Question 1

How many entrances and which one should I pick?

Accepted Answer

There are nine ways in, plus a sneaky shortcut straight into the Botanical Garden.

Here's how to choose:
• Want peace and quiet? Use the entrances on Makayonka Street, Parnikovaya Street, or the southwest corner.
• Heading for the rides? Go for Kalinina Square, Tolbukhina Boulevard, or the rides alley gate.
• Visiting the Botanical Garden, Water Sports Palace, or Children's Railway? There are specific side exits that drop you right there.

Question 2

How to get here and where to park?

Accepted Answer

By metro: Get off at Park Chelyuskintsev. Head right out of the underpass for Tolbukhina Blvd, or left for Kalinina Square.

By bus:
• "Kalinina Sq." and "Park Chelyuskintsev metro" stops (on both sides of the avenue) put you right at the main paths.
• "Makayonka St." sits opposite, perfect for the eastern side.

Paid parking is available along Nezavisimosti Avenue and near the Water Sports Palace (park side).

Question 3

Where is the Children's Railway?

Accepted Answer

The "Zaslonovo" station adjoins the park on the north‑eastern side. The easiest way is to use the entrance from Naturalists Street (look for Nezavisimosti Ave. 86, crossing with Naturalists St.) Take a look at map, Info section.

Question 4

Can I see squirrels or hedgehogs in the park?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You'll spot squirrels mostly in the center and south, away from the noisy rides. Pro tip: they love raw sunflower seeds or hazelnuts. Hedgehogs come out at dusk—best to admire them from afar and not pick them up.

Question 5

Are there free areas for children and relaxation?

Accepted Answer

Yep. Besides the paid rides, there are free playgrounds and plenty of benches under old trees. The quietest spots are in the center, south, and east of the park.

Question 6

Can I bring dogs or bicycles into the park?

Accepted Answer

Dogs are welcome, but keep them on a leash (and muzzled if they're the big type). Bikes are fine too, just ride slow—pedestrians rule here. Leave the e-scooters at home, though. And obviously, no campfires.

Question 7

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Accepted Answer

Bring snacks and soft drinks, no problem. Just leave the BBQ grills and liquor at home. If you want a beer, grab one at our cafes.

Question 8

What if it starts to rain?

Accepted Answer

If it starts raining, the rides could stop for safety. Just duck under a cafe awning, grab some ice cream or a hot drink, and wait it out.

Question 9

Where are the best photo spots?

Accepted Answer

The tree-lined alleys, the main fountain, and the rides alley itself are all perfect backdrops. Stick around after dark—the park lights up and stays lit until dawn.

Question 10

What are the opening hours this season?

Accepted Answer

Here's the usual rhythm:
• Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday — 11:00 to 21:00.
• Friday, Saturday, and public holidays — 11:00 to 22:00.
• Monday and Tuesday — closed.
In autumn we close an hour earlier (20:00 and 21:00) because it gets dark sooner. Ticket sales stop 10–15 minutes before closing time, but if you've already bought a ticket and there's time left, you'll still get your ride.
