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 your child in Moscow.

Per last years there are hundreds of places 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 best to spend time with the whole family.

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

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

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

No. 10. Moscow theater of children's books Magic Lamp

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

Price:900‒1200 rubles

No. 9. Sokolniki park

One of the largest parks in Moscow, Sokolniki, is a great place to go with a child of any age. There is an amusement park, many paths for cycling, rollerblading and skiing in winter time of the year. There is also a skating rink in winter. Unlike another popular Moscow Gorky Park, in Sokolniki you can drive a carriage absolutely everywhere and it is not so crowded. 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 little train (as in the photo). And if you are looking for where to go with your child with disabilities in Moscow, then Sokolniki will excellent option: This is a wheelchair-friendly environment and has an Emerald City playground that caters to the needs of kids with special needs.

Price:is 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 lay the whole day on the Planetarium or divide your visit into two days: there is a lot of activities and information. You should definitely visit the Great Star Hall and the Urania Museum, as well as the Lunarium Interactive Museum (free for children under 6). I do not recommend going to the Theater of Fascinating Science - it's boring and definitely not worth the additional 600 rubles. Tickets can be bought in advance, but there are no discounts on the website.

Price:from 550 rubles, many benefits

# 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 are passing through here, this is a must-see place. Unusual atmosphere of childhood, an interesting program that looks in one breath for children from 2 to 100 years old, the opportunity to take pictures with circus animals (alas, expensive). I highly recommend going to the Circus Magic program, regardless of whether you have children: adults leave the show 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 seatswhere to go with your 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 very different age category, and it is better to come here for the whole day, to open at 9 am. At noon, you can already get into a long line, and the wait will take from half an hour to one and a half: the number of people in 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 loved ones fairytale characters, “Swim” in the pool with balls and do face painting (for an additional fee).

Price:is free

No. 5. Indoor ice rink

One of my favorite pastimes is ice skating. And although I really love open skating rinks, their indoor cousins \u200b\u200bsignificantly surpass the first in the quality of ice: for this reason, it is much more pleasant to ride them with children, 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 away. The location of the Grad skating rink in the Gorod-Lefortovo shopping center suits me: 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 old - 250 rubles, adult ticket - 350 rubles

No. 4. Oceanarium on Dmitrovskoe highway

The largest aquarium in Russia is located in mall "Rio" on Dmitrovskoe highway. Compared to the aquarium, 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 rays, as well as many other inhabitants of the deep sea. You can come with the smallest.

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

No. 3. Aquapark Kva-Kva Park

A great place to go with the whole family with children in Moscow. In photographs, he is huge, in life - a little smaller. But, regardless of 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 playground. I recommend going to the water park in the warm season, as there is a draft at deep subzero temperatures: it is easy to catch a cold.

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

# 2. KidZania

One of those places that I look at and terribly envy modern children: as a child I would have swallowed my hat to visit it. KidZania opened in Moscow quite recently, but has already gained thousands of fans, including in my face. This is a play-based learning park, built in the form of a city, where kids can try themselves in hundreds of different professions: cook, dentist, policeman, firefighter. The child will have his own passport and even a salary that he can spend on entertainment or shopping. 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 length of stay in KidZania is 4 hours, but in summer holidays the restriction does not apply, and you can spend the whole day here.

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

Here's my personal favorite on the list of places where to go with a child in Moscow:

# 1. Experimentarium Museum


If you are looking for where to go with your child in Moscow, I highly recommend the Experimentarium Museum. I have been to the museum several times already, and always came out only with positive emotions. It is interesting 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 price-quality ratio among all places where you can go with a child in Moscow.

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

But, in fact, despite this list of the best places to go with your child in Moscow, it doesn't matter 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! :)

Finding a place to go with your child in Moscow is not at all difficult. It is difficult to choose from a huge number of theaters, amusement parks, circuses, exhibitions, shows. Every day, events in the capital alternate with each other, many of which are held in Moscow on an ongoing basis.

The choice of entertainment directly depends on the age and preferences of the child, as well as on the season. Fidgets will probably want to throw out their energy, rolling down slides or frolicking in a water park, and a young polymath would rather choose a scientific and educational exhibition where you can touch everything and experiment on your own.

Moscow amusement parks

Universal place children's recreation there will be numerous amusement and amusement parks in Moscow, as there is hardly a single child who does not like the world of toys, magic and fun. Entertaining games in amusement parks are a great way to diversify children's leisure time, cheer up, “tear” the child away from gadgets, and perhaps even help the child choose a future profession.
