It doesn’t matter if you have children or you yourself are still a big child, be sure to visit the fun rides at VDNKh! There is something here for everyone. The park offers guests and residents of the capital to plunge into the atmosphere of a holiday, summer holidays and carefree childhood. What interesting things you can see and try at VDNKh, you will learn from this article.

VDNKh is one of the main holiday destinations in Moscow

The All-Russian Exhibition Center Park is considered one of the main sights of Moscow and a popular place for recreation for adults and children. Various exhibitions, fairs and holidays are often held here. For those who want to actively spend time there is a bike rental, and for those who decide to relax, there are numerous cafes and open restaurants. But what makes it worth visiting the park in summer is the various attractions at VDNKh.

The country's largest "Wheel at VDNKh"

The largest Ferris wheel in the country was built here first. From a height of more than 70 meters, a magnificent panorama of the city opens up, which is especially pleasant to watch in clear sunny weather. It was with the wheel that the VDNKh amusement park began, built in 1995 in honor of the 850th anniversary of Moscow and called the Wheel at the All-Russian Exhibition Center. By the way, children under 5 years old (of course, accompanied by adults) and newlyweds on their wedding day can ride this attraction for free.

Plenty of activities in the park for children and adults

The park has other attractions for children and adults: numerous slides, trampolines, carousels, cars and steam locomotives, as well as a fear room dedicated to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme. On holidays and Sundays, it gets very noisy and fun here. You can not only try all kinds of attractions at VDNH, but also watch performances by theater artists, acrobats and clowns, watch a puppet show or a fire show, and also take part in some competitions and prize draws. It will be especially fun with little children who are given balloons here and allowed to take pictures with funny life-size puppets for free.

Extreme "Cobra"

Among the variety of slides and other attractions, one attraction stands out - "Cobra" at VDNKh. If you're looking for thrills, then youwill definitely like it! It represents a "snake on rails", consisting of many booths. Its tail ends at the highest point and is located almost at an angle of 90 degrees. The rails are strongly curved, so that one edge of them rises vertically upwards, the middle is horizontal, and the other edge forms something like a loop. Cabins "snakes" start their movement from the highest point and sharply in free fall rush down to the squeals of "passengers". The challenge is not for the faint of heart! But how many emotions, adrenaline and, despite the fear, fun.

Other fun rides

What other interesting attractions are there at VDNKh? For those who want to "tickle their nerves" - "Free Fall Tower" and a giant swing "Mars". For those who want to be closer to the water - "Canoe", "Walking Balls" or a water slide. From the interesting: several shooting ranges, a basketball hoop, a go-kart track, a 5D cinema with smells, water splashes and other effects. Among other things, there are cute shops with souvenirs and soft toys, kiosks with sweets, cotton wool and popcorn. In a word, come to VDNKh and you won't regret it!
