Minsk is the largest city of Belarus and the capital of this state. Despite the rather young architecture of this city, a large number of tourists come here every year. And this is not at all surprising. There really is something to see and where to have fun.
Recreation and entertainment in Minsk
drive, as well as a dolphinarium and an exotarium.
For lovers of the exotic, there is an opportunity to travel back in time to the time of dinosaurs in the "Dinopark". There, life-size figures of 35 dinosaurs are presented to the attention of visitors. You can also stroll through the beautiful botanical garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
There are five parks of culture and recreation in Minsk with a lot of various entertainments and attractions, of which two parks stand out, where there are large Ferris wheels. Still, but how elsecan the average tourist or local resident see the city from above?
Ferris wheel in Chelyuskintsev park
Chelyuskintsev Park is, perhaps, one of the most favorite parks of culture and recreation for Minsk residents. Its discovery took place in the early thirties of the last century. And for almost a century, guests and residents of Minsk have the opportunity to relax in this wonderful place. The Ferris wheel in Minsk in the Chelyuskintsev park is not very big. Its height reaches 27.5 meters, but even this is quite enough to climb it and admire the beautiful view of the park from above. The attraction is designed for 80 people. It has four open cabins, each of which can accommodate 4 people.
Ferris wheel in Minsk in Gorky Park
Gorky Central Park is the oldest park in the city. It was discovered at the beginning of the nineteenth century. During its more than two centuries of history, the park has undergone many changes and improvements. The name was given to it in the mid-thirties of the last century, and already in the sixties the first attractions were built here and the park was transformed into a children's park.
The second Ferris wheel in Minsk is located just in this place. It is much larger than what is located in the Chelyuskintsev park. Its diameter is 51 meters, and its height is as much as 54 meters. At the same time, 144 people can ride on the Ferris wheel. Among the cabins there are 4 open types. We will immediately warn you that such places are most popular with vacationers, andthere is almost always a queue for them. There is practically no queue in the closed booths, and you can get there much faster.
Afraid of heights - choose the Ferris wheel in Minsk in the Chelyuskintsev park, love extreme sports - head to Gorky Park and admire the city from above.
How much do you have to pay for this? Ticket prices for these attractions are as follows:
- To ride the Ferris wheel in Chelyuskintsev Park, you will need to pay 1.8 Belarusian rubles (53 Russian rubles).
- In Gorky Park, a ticket to a closed booth will cost 2.5 Belarusian rubles (73 Russian rubles), and an open booth will cost 3 Belarusian rubles (88 Russian rubles).
In Minsk, the opening hours of the Ferris wheels in both parks are the same:
- Monday – 15:00-21:00.
- Tuesday-Thursday - 11:00-21:00.
- Friday-Saturday - 11:00-22:00.
- Sunday – 11:00-21:00.
- Holidays and pre-holiday days - 11:00-22:00.
Future plans
And in conclusion, I would like to add that a project has already been developed for the construction of another Ferris wheel in Minsk, which will be the largest in the country. The place for it was chosen not far from the Sports Palace on the embankment. It is not yet known how tall he will be. But they say that it will be much higher than what is now in Gorky Park. The start time of construction is also not yet known, first the approval of the project by the president is required.
