Great tour, highly recommended. The guide Sergey is a professional in his field, thank you very much again! I ordered a ride on a dump truck separately, the price for October 2024 is 90 Belarusian rubles per adult or adult + child on his lap (there is one empty seat in the cabin). Ours is 12 years old, he was allowed in with his husband. If you want to go for a ride, book three weeks in advance, because as part of the tour they manage to make only five passes.
An amazing place!!!I can't believe that these huge machines were created by man!There is a retro car playground.But the most interesting thing is the site where the cars that are being produced now are located.You can climb one of them, but if you want to feel the power of this technique, you definitely need to ride it.You pay in advance at the factory's cash desk (the guide will offer this in advance), and within 5 minutes with the driver you will take a ride on this WONDERFUL car.My husband was just thrilled!!You will be taken for a ride on a painted BelAZ, which the staff lovingly call an Embroidery.In the main workshop, you can watch the assembly of the machine.An interesting museum, an erudite guide Alyona.Thanks to her for an interesting tour of the factory.Be sure to visit BELAZ, delight and exciting sensations are guaranteed to you!!!
I liked the tour, many thanks to the guide Olga. It is very informative and not too long. The factory's products are impressive. I definitely recommend you to visit. The only caveat ... If you plan to buy souvenirs, then do it right at the store where you pay for the tour, you will not return there, and there is less choice in the second store.
The museum is great. Everything is done inside is very informative. All miniature units of manufactured equipment, including Soviet times, are collected. According to the photo, you can live a short history of the formation of the enterprise. The review also received state awards and not only, there are symbolic gifts from other countries with which the organization cooperates. It is definitely worth a visit. And keeping up with the times, I would like to suggest making a virtual room where you can personally participate in the process of creating career equipment, or go back in time and see the stages of formation of the flagship of our country.
An unforgettable and amazing experience! An excursion to the BelAZ Museum, a tour of the production hall and the territory of the plant. And delight - in protective helmets and vests, you could take pictures with the largest trucks)) and not just nearby, but you could climb on them. We also went to the factory cooking - everyone liked the delicious fresh cakes and pastries. There is a company store. The factory is clean! I really liked everything! Thanks to the guide and everyone who works there! The skill of the drivers of such huge cars was admired.
The place is a must-visit, if possible.
Taking pictures next to a 450-ton car, and even more so, taking a ride along the test track (even if not driving), seeing a new mining dump truck coming at you from the assembly line - all this is definitely worth the money and time spent on the tour.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, the first part of the tour (where the museum is) is a bit boring. Think about adding some interactivity. For example:
1. "Virtual driving trip", where one could climb into an analog of a Belaz cabin and, using VR, take a ride in one of the coal mines.
2. A mock-up of the assembly line, where you could see from the outside how everything works (during a real tour of the workshop, everything is too fast).
It's a very cool place. We were on the tour and we really, really liked it. A great museum with interesting exhibits. There is a lot to see and listen to. The plant itself is beyond praise. We were in the production workshops and even managed to take a ride on BelAZ around the landfill.
Very impressive. The museum itself is small, but it contains exhibits on the history of the company itself, product models, and gifts from guests. But this is not the most important thing. The main thing when visiting an enterprise with an excursion is the opportunity to visit the production workshops and see firsthand the process of creating the largest dump trucks, and even take a ride on them. Wow! For fans of technology, I highly recommend it.
A great tour, there is something to see, climb on huge cars, there is an opportunity to ride a BelAZ (for an additional fee of 90 bel rub). The plant is located in Zhodino, 50 km from Minsk. You can get there by train or minibus 1 hour on the way, the fare is 2-5 bel rubles, depending on the type of transport. The tour itself costs 30 bel. The big disadvantage is that you can only sign up for a tour by phone. From Russia, a call to the Republic of Belarus just to sign up cost 400 rubles. This tour can be taken through various tour offices. The price is almost all standard 100 bel RUB per person. That is, it is three times more expensive than a self-guided tour.
I grew up in a working-class family during the Soviet era. I spent a lot of time at the factory where my dad and mom worked. I was glad to plunge into the atmosphere of childhood, to visit one of the workshops of the enterprise, where work is really going on. With one eye, look into another, real, not so well-groomed workshop for excursions, with its smells of iron, dust, oil and welding, with moving crane beams, working people. My children really liked the cars produced by the factory, and especially the ride on one of them. My wife really liked the museum, which feels the pride of people in the entire history of this enterprise. It was amazing that such a big deal was being done in such a small city. In Russia, many enterprises have ceased to exist, but here we managed to preserve and most likely improve the heritage of the great country in which I was born.
We went on a guided tour of the factory! Everything is fine! Starting with the fact that they are very hospitable people! Although we didn't have time to officially sign up for the tour, but when we arrived at a certain time, we were accepted!
The girl who talked about the factory and production, unfortunately I forgot her name, is obviously not an indifferent person, loves with all her soul the life that the factory and its workers live! Her whole story is filled with pride at the giants they produce! And at the same time, they do not forget about ordinary people, large families, young families, and veterans have a whole package!
Of course, we were impressed by Belaz! These are monsters that work wonders! If you will be in Minsk, be sure to see this place! You can also go for a car ride there.
A very interesting museum. Be sure to visit. You need to make an appointment in advance and only by phone. You will most likely be signed up no earlier than 2 weeks later. If you want to ride BelAZ, then you need to sign up strongly in advance. Because there are only 5 rentals during the tour. The tour itself lasts 2 hours and costs 30 rubles. It starts with the museum, where the guide tells how it all started, showing old photos. Then you will be taken to the workshop. Helmets are issued in the workshop. You cannot take photos or write videos in the workshop. And in other places it is allowed. After the workshop, they are put on a bus and taken to an open area where there are a lot of cars, including the largest BelAZ, which can be climbed. While everyone is taking pictures and watching the equipment, those who ordered the service "ride on BelAZ" (it costs 90 rubles) are riding at the training ground. There is a cafe on the second floor of the building. We can have a snack. In general, you will get very vivid impressions.
I visited this plant for the third time in October 2024. I thought, well, what else can I see. And, fortunately, I was very wrong.
I was here for the first time in the fall of 2023, at an open day in honor of the 75th anniversary of the plant. Everything was very cool: open workshops, an observation deck with all Belaz models, a concert, kebabs, etc.
Then I went on a guided tour. It's a completely different experience when specialists talk about the plant! They are professional masters of their craft! + Driving on 90-ton dump trucks is super!!! I recommend it to everyone!
The third time I was with a special tour from the company. We managed to see the workshop of super-large machines. I was very impressed!!!
That is, regardless of the format of the tour, I recommend going there. And it is informative, interesting, and the impressions are just wonderful! + We are proud that this is our native enterprise, which is one of the three world manufacturers of large-sized equipment. Vivat Belarus!!!
I really enjoyed the tour. We were very impressed with the big cars, we could climb on top, take pictures and ride (for a fee). Then they were taken to a workshop where they are collected, you can't take pictures there. And to the museum, where the guide interestingly told the story of how BelAZ was created, how the Holding Company developed and turned, and much more. You could ask interesting questions and take pictures. At the end of the tour, BeAza's models and coloring books were presented to children. Then you could buy branded souvenirs. The tour took 1.5 - 2 hours and the road from Minsk to Zhodino took about an hour there, an hour back, in general, as they said, count on 4 hours.
Two hours of the tour flew by unnoticed. First, we visited the museum. The guide told about the creation, development and growth of the plant, briefly about models and production. Then we went to the workshop, walked around the conveyor. We drove by bus through the territory and stopped at real cars. It's just amazing. Such giants are difficult to imagine. The "kid" of 90 tons (as at VDNH) is impressive. And what can we say about 450 tons. It's just a mountain. Those who wish can ride Belaz by pre-ordering a rental. 10 minutes cost 90 br.
We signed up for a group tour by phone, all individual arrivals were canceled that day. Record in 2-3 weeks. The guide Sergey conducted us through the territory in a very sincere and organized manner. It's interesting, informative, but also sad, because it feels like it's getting harder to sell such cars. It is interesting for both adults and children!! Giants are amazing.
Complete delight!!! An interesting tour of the Belaz plant, I liked everything: the appearance of the plant is modern European style , cleanliness is almost sterile, beauty , including landscaping at the entrance. There is a lot to say about cars , about these giants, the fact that they are marked in the Guinness Book of Records says a lot. The guide conducted the tour interestingly and enthusiastically, we learned a lot of interesting things, the impressions are super!!!
An interesting tour! It is possible to take a ride for a fee. Book an excursion and a trip to Belaz in advance. Of the cons. The gift shop in which the tour is paid at the beginning, the assortment is much higher than the store that you will be recommended to buy souvenirs at the end of the tour.
The size of the machines is impressive. A good, informative and inexpensive excursion. It is necessary to make an appointment by phone and arrive at the appointed time. Be sure to visit the fast food restaurant from the factory. A very tasty lunch!
A great tour for fans of technology. The guide is well done, the plant is admired. Special thanks for the opportunity to climb on the largest dump truck in the world
The feeling of this museum is very ambiguous. We went there on the advice of friends. He was highly recommended to us.
The guide warned at the beginning that there were only 5 people for the car ride program and if there was time left, then someone else would make it.
As a result, almost everyone rode, and those who did not want to ride waited very long and sadly on the bus. And if we add that it was raining that day and we had a long way to go home, then it was just very sad this endless waiting.
It was impossible to leave by ourselves, we just had to sit and wait.
The guide was without a microphone. It's very strange, especially in the workshop.
The cars themselves are impressive! And I really liked how the guide told me with pride about the factory, about how good and comfortable it is to work there
After the tour, it was recommended to have lunch in the factory canteen outside the territory. We went in, looked, and didn't stay. Well, it's like a dining room. We found a delicious cafe nearby, and had lunch there
Directly at the factory, the record is already a month in advance. But you can get there the next day through travel companies, although it is much more expensive (we paid about 2,900rubles/ person, rental on Belaz is ≈2,500rubles / person)
The museum is small and cozy with mock-ups of manufactured machines, portraits of managers and a map of the supply of equipment around the world - in the Soviet style.
The assembly shop is clean and beautiful, but not very informative. I would like to see and learn more.
Well, the BelAZ 450 tons itself is an impressive machine in terms of power and volume. They let you climb, take pictures, and drive. At the same time, there is no detailed story about this car right on the spot in front of it. It would be informative and interesting. And I would also really like to see how this car behaves in motion. Alas, we didn't find that either.
In general, an excursion through a travel company is definitely not worth your money, there is a feeling of the topic being undisclosed.
If you are in Minsk, be sure to visit the BelAZ factory! It is problematic to get there by yourself, but you can buy a bus tour directly from Minsk almost every day. The tour will take about 4 hours, an hour to get there, 2 hours at the factory and an hour to Minsk. The most wonderful guide will tell you the history of the plant, about different models of BelAZ, and then after walking around the workshops, you will also be able to ride a 90-ton BelAZ e in the cabin (though for a fee), my son was wildly delighted! I recommend visiting the factory and experiencing the power of cool trucks!
It's very, very, very cool! They take you through the assembly shop, then on an electric bus to the "live" exhibits, where you can climb and look everywhere. Well, for a fee, they can ride around the landfill. Who will gather, keep in mind that you need to sign up for the tour in advance!
An impressive place! Everything is presented in the form of models! truck modifications for all years of production. You can visit the museum as part of an organized excursion to the factory. For an additional fee, they ride on BelAZ!
First there was an excursion to the museum. It is very interesting, visually, and fascinating about the creation of Belaz. Then we went to the assembly shop, where we were told not only about the assembly process, but also a lot of very interesting facts about these beautiful machines. And then we went by bus to the world's largest Belaz trucks, of which there are only 4 pieces (dump truck weighing 390,500 kg, load capacity 450,000 kg, maximum speed of about 64 km /h, weight of one wheel 5000 kg. Listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest on the planet)! And they looked and touched it), and climbed into the cabin. It's amazing!
First, a lecture at the Belaz Museum. 30-35 minutes. It's a bit tedious in places, but there are also interesting facts. Then an inspection of the working shop. We were on a day off, so it was quiet in the workshop and you could walk everywhere. The strongest impression of the cars themselves is in the exhibition parking lot. They take a bus there. You can climb on one of the largest cars. For a fee, they will take a ride in a medium-sized car (payment at the office).
A very interesting tour. You visit the museum of the plant, then the BELAZ assembly shop, then they take a bus through the territory of the plant to the exhibition samples. You can ride a real Belaz there, but you need to pay in advance. It will be an unforgettable sight for the boys, and for the whole family too.
An interesting tour (of course, for those who are interested), excellent organization, safety precautions are observed. A pleasant plus is riding on a real dump truck!
There are legends about the largest dump truck in Europe, excellent excursions, some of which you can find yourself in the cabin of this giant, impressive historical examples of the age of mechanization. But all this is available only on weekdays, which greatly complicates the visit if you are passing through Belarus!!! Personally, I would do the weekend on, say, Monday!!!
Everything is great!!! A city within a city. A tour of the Belaz museum, the assembly shop, an electric bus ride through the factory, a photo shoot with the largest cars. Everyone liked it. And in the buffet there are the most authentic cakes from childhood, of the highest quality, I advise everyone!!
An incredible factory. The social policy of the company is at a high level. The territory is well maintained, clean, the tour is very interesting and the cars are impressive in reality
A great place to visit with a guided tour. The machines are amazing in their grandeur and scale.I recommend you to visit, everything is clearly organized, but you need to book 1-1.5 months in advance
I liked it, especially my husband) but my daughter and I were also interested in looking at these legendary giant cars! The BelAZ Museum has interesting expositions that are worth visiting.
It is informative and interesting, the guide treats the matter with a soul, the children especially liked the tour, after a trip around the landfill in the cabin of Belaz there was no end to delight.
We visited this enterprise with children. You need to make an appointment in advance, by phone. It will not be possible to just come and get on the tour.
For a fee, you can ride in the cabin of BelAZ (for children, delight and memory for life). An excellent museum of the company's history. The tour lasts 2 hours. There is a good souvenir museum. I definitely recommend it.
Good afternoon. I live in Russia. There was an opportunity to visit the Belaz plant with an excursion. The tour is wonderful, we paid 30 rubles per person. They were in August 2024. We were shown the entire assembly line of cars. They showed the museum at the factory. For familiarization and expansion of the worldview, it is wonderful, I recommend it. They presented souvenirs at the exit.
The factory is impressive. Huge territories, a city within a city. The escorts are friendly. We were with a child, we even took a little ride with the kids. Did you enjoy visiting👍
A very cool idea of industrial tourism. The factory and the museum are very interesting. The museum tells not only about cars and the factory, but also about developments and how the city and residents live. The tour lasts about 2 hours, you can get to the factory only by appointment only by phone. We traveled around the territory on an electric bus and saw many models of cars. It's a pity we couldn't take a ride. They promised to start rolling on Belaz again soon
It's a great place. We were a family on a night tour, it's something. Especially the trip to the night range on BelAZ 90t. The children were delighted!) I recommend.
We did not get to the museum itself, only when we arrived - we carefully read that the tour must be booked in advance. But we walked a little bit along Zhodino. The city is different from Minsk. It's even cleaner here, still neater, if that's possible... We have been in Belarus for a couple of weeks and are still under the impression of how nice, clean, and pleasant it is there. Gorgeous roads!
The museum is gorgeous.Everywhere you can touch everything, climb, review everything.The kids are thrilled, and so are we.Not to be forgotten.The mass is visible.We even received gifts.
Great factory tour!
The opportunity to see these gigantic trucks up close!
The opportunity to climb the world's largest dump truck!
The opportunity to ride on Belaz!
A friendly and competent guide!
The only thing is to make an appointment in advance.
I was here with my family on 06-01-2024
The staff - the guide, the driver who drove the 90-ton Belaz, the young lady-the organizer-the assistant - are WONDERFUL!!!
The interesting history of the plant in an excellent presentation, the organization and holding of rides on BelAZ + buffet - I really liked it!!!
It was not possible to reach the call center before the specified date (within 2 days)...
I recommend you to visit - impressions are GUARANTEED
Organization and information support - I hope that the company will fix it soon!
The place is unusual! Interesting!
Be a little patient and come!!!
It's good here (when it's not cold), it's unusual, you can't see this anywhere else!
It's worth seeing! By the way, the tour may be more interesting, but considering that the plant is designed for the production of machinery, and not as an attraction, it is quite informative. And yet - given the exclusivity and the opportunity to drive on the quarry - it's worth a visit!
An interesting excursion to the factory that produces unique heavy and superheavy dump trucks and other mining and special equipment.
The opportunity to ride as a passenger on a 90-ton BelAZ, see the conveyor assembly shop and the dump trucks themselves, including the 450-ton one.
We couldn't get on the tour because there are a lot of people who want to and it's better to sign up for a week. But the girl on the line offered an open day (a separate plus for the contact center operators, very pleasant). We visited, the number of people was impressive. Belaz themselves were delighted, they were still at the competition of operators, which is also very unusual.
We were in July 2024! I am very excited about the tour. Everything is very interesting and informative. Incredible giant cars are simple! We are proud that 4 of the most gigantic cars in the world have been assembled and shipped to Kuzbass! I come from there myself😊
