An unearthly attraction attracts citizens and guests of Nizhny Novgorod to the educational and entertainment center - the Galileo Wonderland Park. Numerous mysterious rooms, fascinating halls, transitions with unimaginable wonders lead guests to the main goal - the mirror maze.
Through the efforts of engineers, magicians and scientists, another reality turned out to be surprisingly entertaining and amazingly informative. The entertainment center uses the ideas of Wood, Ames, Da Vinci and other scientists.
Rules for guests
The Galileo Wonderland Park in Nizhny Novgorod is open from ten in the morning to eight in the evening every day (except for two days in December - 30 and 31, and one in January - the first). But you can only enter it until seven in the evening. This rule was introduced because the average time spent in rooms and labyrinths of the park is an hour.
Guests can make one lap on one ticket (that is, there is no return trip).
Entrance to the park is allowed only with removable shoes or shoe covers (the latter are issued to guests free of charge). Large bags and outerwear must be taken to the wardrobe. Here, as in any similar institution, the administration is not responsible for things left in pockets or bags.
The basic rule, which is simply necessary to observe (judging by the reviews) in the Galileo Wonderland Park (Nizhny Novgorod): strictly follow the set of warning instructions in order to avoid injuries and other misunderstandings. For example, if there is an instruction to hold on to the railing and handrails, then this must be done, because its non-observance can spoil not only mood, but also health.
It is recommended to refrain from visiting the complex for pregnant women, people with problems with the cardiovascular system, spine and musculoskeletal system. As well as suffering from seasickness, children under six years of age, patients with epilepsy and the disabled.
The park will not be allowed with drinks and food, with animals, as well as persons intoxicated or intoxicated.
Running around the Galileo Wonderland Park in Nizhny Novgorod is strictly prohibited. And further. The administration asks parents to take into account the individual characteristics of the child when moving around the park: there are places and passages with closed space and dark places. Children under 12 years old walk in the halls of the park only accompanied by adults.
Any shooting in the entertainment complex is allowed.
What is inside?
The miracle begins with many interactive exhibits: everything can be touched, twisted, pressed, etc. Each of them is equipped with a name plate and detailed instructions.
In addition to various force meters, mysterious signs that only the phone’s camera sees, and clock mechanisms, the setting is very attractive, on which you can listen to how your own heart works.
Not only children, but also adults love the room with an exercise bike: you just need to pedal a little - and 60 kg as it did! The mirror perfectly reflects the "new forms".
The attraction amazes guests where an adult can become a baby and a child a giant.
Then you find yourself in a hall in which everyone “knows how” to soar above the ground. Then you relax on a musical bench, leave a message to the descendants in the magic sand and paint with light.
Further more
The most mysterious is yet to come. After these fun rides, unrealistic dark transitions begin, followed by a mirror maze. The first thing that “scares” the guests of the park is an unusual bridge: it seems that it turns over together with the people standing on it! Handrails here are a must! Behind it is a room in which you can "walk" only on the ceiling ... And then mirrors, in many of which people are not reflected ...
Next, a terrible maze, almost no one succeeds in photographing there - it's scary ...
And the finale: a grandiose mirror maze! Each visitor at the entrance is given a telephone that can be contacted if it seems that there is no way out ...
