Description of the tour:

There are sights in the capital, at the mere mention of which bright pictures appear before our inner eyes. Because the paving stones of Red Square or the battlements on the walls of the ancient Kremlin are familiar even to those who have never been to Moscow. And what does the abbreviation VVC (VDNKh) tell us? Of course, neither the new nor the old name of the place where the achievements of the national economy of the country were once demonstrated can reflect the full scope of the entertainment megaproject that filled the expanses of the former exhibition with life. We invite you to take a tour of the renovated VDNKh and one of its most interesting objects - the Cosmonautics Museum, which is rightfully considered the best not only in the Russian Federation, but also around the world.

In our program:

  • Acquaintance with the huge VDNH complex, whose famous pavilions with mosaics, panels and stucco are the hallmark of the exhibition. We will walk through the streets of this huge "city within a city" along a route that you will determine yourself, because the list of display objects depends on your interests and wishes. Regardless of what you want to see, an interesting rich program awaits us all, which will allow you to get acquainted with the main attractions of this giant amusement park in 2 hours, where there are all kinds of attractions, exhibitions and museums, a Ferris wheel, an oceanarium and other interesting projects.
  • A visit to the Cosmonautics Museum, the idea of placing it in the stylobate of the monument to the "Conquerors of Space" belongs to S. P. Korolev, a man who stood at the origins of space rocket science. The exposition of this wonderful museum allows you to feel the vastness of the universe, see rare unique exhibits, including lunar rovers, automatic stations that have been in near-Earth orbit, and even spacesuits for four-legged astronauts. Here you can get acquainted with the device of the rocket engine and the history of the development of Russian cosmonautics, watch an exciting popular science film about the conquest of space and touch the aliens from the depths of space - meteorites, an extensive collection of which is presented in the halls of the museum.
