This is the Planetarium, and the Nikulin Circus, and the Big Ferris Wheel. But other cities are trying to keep up with the mother of Russian cities.

Miracles of Physics in Novosibirsk
Those people who are familiar with the history of Russian cities know that Novosibirsk deservedly bears the status of the academic capital. Today, the Galileo Park is a worthy couple to the scientific center of the SB RAS. If you study the history of the Siberian capital, it will become clear why this name was given to the entertainment complex.
Tourists who have visited all the sights of Novosibirsk, including Akademgorodok, but still do not completely agree with the unofficial status of the city, must definitely visit Galileo. Theme park. Of course, the main goal is to entertain children. The creators wanted their faces to shine with joy and happiness when they leave the amusement park. But in parallel, the founders of this entertainment complex wanted to instill a love of science in the souls of young visitors and increase the thirst for knowledge. Adult visitors also learn a lot of interesting things.
Why is it worth to visit Galileo? A park in Novosibirsk helps people enrich their knowledge of physics.
Practice. Theory. Experiment
Substantial and concise. So you can briefly say what opportunities the Galileo Wonder Park will offer its visitors. Novosibirsk will surprise with an interactive exhibition of exhibits of the entertainment complex, which are based on various phenomena of physics and their perception by the human mind. In addition, both children and adults will have the opportunity to participate in various scientific experiments and experiments, many of which will look like real magic.
Galileo Park has another plus. Which room you can’t get into - you can touch everything and press all the buttons without fear of breaking or disabling anything. Experiments with color, space, sound, and the movement of matter are welcomed and encouraged. Unthinkable and fantastic designs will help.
Miracles are nearby
Galileo is a park of wonders. It's hard to argue with that. Indeed, in numerous halls, rooms and passages, a magical aroma is floating. We can say that everything here is reminiscent of magic. There is an association with the girl Alice, who fell into Wonderland, as soon as you find yourself in a mirror Labyrinth of illusions. It is considered one of the longest in Europe.
Magicians of Novosibirsk are magicians, illusionists, researchers, as well as engineers. It was they who created their magical kingdom here, visiting which gives the feeling that you will find yourself in another, unknown and not subject to the laws of gravity, world.
Exploring two floors of the amusement park, visitors will be convinced every minute that miracles are nearby.
Solve IQ Puzzle
Galileo Galilei, a physicist from Italy named after the attraction complex, solved many puzzles in his life and made a great contribution to physics, as to science. Therefore, in one of the conditional zones, which the Galileo Park is famous for, there is a whole IQ site where visitors are offered to solve many problems. For example, in one of the tasks you need to shout down the plane. In another test, visitors will be asked to escape from the dragon. You need to do this by riding a bicycle.
Many will be interested in the attraction, which is called "Trajectory". He will help to find out if everything is in order in a person with coordination. Another design has the same goal, called Draw a Star. All visitors will be able to measure their height simply by spreading their arms, or find out how high they can jump, check how fast they have a reaction, or how loud their nature has endowed them.
Extraordinary exhibits
Galileo is a park that will surprise you with unusual exhibits. Many of them not only stand in the room, but also carefully monitor everything that is happening, the actions of those who come to visit them. Where else can you see the mask of Einstein, which glows, or huge dragons that are very reminiscent of real ones? They look even more realistic than in science fiction films.
Those who always wanted to know the secrets of the universe should go to the Wood Box and hit him. You will witness the process of the appearance of an air vortex with your own eyes. And if the room is filled with a pleasant melody, and no one is behind the nearest musical instrument, you should not be scared. After all, Galileo is a park of miracles. Most likely, this reminded of itself a piano, which plays by itself. Of course, this instrument also has a secret - it plays when it perceives external sounds.

You can try yourself as a landscape designer and create a “piece of nature” with your own hands. To do this, find the backlit sand, which is an interactive model of the relief, and perform simple manipulations. For example, if you dig a small hole you get a blue-blue sea, and if you pour a hill of sand, then out of the blue will grow hills covered with greenery. To understand all the amazingness of what is happening, you need to go through the halls of this unique place at least once.
Welcome to the world of illusions
If visitors get tired of solving puzzles, then they can move to another zone, which is a continuous maze. Probably everyone heard about the Cretan labyrinth, where it was scary only from the roar of the Minotaur. Here, of course, it is unrealistic to meet a mythical character, but there are more interesting “highlights” that will add sensuality to the senses.
The Galileo Park is notable for its attraction - the illusory part. Wandering around the rooms, halls and passages that change people's perception of the surrounding space, you can believe in magic. Here, both children and adults will try to walk upside down on the ceiling, which will allow you to look at the usual correct room from above.
In another room, the child will be several times taller than their parents or older brothers or sisters. Horrified will come those who hang in the bottomless shaft of the elevator. Not everyone shows the courage to go into it, although, in fact - this is just a qualitatively created illusion.
The worst room in the program is a room with many chains. And the end of the walk will be a maze of mirror walls, where not only the figure of a person changes, but also the space surrounding him. It is very easy to get lost in it. Those who are unable to cope with the riddles of mirrors should find an emergency exit and call the phone number indicated there. Help will arrive instantly.
