First, a little history. The Galaxy water park in Sochi includes the Gazprom mountain tourist center, which began operations in January 2008. From that moment, the complex was constantly expanding and becoming only better.
Today it consists of several hotel complexes, cable cars and ski slopes, the Laura biathlon complex, which was specially built for the 2014 Sochi Olympics, various cafes and restaurants, as well as the Galaktika community center, with a water park and others interesting entertainments.
The total area of the "Galaxy" is 50 thousand square meters. m, and the maximum capacity is limited to 4000 people.
Where is
There is a water park "Galaxy" in Sochi, in Krasnaya Polyana (village of Esto-Sadok). This place can be described as a very beautiful and picturesque valley, which is located 500 meters above sea level.
How to get there
There are three ways to get to the complex:
- On a personal car.
- By bus.
- By rail.
As for the personal car, then everything is simple: the route is set in the navigator, which will show the way. In addition, there are a lot of direction indicators in the city now, so getting lost simply will not work.
As for the bus, there are no difficulties here either. From Adler Airport you need to catch any of the buses with number 105, 135 or 105s, which just follows to the final stop "Rosa Khutor". Exit should be at the stop "Ski resort Laura".
And the last option is the railway. Yes, you can get to Krasnaya Polyana both by train and by the "Lastochka" company train.
Electric trains run quite often, only 9 departures per day. As for the "Swallows", it comes from Sochi only one.
Travel time is approximately the same for all departures - it is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes, but there are some trains that travel the entire distance in 45 minutes.
Of course, you can get to the complex from the airport of Adler, which is convenient in principle, but, unfortunately, it takes only 1 flight, and then at 11 a.m. It is good that the railway station is not so far away, and in which case you can always buy a train ticket.
