Layout

The Mexico Pavilion resembles a
Mesoamerican pyramid
with steps leading to entrance doors. Visitors enter through a gallery display of Mexican artwork, the "Animales Fantasticos" art collection. The central indoor area of the pavilion is themed as an outdoor twilight-lit Mexican village and marketplace, Plaza de los Amigos. At the edge of the plaza, a restaurant, San Angel Inn Restaurante, overlooks an indoor lagoon with a themed backdrop of another pyramid and a smoldering volcano in the distance with themed lighting and smoke effects. To the side of the plaza, a boarding area leads to a boat ride,
Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros
, which commences in the indoor lagoon area.
Due to the location and height of the outdoor structure of the pavilion, the nightly fireworks shows are controlled from a small technical office on top-of the building.
