This article will talk about establishments, events, entertainment for children from three to seven years old. But how do you choose where to go with your child this weekend?

Various options where you can go with children in Moscow

The question of where to go with a small child in Moscow involves a lot of answers. Based on the interests of the baby, physical and mental needs, characteristics of a particular stage of development:

• For fidgety kids aged five to seven, outdoor activities, trampoline centers and labyrinths are suitable. Active children like rope parks, both outdoor and indoors, laser tag, and attractions that allow them to fully release their seething energy.
• Thoughtful guys, loving calm events we recommend visiting the recently fashionable children's sand shows, science museums, including the Planetarium. Among the open areas, you will enjoy excursions through the green areas of Moscow, as well as meeting with city attractions.
• We advise young adventurers to go on quests, organized by the capital's children's centers, as well as to museums and popular entertainment venues, which are represented in huge numbers in Moscow. By the way, this is a good option for holding fun family holidays - birthdays, for example.
• If your child loves the animal world, is delighted with the Animal Planet programs, go with your growing youngster to zoo, dolphinarium, oceanarium. Both adults and the baby will receive the most positive impressions, and time will fly by. If you want to touch animals, hold them in your arms, and treat them to a tasty treat, the ideal option is to go to petting zoos, of which there are plenty in Moscow.
• I want spectacles performances, immersion in the world of performing arts? Capital doors theaters, where interesting children's performances are constantly organized, including interactive ones, open every day. Numerous movie theaters offer fun, educational screenings for the whole family. And if you want new sensations, visit extended virtual reality room (4D, 5D), or watch a full-dome movie in the Planetarium that reveals the secrets of the universe. True, it is suitable for children aged five years and older; little ones may get bored.

The capital offers an endless variety of options for where you can go with a small child. You could choose new places every weekend and still not see everything. Let's start:

Where to go with your child in Moscow in the fresh air. We have fun, relax, develop in open areas.

The child needs help organizing his leisure time not only during walks, but also at home. Absolute hit of 2018- set for creativity “Paint with light”- have been flying off the shelves of all children's stores for several months now. And no wonder! After all, this simple and cheap toy helps develop a child’s creative abilities and introduces him to the laws of physics in a playful way.

If you want to take a walk, not just for health benefits, but also to gain new knowledge, look at the architecture of Moscow, get acquainted with the famous sights of the hero city, you will have dozens of ideas.

Free options for walking a child 3-7 years old in Moscow

Many children are interested in the historical places of the capital, large estates where royalty, representatives of the noble or merchant classes used to live, historical open-air museums - in a word, everything that Russia is rightfully proud of.

History of the capital: streets, alleys and nooks and crannies: the center of Moscow

When deciding where to go with a five- to seven-year-old child in Moscow (and also with a baby, but then it’s better to take a stroller), do not leave the center of the capital without attention:

Red Square. Children are fascinated by the view of the Kremlin, the wide pavement lining Vasilievsky Spusk, the ensemble of the red brick wall, St. Basil's Cathedral and GUM. By the way, if it suddenly gets cold, you can look into the main supermarket of the country: firstly, there are many cafes there, and secondly, the glass dome and various installations will delight the inquisitive little one.

Okhotny Ryad. The place is especially interesting with a cascade of fabulous fountains that embody familiar stories. There is a fox with a crane, and Ivan Tsarevich with a frog, and a duck with a brood of hasty ducklings. Little fast food lovers will love McDonald's, located right in the Okhotny Ryad building, but we don't recommend going there: there are very long lines.

Alexander Garden. Located near the Kremlin, on the side of the Eternal Flame. The entrance is decorated with elegant wrought iron gates. The length of the garden is sufficient to take a walk without feeling the frantic rhythm of life in the metropolis: from Red Square to the exit to the Kremlin embankment. This place is especially beautiful in summer, when luxurious flower beds bloom wildly everywhere, and in winter you will find the charm of a snowy fairy tale. Works around the clock.

Arbat. One of the most famous streets of Old Moscow. They are constantly selling something, showing something, offering something, organizing something. Life is in full swing, and you can often unexpectedly find yourself at an ethnic music concert, a dance performance, or even a magician's performance. Moreover, all this is completely free, especially for grateful spectators-passers-by, right in the middle of the famous street.

Sergei Sadov, who plays on Arbat almost at any time of the year

There are many more interesting places both in the capital’s center and a little further away. For lovers of active street walks in large parks, we recommend visiting Sokolniki, Gorky Park, VDNKh, Vorobyovy Gory. Such a family vacation will not hurt your pocket at all, but will bring a lot of bright impressions.

Important tip! Still, take a certain amount of money with you. A number of the listed places (Arbat, VDNKh, Sokolniki, Vorobyovy) offer souvenirs, handmade goods, books and other interesting items that you may want to purchase.

Estates: impressive palaces and picturesque parks.

Moscow is an ancient city in which numerous noble families flourished, the heirs to the throne grew up and were educated, and noble merchants and traders lived. It is not surprising that many estates have been preserved, and wandering through the open spaces is a real pleasure for the whole family. In summer you can have a picnic on the lawns of the estates, and in winter you can go downhill. Tours are offered to many of the palaces and churches of these residences.

Kuskovo

The former residence of the Sheremetyevs, which still amazes with its aristocratic grandeur and scope. The exteriors, alleys, and architectural structures here return to the unique spirit of past centuries. You can see costumed ladies and gentlemen, and ride a horse cart. The large, almost perfectly rectangular pond has a special charm.

Kuskovo is an ideal option for taking your child for a walk in the fresh air in the east of Moscow

Excursions are offered for all ages and vary in duration; more details can be found on the website https://vs-travel.ru in the sections “One-day bus tours”, “Walking tours around Moscow”.

Entertainment under the roof

The baby, like the parents, does not always want to walk down the street, and often the weather is not conducive to long walks. The capital offers a variety of options for a fun children's holiday in warm rooms.

Where to go with a child of three to seven years old on the weekend: circuses, theaters, questrooms

Little children love spectacular shows, colorful performances, and funny performances. When choosing entertainment for children under five years old, keep in mind: the plot should be understandable, or even better, familiar. Watching a completely new story, not every child understands the essence of what is happening, so he quickly gets tired of the show.
For older preschoolers (six to seven years old), more complex stories are quite suitable.

The choice of entertainment directly depends on the age and preferences of the child, as well as the season.
