© piligrimporto.ru
We have chosen the most interesting places in the Moscow region - with rare animals, unusual mechanisms, delicious food or outstanding architecture that definitely needs to be shown to children.
Museum of Russian dessert in Zvenigorod
How to make toffee and marshmallows, what it means to “reach the handle” and how to put in sourdough – all this can be learned in the “sweet” museum of Zvenigorod. The exhibition occupies only a few rooms, but you can look at the exhibits for several hours: cute lampshades, funny paintings, a huge stove and antique utensils.
The museum hosts several excursions or master classes - you can make bagels, decorate gingerbread cookies, cook Guryev porridge and sculpt sugar flowers. At the end of the lesson, a tea party is held, at which all the works of the lesson are eaten with pleasure.
There is a shop at the museum. Prepare your money: leave without a package of fireweed, gingerbread or marshmallows prepared according to old recipes, impossible.
You can get to the museum by car or public transport: by train from Kuntsevo or by bus from Skhodnenskaya.
Tank Museum in Kubinka
So many military equipment Not a single museum in the world can boast: in Kubinka near Moscow there are more than 300 exhibits, 60 of which have no analogues. Only here you can see the RENAULT UE tracked vehicle, which was once called an “infantry tractor,” take a photo in front of the world’s first amphibious tank, the Vickers-Carden-Loyd, and gaze at the Maus, the only tank in history in the class of combat vehicles weighing over 100 tons
You can get to the museum either by car or on your own - by train from Belorussky Station to Kubinka, and then by minibus to the complex. From May 1, the museum has a comprehensive ticket (400-500 rubles for adults and 250-350 rubles for children), which gives the right to visit the museum, a sightseeing tour of the military-historical complex “Partisan Village”, as well as photo and video shooting .
Bird Park "Sparrows"
Although this place is called a “bird park,” birds alone are not enough. The reserve is home to a variety of monkeys, sloths, armadillos, skunks and even crocodiles. Here you can also see a collection of insects or unique stones (and at the same time buy something as a souvenir), get acquainted with tropical plants and fish, admire thousands of birds.
Not all animals in the park live behind glass. For example, rare ungulates live in houses on the street, and watching them against the backdrop of the surrounding hills and forests is a rare pleasure.
There is a cafe and a hotel at the entrance to the park.
Trinity-Sergius Lavra
The Trinity-Sergius Lavra needs no introduction: it is one of the main Orthodox shrines Russia, which is under the protection of UNESCO. And it’s useless to describe its attractions: thick guidebooks are dedicated to them. You just need to remember that the long line lined up at the Holy Trinity Cathedral is for the relics of St. Sergius of Radonezh, and you can try to bypass it if you don’t need to go to the relics, but just want to see the cathedral. Around the monastery there are cafes to suit every taste and budget; the train from the Yaroslavsky station comes almost to the city center, so coming here for half a day will not be any problem. There is also a Toy Museum not far from the Lavra. The space is small, but children will find it interesting - antique dolls, strollers, cars, trains, etc. You can show what toys your great-grandparents had.
Film city Pilgrim Porto
Pilgrim Porto – the opportunity to be in medieval Europe without leaving the Moscow region. It appeared thanks to the historical detective story “Notes of the Forwarder of the Secret Chancellery,” which was filmed in 2010. In the Solnechnogorsk region, against the backdrop of Russian birch trees, a real Western city of the 18th century was built with a temple, scaffold, dungeon and residential buildings. It's right there huge ship– you can climb up and even turn the steering wheel.
Next to the ghost town is the famous Serednikovo estate, where Mikhail Lermontov spent his childhood. By the way, this estate is also widely known in film circles: “The Admiral” and “The Tsar’s Servant”, as well as the TV series “Poor Nastya” and “Closed School” were filmed on the estate.
IMPORTANT! Now Pilgrim Porto is temporarily closed for restoration.
Museum-reserve "Borodino Field"
“Borodino Field” is the cherished dream of boys from 5 to 90 years old. After all, the complex remains the oldest museum in the world created on the battlefield. In 1812, the famous Battle of Borodino took place here between Napoleon’s army and Kutuzov’s troops, and in 1941, the Mozhaisk line of defense of Moscow passed here.
Nowadays Borodino, whose area is more than 110 square meters. km, is a whole memorial city with dozens of exhibitions, monuments, and temples. However, the most interesting thing here is the partially restored historical landscape of the battle with earthen fortifications, the Raevsky battery and the Shevardinsky redoubt.
It will be difficult to study everything on your own; it is better to pre-book a tour 3 days before visiting the museum.
There is a hotel and a cafe on the territory of the complex.
Church in Bykovo
The rarest pseudo-Gothic style church near Moscow was created according to the design of either Kazakov or Bazhenov - the authorship is still being debated. However, this does not prevent you from admiring the bell towers, airy staircases and spiers pointing into the sky.
This church has long been favored by the Goths. And if you're lucky, you'll see not only a neo-Gothic church that looks like a fairytale castle, but also a Gothic wedding that's unlike anything else.
The best way to come here is by car, and take food with you - there is nowhere to drink coffee here.
Ethnomir in Borovsk
Do you want to travel almost the entire world in a couple of hours? Then it’s worth going to Ethnomir, where in one territory there are Russian huts, tents, huts, yurts, Nepalese houses, crane wells, reindeer carts (you can ride), in general, everything that represents the life of different peoples, especially the CIS countries.
And if you are unlucky with the weather, you can explore in more detail the Street of Peace, where pavilions of various countries are located. Children will definitely not be bored: there are dozens of master classes here - from creating Estonian dolls and Hawaiian jewelry to minting coins and learning to play the drums.
Yes, and don’t worry about food: Ethnomir is a huge city with dozens of cafes, its own ATMs and several hotels.
Church in Dubrovitsy
In the competition for the most beautiful temple in the Moscow region, the Znamenskaya Church in Dubrovitsy would probably be in the top three. Contrary to the canons of Orthodox architecture, it is crowned with a huge golden crown, and the façade of the temple is richly decorated with sculptures of saints. The inside of the church also looks very unconventional - not without reason for its consecration and recognition Orthodox clergy it took several years.
Next to the temple is the manor house of the former Dubrovitsy estate, built by Boris Golitsyn. Be sure to take a look inside - now there is a local registry office, as well as a good cafe.
Shakhmatovo
The famous estate in which Alexander Blok spent every summer from 1881 to 1916, and also created about 300 works. Here, nearby, the poet got married in a church with Lyubov Mendeleeva.
For a long time the temple stood abandoned, and the estate was ruined. Now the estate has been restored - the carriage house, outbuilding, barn, and the gentlemen's mansion are open to visitors. In the main house you can see the dining room, the rooms of Blok’s grandparents, as well as the Blue Living Room, where Sergei Rachmaninov himself once played the piano.
Wild Squirrels Park
The complex, which occupies 2 hectares, includes an adventure park, a labyrinth, and an equipped clearing for team games. The season at “Wild Squirrels” opened just a few days ago, which means there are still brand new attractions, entire obstacle courses and equipment.
You need to come to the park for the whole day - although even this time is not enough to go around all the rope parks, jump on trampolines, ride the “Squirrel in a Wheel” roller skates, walk through the maze, find out what “Miracle Yudo” balls and cotton wool are “Barabas’s Beard”, and also gawk at the inhabitants of the zoo corner. The Gorynych grill bar also operates on the territory of the complex.
Biosphere Prioksko-Terrasny Reserve
This is the only place in the Moscow region where you can see bison. They were first brought here in 1948 - since that time more than 600 calves have been born in the reserve.
You can see mammoths of the same age only as part of an organized excursion, which starts every hour from 9:00 to 15:00 and lasts approximately 90 minutes. Don't forget to dress warmly: even in sunny weather it can be cool in the forest.
