Where to go with family. Family activities for parents and children - what to do together in your free time? Interactive museum "Lunarium"

It is coming to an end, and with the approach of the weekend, the question of how to spend the long-awaited days of rest increasingly arises. For those who do not want, as they say, to lie in front of the TV all their free time, but have firmly decided to visit various interesting places, Moscow is ready to offer a lot of options.

Let's try to get to know some of them better.

Section 1. Where to go for free

Do not despair if your family's budget is limited. Despite the fact that the capital of Russia is considered one of the most expensive cities in the world, there are enough places where you can relax cheaply or even for free. Surprisingly, such leisure can include visits to museums, theaters, concerts, discos and yoga classes.

Many Muscovites and guests of the city believe that the most interesting places to walk are parks. First of all, these include Babushkinsky, Perovsky, Kuzminsky, Tagansky, Izmailovsky, Tushinsky, Filevsky, Krasnopresnensky, as well as Baumansky Garden, Muzeon and the Hermitage Garden.

By the way, in Gorky Park and in the Pioneer cinema you can do yoga on weekdays. Not everyone knows that all sites are equipped with locker rooms, and those who wish are given mats.

Free dance lessons are held in Gorky Park. There are also many nightly youth discos with free entry. Weekends can be spent at Squat Café, Bilinqua or Cuba Libre.

Section 2. Cultural events for free? This is real!


Talking about the most interesting places in Moscow, one cannot but mention the numerous exhibitions and museums. It should be noted that every third Sunday of the month the best museums of the city open their doors to visitors for free. In addition, the Water Museum, the Metro Museum, the Museum and the Museum of Light are glad to see their guests every day. They are also open to the public.

The Moscow Event Theater on Varshavskoye Shosse offers to watch performances for free. If you liked the performance, then you can pay for a ticket an amount from 100 to 500 rubles. True, you should pay attention to the fact that you need to book seats in advance by phone or on the theater website.

Do you love classics and are looking for interesting places? Moscow is just the city where connoisseurs of beauty should go. For example, you can enjoy the music of famous world composers in the Rachmaninov and Small Halls of the Moscow Conservatory. Free performances of the chamber ensemble and choir, international festivals, concerts of organ music, violin and piano are constantly held here.

You can see the panorama of Moscow on Sparrow Hills, where survey binoculars are issued for this purpose. The capital is also rich in other attractions: temples and monasteries, nature reserves and ancient estates.

Excursions to these places do not require special expenses.

Section 3. Zoos of Moscow

All kids love to watch animals. That is why, when talking about interesting places, one cannot fail to mention zoos.

Many will agree that this is the perfect place to family vacation. Contact zoos will allow the children to get to know the animals better. Here you can stroke and feed them, and while children communicate with charming representatives of the world of fauna, adults can relax or have a snack. Zoos "My little world" on the street. Tushinskaya and "Animals as toys" on Novoyasenevsky prospect welcome their guests of any age.

A special pride of Moscow is the Moscow State Zoo, on the territory of which various species of animals and birds are kept. This is the oldest and largest zoo in Russia.

Section 4. Water parks of the capital

There is an opinion that there are the most, which means that getting to them is not quite, to put it mildly, convenient. This is nothing more than a delusion. For example, those who live in more remote areas are probably closer to the huge entertainment complexes, which, as practice shows, are rarely built inside the Garden Ring.

For example, the largest water park is "Moreon" in Yasenevo. The complex is equipped with extreme slides, a swimming pool and a playground, massage baths and steam rooms, cafes and bars. The pools are surrounded by tropical plants and palm trees. Another water park "Kva-Kva" is no less attractive. There are also water slopes of various heights, children's attractions and pools, water cannons and a jacuzzi. On Saturdays, Kva-Kva (Mytishchi) hosts night parties of the Shine project.

The Aqua Yuna water park with a new attraction for surfing was opened 8 km from Moscow. The park is divided into children's and adult zones. In total, there are 9 slides from 2 to 10 meters high, some of them have downhill.

Section 5. Interesting and its theaters

In the center of the Russian capital there is the only anti-cinema "Kino House" with closed halls, karaoke and video games. This is an unusual place - in the halls there are cozy sofas, board games, karaoke, 3D. The romantic atmosphere in small rooms is conducive to dates, and in large rooms you can spend time with friends.

The performances are reminiscent of a black and white cartoon. The silhouettes on the canvas seem to come to life and simply fascinate the audience with their play. Special transforming chairs allow you to watch the production from any corner of the hall. Children will simply be delighted with visiting this institution.

The famous Yury Kuklachev Cat Theater pleases the audience with the performances of their pets. A unique world of kindness and warmth reigns here, cats perform with dogs, and an adult feels like a child.

Section 6. Conquering the depths of the sea

Many will agree that you can endlessly talk about interesting places in Moscow. "Where to go?" - such a question in this city, perhaps, is asked extremely rarely. More often, local residents and guests of the capital are trying to solve the problem associated with the lack of time in order to cover everything they want.

For example, why not admire the beauty of the underwater world in the aquarium on Chistoprudny Boulevard, 14? The exposition consists of more than 200 aquarium complexes, where various species of fish and sharks live. The store provides a wide range of aquariums and equipment for it. Visiting the aquarium takes place daily by appointment. The Shark Feeding Show is held twice a week.

The largest Oceanarium is located on Dmitrovskoye Highway, where you can watch the underwater life of the inhabitants inside the tunnel. Representatives of flora and fauna from all over the planet are gathered here. Visitors can become spectators of a colorful fur seal show or shark feeding.

If you want to swim with dolphins, then feel free to go to the dolphinarium at the All-Russian Exhibition Center. Pleasure is not cheap (5000-10000 rubles), but emotions for life. The cost of the dolphin show is 400-1200 rubles, depending on the location. After the performance, you can take a picture with or ride a child on a boat "drawn" by dolphins.

Section 7. For lovers of the stars

The Big Planetarium is one of the best planetariums in the world, which is not only an educational center, but also a stellar theater where you can take a tour through time and space.

The complex includes the Urania Museum, the Lunarium Museum, the Sky Park, the Large and Small Star Halls. Interactive and space exhibits, educational games and 4D films let you learn about space and space discoveries.

Section 8. Winter fun


In winter, the oldest skating rink with two skating rinks operates in the Hermitage Garden. For the convenience of visitors, the following are provided:
  • school of figure skating;
  • children's Corner;
  • locker rooms;
  • skate rental;
  • Cafe.

Another skating rink is open near GUMA from 10:00 to 24:00 in winter. Its ice cover does not melt even in +10˚C weather, and evening lighting creates a special fairy-tale atmosphere.

So, after reviewing the list of proposed options, it is quite possible to conclude that Moscow is ready to offer interesting places for every taste and wealth. And all that is needed for visitors is to tune in a positive way and be ready to be surprised.

On the eve of weekends, holidays, winter, autumn and all parents are worried about where to go with the child. Many make small trips to Moscow to acquaint children with the sights of our capital. Finding where to go with a child in Moscow is not so difficult, the capital offers an extensive list of interesting places.

Museum of Soviet slot machines
Kuznetsky most, 12

Read about "original" things a la the Kremlin and the Tretyakov Gallery in boring guidebooks. We have only such places that few people have heard of. Let's start with the museum of Soviet slot machines. The exposition is a hodgepodge of gaming machines produced in the Union from 1971 to 1991. Nostalgia is expensive these days. You will have to pay 450 rubles for the entrance ticket. The price includes an excursion and the opportunity to play on 15 slot machines. However, it's worth it. Go! Firstly, give genuine pleasure to your parents, and secondly, you will understand that "Magistral", "Sea Battle", "Gorodki", "Avtoralli-M" are by no means soulless pieces of iron, but real friends of a person. Much friendlier than iPhones and iPads.

Museum of Optical Illusions
Maly Nikolopeskovsky lane, 4

We go further and stumble upon a museum of optical illusions, located in one of the lanes of the Arbat. And here, without iPhones, iPads, good cameras, there is nothing to do. Only a photograph will allow you to see yourself on top of a television tower, see your portrait on a dollar bill, meet Dmitry Medvedev in an elevator, and also walk a lion, sail on the Titanic, escape (or not escape) from crocodiles. In a word, if you have loaded the camera and have not laughed with collective family laughter for a long time, you are on your way to Maly Nikolopeskovsky Lane.

Museum of the USSR
VVC, 2nd pavilion

Continuing the theme of non-standard museums, let's not forget to look into one more. We are talking about the second pavilion of the All-Russian Exhibition Center, where the USSR Museum is located. Of course, it would be worth visiting here on the eve of the history exam, but even on holidays, vacations and weekends, refreshing knowledge about the giant state will not hurt either you or your moms and dads. Soviet cars, televisions and cameras, movie posters and propaganda posters, soft toys and food stamps. Be careful - here, they say, there are even alcoholic drinks. Which? And why? Come down and find out.

Submarine Museum
st. Freedom, pp. 50-56

If you are a son, not a daughter, feel free to grab your father and take him to the Skhodnenskaya metro station. A submarine is based nearby. Real! From 1980 to 1998, she served in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and in 2003 she was solemnly launched as a museum. There is a desire to feel like one of the heroes of the film "72 meters" or dreamed of becoming an admiral - everyone here favors this.

Museum of Culinary Arts
Bolshoy Rogozhsky lane, 17, building 1

Well, if you are a daughter, and the family is already starting to talk to you about the wedding, it's time to invite your mother to the museum of culinary arts. The exposition is housed in a luxurious old mansion, which, of course, adds to the pepper. Here, by the way, they can teach you how not to overdo it with spices, tell you how to behave at the table and present a brief excursion into the history of cuisines of different peoples of the world.

Museum of the film studio "Mosfilm"
st. Mosfilmovskaya, 1

It is possible that you did not remember the film "72 meters", mentioned in the previous paragraph, and breathe evenly towards Russian and Soviet cinema. Parents are unlikely to understand if you do not say what happened to Stirlitz in the finale of "Seventeen Moments of Spring" or name the actor who played Ivan the Terrible in Gaidai's film. But they will be very happy when you invite them to go to the museum on Mosfilmovskaya Street. The costumes, cars used in the filming and, most importantly, the scenery will make you switch from Western films to Soviet cinema for at least a week.

Hockey Museum
st. Avtozavodskaya, 23

Your family may be completely indifferent to sports, but why not sometimes do desperate things? Even if you don’t distinguish offside from icing, and Ovechkin from Malkin, find an hour and walk around the exposition in the Museum of the Glory of Russian Hockey. Moreover, the museum is new: it opened on the day of the start of the World Cup, which was held in the capital in May. Yes, and we have something to be proud of in hockey, unlike football.

Our selection is just a modest attempt to embrace the immensity. There are a myriad of museums in Moscow where you can safely go hand in hand with mom and dad. However, it is important to say that we also found three places where entry with parents is strictly prohibited. 1

Moscow has a lot of entertainment for every taste and budget, and in this article I have prepared a list of the 10 best places to go with a child in Moscow.

In recent years, hundreds of places have appeared where you can go with your child in Moscow. However, among this variety it is very difficult to choose the best and decide where it is better to spend time with the whole family.

For those who are on a budget, numerous Moscow parks will be an excellent choice, where you can have a great day with your child at no extra cost. The capital of our Motherland is full of contrasts, and there are also such entertainments for which you will have to pay half the monthly salary. In my personal rating of places where to go with a child in Moscow, they did not get.

So, where can you go with a child in the capital and enjoy the time spent with your family?

Here are 10 best places to go with a child in Moscow.

No. 10. Moscow Children's Book Theater Magic Lamp

A small and cozy puppet theater with a soulful atmosphere in the center of Moscow offers performances for the smallest children, from only 3 years old. The theater is located in the center and has a flexible booking system: if the child suddenly falls ill, you can cancel the reservation right on the day of the performance. I recommend going with a child in Moscow to the play “A Kitten named Woof”.

Price: 900‒1200 rubles

No. 9. Sokolniki park

One of the largest parks in Moscow, Sokolniki is a great place to visit with a child of any age. There is an amusement park, many paths for cycling, rollerblading and skiing in the winter season. There is also a skating rink in winter. Unlike another popular Moscow Gorky Park, in Sokolniki you can drive a wheelchair absolutely everywhere and it is not so crowded here. Here you can look at ducks and swans on the Golden Pond, see squirrels (just don't feed them, please), play on one of the many playgrounds, ride a train (as in the photo). And if you are looking for places to go with a child with disabilities in Moscow, then Sokolniki will be a great option: the environment is friendly to strollers, and there is an Emerald City playground on the territory that takes into account the needs of children with special needs.

Price: for free

No. 8. Moscow Planetarium

The oldest planetarium in Russia and one of the largest in the world, the Moscow Planetarium can please astronomy lovers of any age, although I recommend coming here with children from 6 years old, because younger children can be bored and incomprehensible. I must say right away that you need to book the Planetarium all day or split the visit into two days: there are a lot of activities and information. You should definitely visit the Big Star Hall and the Urania Museum, as well as the Lunarium Interactive Museum (children under 6 years old are free). I do not recommend going to the Theater of Fascinating Science - boring and definitely not worth the extra 600 rubles. Tickets can be bought in advance, but there are no discounts on the website.

Price: from 550 rubles, many benefits

No. 7. Moscow circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard.

The Nikulin Circus is one of the oldest and most famous circuses in Russia, where you can go with a child of any age. If you live in Moscow or happened to be passing through here, this is a must-see place. The unusual atmosphere of childhood, an interesting program that is watched in one breath by children from 2 to 100 years old, the opportunity to take pictures with circus animals (alas, expensive). I highly recommend going to the Magic of the Circus program, regardless of whether you have children: adults leave the performance almost happier than the younger generation.

Price: from 500 rubles

No. 6. Park of the State Farm named after Lenin "Lukomorye"

One of the best free places to go with a child in Moscow. Although, from a technical point of view, the park is located in the Moscow region, it is only two bus stops from the Domodedovskaya metro station. The park is designed for a wide variety of age categories, and it is better to come here for the whole day, to the opening at 9 am. At noon, you can already get into a long line, and the wait will take from half an hour to an hour and a half: the number of people on the territory is limited to avoid crowding. The atmosphere of a fairy tale and fun reigns in the park: you can watch a mini-performance, jump on a trampoline, climb in a rope town, see your favorite fairy-tale characters, “swim” in a pool with balls and do face painting (for an additional fee).

Price: for free

No. 5. indoor ice rink

One of my favorite pastimes is ice skating. And although I really love outdoor skating rinks, their indoor counterparts are significantly superior to the first in terms of ice quality: for this reason, skating with children on them is much more pleasant, and there are much fewer people. There are a lot of indoor skating rinks in Moscow, and I advise you to choose the one that is closer to your home so as not to carry heavy skates and warm clothes far. The Grad skating rink in the Gorod-Lefortovo shopping center suits me according to its location: the skating session lasts one hour, the schedule is published on the website. There is a skate rental and sharpening service.

Price: up to 12 years - 250 rubles, adult ticket - 350 rubles

No. 4. Oceanarium on Dmitrovskoe shosse

The largest oceanarium in Russia is located in the shopping center "Rio" on Dmitrovsky highway. Compared to the oceanarium, the Moscow one is much more modest in size and variety, but, nevertheless, there is something to see: bloodthirsty piranhas, sharks, Dory fish, penguins, jellyfish and stingrays, as well as many other inhabitants of the deep sea. You can come with the little ones.

Price: on weekdays: children under 5 years old - free of charge, from 5 to 14 - 250 rubles, adults - 500 rubles. 50 rubles more on weekends

No. 3. Aquapark Kva-Kva Park

A great place where you can go with the whole family with children in Moscow. In the photos it is huge, in life - a little smaller. But, despite the size, here you can find many interesting slides, fountains, attractions. Carefully study the age restrictions: on interesting slides there is an age limit of 10 years, and for children 3-8 years old there is a children's playground. I recommend going to the water park in the warm season, as at deep sub-zero temperatures there is a draft: it is easy to catch a cold.

Price: children under 4 years old - free of charge, from 120 to 150 cm - from 540 rubles, adults - from 940 rubles

No. 2. kidzania

One of those places that I look at and am terribly jealous of today's children: as a child, I would swallow a hat to go here. KidZania opened in Moscow quite recently, but has already gained thousands of fans, including me. This is a play-learning park built in the form of a city where kids can try themselves in a hundred different professions: cook, dentist, policeman, fireman. The child will have his own passport and even a salary that he can spend on entertainment or in the store. If your child is over 7 years old and is completely independent, then you can save on the cost of a ticket for yourself and wait for him outside the park. The duration of your stay in KidZania is 4 hours, but during the summer holidays there is no restriction, and you can spend the whole day here.

Price: children - from 390 rubles, adults - from 500 rubles

And here is my personal favorite in the list of places, where to go with a child in Moscow:

No. 1. Museum Experimentarium


If you are looking for where to go with a child in Moscow, I highly recommend the Experimentarium museum. I have been to the museum several times already, and always left only with positive emotions. It is interesting here for both adults and children: you can touch everything with your own hands, conduct experiments, learn a lot about physics, chemistry, space, solve puzzles, jump and run. In addition to the most interesting permanent exhibition, the museum holds classes, lectures and shows every day: the schedule is on the website. In my opinion, this is the best value for money among all the places where you can go with a child in Moscow.

Price: children under 3 years old - free of charge, from 4 to 16 - from 450 rubles, adults - from 550 rubles

But, in fact, despite this list of the best places to go with a child in Moscow, it does not matter exactly where you go; the main thing - do not forget to take a good mood with you, and then even an ordinary walk in the park will bring you and your child joy! :)
