Not only spectacular mountain views and a variety of ski slopes can boast the resort of Krasnaya Polyana, located near Sochi. For lovers of water entertainment there is a large social and cultural center "Galaxy", in the territory of which there is an excellent water park (Rosa Khutor, Sochi).
Here you can have fun both for young guests and adults, so everyone should definitely visit this water paradise among the mountains.
Rest in the center "Galaxy"
What kind of entertainment is not on the territory of Greater Sochi! Numerous parks, dolphinariums, ski slopes, amusement parks and even a unique mountain water park. Rosa Khutor is a resort that has recently been very popular, and at any time of the year. So the presence here of such an entertaining place as a water park gives it even greater attractiveness.
The social and cultural center "Galaxy" was opened in December 2013. On its territory there are a variety of entertainment, thanks to which the rest in the mountains will be unforgettable. The guests of the center are waiting for billiards, bowling, a cinema, a children's club, an ice arena, all kinds of shops, bars and restaurants and, of course, an aqua park (Rosa Khutor). Gazprom, which was the customer of this leisure place, made the right choice, deciding to place it in the mountains, among the ski slopes and numerous hotels.
Water park in Krasnaya Polyana
The water amusement park operates daily from 10 to 23 hours. The air temperature in it is maintained in the region of 29-31 degrees Celsius, water - from 28 to 32 degrees.
The territory of the water park occupies a considerable part of the first floor of the entertainment center "Galaxy". It is divided into two different zones. One of them is located under the roof of the building and offers guests fascinating slides. The second zone is located right on the street and gives everyone magnificent mountain panoramas.
The water park (Rosa Khutor) in its covered part offers guests four slides. Two of them will appeal to lovers of calmer descents, but the rest will certainly remain in the memory of extreme people for a long time. After all, the local “Black Hole” and “Kamikaze” will give brave men a lot of steep turns, which can be traveled at a very high speed.
There is a special corner for young tourists who came for impressions to the Rosa Khutor resort. The water park "Galaxy" gives them a whole town called "Africa" with small slides, ladders and water cannons.
For those who just want to relax in the water, all kinds of bathtubs with a jacuzzi, a special river with a leisurely flow and a variety of pools are suitable. I would especially like to note those that are located in the street of the water park. The water in them is heated, so even in winter, any guest of the complex can not only swim in the street, but also admire the beautiful scenery directly from the pool.
For visitors who decide to warm up thoroughly, the water park (Rosa Khutor) offers a Finnish sauna and Turkish hammam.

Finding the entertainment center "Galaxy" in Krasnaya Polyana will not be difficult. It occupies a very advantageous place, rising above sea level by as much as 540 meters. His address: Esto-Sadok village, Achipsinskaya street, 12.
What is more convenient to get to the "Galaxy"
Due to the rapid pace of construction for the 2014 Winter Olympics, places like Esto-Sadok, Krasnaya Polyana, Rosa Khutor cannot complain about poor transport accessibility.
Waterpark in the center of the Galaxy can be visited by absolutely any tourist, even if he stopped on the coast. You can get here at the high-speed Lastochka if you get off at the Rosa Khutor stop and take a short walk from the station along the embankments of the Mzymty and Laura rivers.
Buses number 135 and 105 also regularly go here right to the Gazprom Mountain Tourist Center stop.

Those who have chosen the Galaxy center and the water park located there (Rosa Khutor) need to know about tickets that must be purchased before visiting.
There is a tariff for unlimited visits for the whole day, the cost of which is 1500 rubles. for an adult and 1100 rubles. for a child. A three-hour stay in the water park will cost 1050 rubles. and 800 rubles. respectively. There is also a morning rate valid on weekdays. It includes a time from 10 to 15 hours, and the price for it is 1200 rubles. for an adult and 900 rubles. for a child.
For certain categories of citizens, for example, large families, people with disabilities, labor veterans and combatants, there is a special “social” tariff, valid from 10 to 18 hours. It provides a discount of 50% or 100% depending on the category.
It is worth noting that any tariff, regardless of the paid hours of stay in the water park, does not allow guests to leave its territory and re-pass back on the bracelet.
Rates for the child can be used by any young guest of the water park, if his height does not exceed 1 meter 40 centimeters. Moreover, if the baby has not yet grown up to one meter in height, then the entrance will be free for him.
Basic rules for guests of the water park
As in any other similar place, in the water park (“Galaxy”) simple rules are established that help to protect all visitors and maintain cleanliness in the territory:
- it is forbidden to bring your own drink and food to the water park;
- large slides can only be used by guests whose height is above 140 centimeters;
- babies who are not yet 3 years old should be under the constant supervision of adults, and they should also wear special diapers for swimming.
Opinions of visitors about the water park
Many tourists who come to rest not only in Krasnaya Polyana, but also in Big Sochi itself, are sure to try to visit the water park in the center of Galaxy. All this is due to the fact that vacationers respond positively about it.
The outdoor pools are especially shocking for visitors, swimming in which you can admire the snow-covered or green mountains. Satisfies the guests and the cost of tickets, because it is quite acceptable.
But the number of roller coaster rides for adults of some tourists is disappointing. If there were more of them here, then all reviews about this place would surely have been enthusiastic.
