cuidadela, roma market, wander through Roma and condesa... get churros at El Moro, and handmade ice cream at La Nevería Roxy.
