Cuicuilco Archaeological Zone
Interesting circular temple, different from the usual!
The site was free when we went (Saturday) and has a small if slightly aged museum. Signage has some English translation around the site, but Spanish only in the museum.
If you are nearby it’s great to drop in, otherwise I wouldn’t make the trip unless you are a die hard temple collector!

Loreto Fort Museum
Little way out of the city centre, but worth a visit.
Really places the city in context with the historical events, war of independence, French war, revolution etc and most of all the events of Cinco de Mayo.
Not a lot of English signage, but entrance fee is cheap compared to more popular tourist sites and it still takes a good hour to go around and see everything properly. Less than half an hour probably if you skip all the signage. Once you are done with the fort the park to the south is nice to wander through and there are likely ice cream vendors on hand!
