Moscow has everything for a good rest with children. You can choose an active vacation or an educational one. It all depends on the wishes and mood of your child. Many cultural and entertainment facilities are included in the Accessible Environment program, which means that they are convenient for people with disabilities to visit.
Alternative to the zoo
If the weather outside the window is not happy, and you had plans to visit the zoo, it is better to go to the shopping center "Rio", where you will show the children and exotic animals, and admire the outlandish fish. The first oceanarium in Moscow has opened in "Rio", where you have the opportunity to observe the life of underwater inhabitants, sea turtles and even penguins. You can enter the aquarium with a stroller and kids over one year old will see everything well. The largest influx of visitors there is on weekends, but towards evening it becomes more free. And the oceanarium is open until 22 hours.
If the children demand the continuation of the holiday, take a look at the next door - there is an Exotarium - a zoo of exotic animals. There are no unusual animals there! For example, what do you know about the Patagonian hare or the capybara? An excellent opportunity to fill this knowledge gap. You can look at animals at close range through glass. And the advantage over the Moscow Zoo is the absence of a large number of visitors.
Fun museum
There are different museums. There are museums where you have to walk in special slippers, do not talk and do not touch anything with your hands. And there are museums where you can have fun, ask questions and touch everything yourself. This is how children spend their time at the Experimentanium Museum of Entertaining Sciences. The museum is divided into zones, each of which is dedicated to some scientific fact - mechanics, optics, anatomy, etc. Most of the exhibits can be touched, experimented with, and participated in scientific experiments. This kind of entertainment is ideal for children aged 5 and over and their parents!
If you plan to go to the museum with a large group of children (with class, with friends), look for those where you can book a tour. For example, it is better to go to the planetarium or the Museum of Astronautics centrally. It will be simply boring there without a guide.
The sea in the city
If your children suddenly want the sun and the sea, go to the water park. There are several water amusement parks in Moscow - "Kva-kva-park", "Karibia", "Moreon", "Fantasy". All of them are designed for families with children. There are water slides, small pools, trampolines and playgrounds for children. You can celebrate your birthday by having fun with the animators. And adults at this time can calmly rest on sun loungers and imagine that they are at sea.
Various city festivals and events are well suited for an unusual and spontaneous holiday. Traditionally, Moscow has many summer entertainments for children; many thematic festivals are held. The schedule can be found on specialized city portals, sites of parks and estates.
