It’s basically a gigantic Soviet theme park where you can easily spend the whole day.
1. Get active– hire a bicycle or a kick scooter—there are dozens of places to rent them around the park. In the summer, you can take a wakeboard lesson, navigate a rope park or, for fans of intellectual sports, play chess.
2. Learn the secrets of space– even if you are not interested in space exploration, you will definitely like the Cosmonautics Museum. As a memento, you can buy space badges, cosmonauts’ food and even meteorite fragments.
3. Visit the studios of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art– pop into (заскочить куда-нибудь) the young artists’ residence in pavilion 317. The building, which dates back to 1939 but was renovated this year, comprises 18 workspaces that include studios and paint-spraying rooms.
4. Communicate with robots- do you think robots will take over the world? Now you can ask them yourself at Robostation (pavilion 2).
5. See Russia’s biggest aquarium– VDNKh is home to Moskvarium, an enormous (огромный) oceanography and marine biology center that houses over 12,000 marine animals, ranging from starfish to sharks. The Moskvarium even has pools where you can swim with a dolphin.
