As in any large Russian city, entertainment in Krasnoyarsk can be selected taking into account the interests of the whole family. On a weekend or weekday, the whole family can go to an interesting museum or visit a theater performance, go to an entertainment center or a zoo, or maybe a circus. But when there are so many offers, it’s easy to get confused.
Parks
In summer, you must visit amusement parks in Krasnoyarsk, for example, Central Park on the left bank of the Yenisei River. Here you can stroll along forest paths among the relict pines and feel yourself in nature, and then ride on the rides, which are many here - from simple carousels for kids to extreme ones, which will be interesting for adults to ride.
Theaters and cinema
Going to the theater is a real celebration and an interesting event for every child. So, you can visit children's performances in the Opera and Ballet Theater (children's musicals and musical tales and ballets in the repertoire), the Krasnoyarsk Drama Theater offers performances for the youngest spectators, and the Musical Comedy Theater invites young lovers of beauty to their musical fairy tales and performances.
There are exclusively children's theaters in the city, for example, a puppet theater or youth theater. The latter, by the way, offers not only classical performances, but also experimental forms, for example, plastic sketches and even comics. And the Kangaroo Theater offers entertainment for the whole family in Krasnoyarsk, for example, the performance of life-size puppets.
A visit to the cinema is a more informal event, but no less interesting. In addition to full-length cartoons, which are shown in any cinema in the city, a specialized children's cinema “Dream” works in Krasnoyarsk, where everything was invented specifically for young viewers - the hall, the lobby with the buffet, and the repertoire itself. Master classes and exhibitions on animation, video art and other areas of modern animation are held here.
And of course, one cannot fail to mention the circus. Here, the show involves trained animals, clowns, acrobats and gymnasts, magicians. Enchanting show you will remember for a long time.
Entertainment centers
The city has a large number of diverse gaming clubs, where entertainment for children in Krasnoyarsk will not let them get bored. Particularly loved by the townspeople are theme parks, such as Lunamania. The facade of the center is similar to the surface of the moon, and inside there are trampolines, labyrinths, slot machines and a lot of entertainment for the youngest children, as well as for teenagers and their parents.
Dream Land Park is aimed not only at entertainment in Krasnoyarsk, but also at training. Here, children can choose any profession, go through a master class and show their abilities, and get paid in local game currency for work, which can be spent here for interesting entertainments.
If you do not want to spend a nice winter day indoors, then visit the Beaver Log fanpark. Children are offered ice skating, skiing, tubing and organize interesting winter activities in Krasnoyarsk, in the Bobronauts kids club.
Museums
Usually children don’t like traditional museums too much, but they will certainly like the Newton Park Science Museum, which offers educational activities for children in Krasnoyarsk. This is an interactive museum where you can get acquainted with the laws of physics and the structure of our universe in a playful way. It’s great that you can not only touch all the exhibits with your hands, but also conduct experiments and experiments with them.
And for those who want to comprehend the secrets of space, the Krasnoyarsk planetarium offers several educational films for different ages. Having watched them with the whole family, you will not only have fun, but also learn a lot.
Zoos
The Krasnoyarsk zoo got its start as a small zoo, but today the “Roy Creek” is the habitat of more than 700 animals, including predators, mammals, birds, primates, and residents of a huge terrarium.
In the “Komandor” shopping center there is a tropical butterfly park where you can watch beautiful insects from tropical countries and see how the chrysalis turns into a butterfly.
Of course, these are not all the entertainments in Krasnoyarsk that will be interesting for family leisure, but this is also pleasant, because there will be enough new impressions for a long time.
