Ostankino Park

One of the main attractions of Moscow is Ostankino Park. Having preserved the amazing aura of past years, this park seems not subject to the passage of time. Too exacting visitor will say that before and open cafes did not meet every ten meters, and benches in the forest could be larger, and will be, in general, right. But still, going with a child to Ostankino Park is a great idea! Ostankino Park can be accessed in two ways: through the official gate and through the “secret”, but quite solemn gate connecting the park with the territory of VDNKh. Okay, let's go in from the front door. After the alley with the most beautiful flower beds (which have repeatedly participated in the contest "Sheremetevsky Waltz of Flowers"), giving aesthetic pleasure to walkers, we see a wonderful wooden playground. Its assortment is represented by a medium height slide, swings, rockers, three large sandboxes, a log for walking, hemp columns and a beautiful gazebo-house. You should go with a child to Ostankino Park at least because this wooden paraphernalia pleases all children without exception. And convenient benches located around the perimeter of the fenced area allow parents to watch their children, as they say, without getting up. And - notice - all this happens almost in the forest, away from cars and other obvious signs of the metropolis. The next stage after the playground will undoubtedly be a visit to the attractions. No parent over the age of 25 will be able not to feel nostalgia for his youth - after all, everything in the park remained almost unchanged! And if, for example, on the territory of VDNKh, entertainment supermodern units are equipped with a bunch of electronics and powerful soundtrack, then here your children will be able to enjoy no less interesting (and, of course, safe) rides in an atmosphere of relative silence, which is broken only by children’s joyful squeals, and not screaming music from ten different radio stations at the same time. Among the children’s attractions: “Autodrome”, “Mini-karting”, “Sun”, “Bell”, “Aircraft”, “Chains”, “Deer”, trampoline, “Young”, carousels “Cars” and “Horses”. It is worth paying attention to nostalgic attractions for adults, such as "Devil's Wheel", "Waltz" and "Orbit" and shooting range. As well as boating and catamarans. “People say that they are tired of the city, that they are annoyed by houses, cars, cage apartments, crowds of people ... but no one has ever said that he hates the forest,” said V.A. Filin, a professor of videoecology. So after you and your children visit the attractions, go to the forest - the blessing to go to it only 30 meters! Here comes a real expanse - you can walk along the paths of the Ostankino Park or walk to the Botanical Garden or move to the territory of VDNKh, or make this path in stages. In other words, the space is open! And if you or your children are interested in roller skating, bicycles or scooters - use the rental of this mobile equipment when entering the park. By the way, in Ostankino Park you can have lunch, as at the entrance and on the territory of the park there are several cafes and mini-shops. Do not think that a visit to Ostankino Park will last all day. Despite its saturation, it can take no more than three to four hours. The main thing is to organize everything correctly. And believe me, your children and you will enjoy such a walk! In addition, if you start a family morning with a visit to one of the main attractions of SVAO - Ostankino Palace - you will get a wonderful cocktail of aesthetic pleasure and fascinating historical knowledge.
