A very interesting tour, they briefly told the history of Belaz, from its formation in the USSR period to the present. A large factory, a tour of the territory is carried out by bus. They showed one of the assembly shops on foot and gave them a poke/ climb / take a picture of the largest mining dump truck that exists today. Additionally, by prior arrangement, you can travel by passenger on another "small" Belaz around the training ground, but there are literally 5-7 minutes. The girl guide enthusiastically answered all the questions. It was interesting))
Belaz and that says it all, you can't look at such equipment anywhere else, so it's great that they take excursions to this plant, this is an excellent practice that should be adopted by other large enterprises. It was interesting to visit the museum, take a ride around the territory and, of course, touch this colossal scale technique yourself and take a lot of photos for memory. I recommend going to the enterprise on your own without any excursions from travel agencies, minibuses regularly travel from Minsk in this direction. And most importantly, you first need to write to the company's email address so that they book a place for you, since their number is limited. All the details are on their website
I can't evaluate the museum, because I didn't get into it, it turns out that I need to sign up for a week, I came to Belarus for a week, and I didn't have time, the factory building looks majestic, but read the reviews below, decide for yourself that there is nothing to do with the available offer and waiting time! Everything is purely subjective, but I will not go there anymore and I will not recommend it to friends and acquaintances
It was a very interesting excursion. Very informative. These are huge machines. Next to her, you feel like an ant.
It also turned out to take a ride on one of these huge ones. Generally very cool. I advise everyone to visit such an excursion at the BELAZ plant. And if possible, take a ride in such a car.
Super, I advise you to take a tour and ride on a 90-ton Belaz. Buy souvenirs, etc.

A great tour of the existing plant. First, you visit the museum, listen to safety techniques, and in orange vests with white helmets, passing one of the first Belaz painted pink, you get to the assembly shop. The final assembly of the machines is underway in the workshop... You can wave to the friendly crane operators. Then they are taken to the site with the main copies of the plant, including 450 ton dump trucks... You can take pictures with everyone and climb on almost everything... And finally, there is a buffet-dining room and a gift shop... Very cool, I recommend it to everyone... However, you need to make an appointment in advance and by phone... And in addition to everything, you will have to call the Belarusian phone number. There is no useful information on the site... On the spot, too, you can't just come and get on an excursion...
If you live in Belarus and want to see a European factory, then come here. The territory is huge and is kept in almost perfect condition. The workshops and assembly line are as clean as an operating room. The entire staff is dressed almost to the nines. And there are a lot of tourist buses. And Belarus and Russia and even China. I personally really liked it. Recommend
The horror! As it turned out, everything was according to some records for several weeks or more. This is not a museum, but an excursion to the factory. The guards were absolutely rude, as if they were glad that the children and I didn't get in
It is definitely worth visiting the museum. Huge machines will amaze the imagination, it is very pleasant to hear about the precise operation of the plant and orders for years to come. I recommend it!
I'm sure it's a good museum, but alas
We made a special detour to show the Belaz to the child, and there are guided tours only by appointment.
For sure, everything is on the site, but somehow the idea did not come to check.
As a result, we only looked at the monument and a small belaz from behind the fence
With us, at least two more cars of visitors also could not get in
Is there any way to change the procedure?
There is an open area there
We ordered the tour through a third-party agency. We were gathered in the center of Minsk and taken by minibus to Zhodino. The local guide was in a hurry, they spent a lot of time at the factory museum, although it was announced about an excursion to the factory itself. I thought they would show us the workshops, the canteen (where we can have a little snack) and only then the demonstration models of Belaz themselves. As a result, there was only a museum for 30 minutes, travel through the territory of the plant on an electric bus from the plant's fleet, photos with different Belaz, for those who ordered a rental with a driver in BELAZ, there is also a trip. However, I want to note that the BELAZ riding time is indicated on the plant's website (10 minutes), but in reality they only ride for 5 minutes. As a result, due to the fact that there were many people who wanted to ride, my husband rode last and we did not get on a general tour of the only workshop (paint shop) that is allowed to visit with an excursion. It can be seen that the local female guide is very confused about the characteristics of Belaz, cannot answer questions about power, etc. technical issues. In general, the excursion to the 4th is a stretch, I liked only the Belaz themselves and photos with them.
We were struck by the scale, purity, and most importantly the final product-BelAZ. A pleasant guide is Alexandra, a tour of the museum was conducted, we drove through the territory, we told a lot of interesting things about the production of BelAZ. There is an opportunity to drive a dump truck.
The story is well shown, very interesting and informative. I recommend.

The tour to BelAZ was great! The whole family is delighted! We really liked how Maria, an employee of the plant, led the tour, she told us a lot of interesting facts about the history of the plant, about the specifics of working at the plant, interesting facts about the factory and the models that the plant is currently producing. We were allowed to climb some BelAZ, and we managed to take great photos. A wonderful souvenir shop and delicious eclairs in the cafe. Thanks for the souvenirs for each participant of the tour and for coloring books for children. I recommend you to visit!
For the second time on an excursion to Belaz. The first time was 7 years ago. And you know what? Sanctions against Russia have had a very life-giving effect on this auto giant. Work is in full swing, trucks are driving, workshops are working, tourists are driving... 90% of orders go to the Russian Federation.
I really liked Olga, the girl guide, she told me very interesting things. The children listened with their mouths open.
I've been on an excursion twice. There are no words - only emotions. A very interesting museum. And when you see these huge cars on the factory grounds...
We recently visited Belaz. It is interesting, but in my opinion the price for the tour is too high. And these are not empty words, there is something to compare it with. Namely, recently we were in St. Petersburg and the entrance to the modern museum, where there is a lot of interactive, the cost for Belarusian money for adults is about 20 rubles, and for children the preferential is half as much. BelAZ has 30 rubles for everyone . I think the pricing policy is not justified. What was there. They showed the local museum, told about the history of the enterprise and corporate culture. Then they showed a dump truck, which was shown in the movie "The Queen of the gas station". They gave me time to take pictures. Then we drove through the territory, entered the workshop, climbed onto a dump truck. I'll say this: the tour itself is normal, the staff is also normal. It was interesting to see the power of the machines and you are a booger compared to them, but I would, as a person who is directly related to tourism and has been on both sides, that is, as an organizer and a lover of traveling, either add something to the tour or lower the price. And I would definitely do twice as much for children. And I'm sure the number of people would have increased significantly
The tour is short. It took more time to skate, those who ride are certainly fun, but those who do not ride are dead of boredom. It was possible to create separate groups with and without skating. Considering that the places for skiing are limited and not equivalent to the tour group.
I advise everyone. It's worth seeing the giant cars! We took a lot of photos, climbed on cars, into the cabin, visited workshops, saw the assembly of cars
It was a miracle that we got on the tour. When we were driving, we thought we would just look at the exposition. But since the museum is located directly on the territory of the plant, all excursions are by appointment only and organized in groups. But we were lucky, we were accepted into the group. The tour was interesting, they showed the museum, a few workshops, and of course the largest dump truck. They let you climb on it. The territory of the plant is very large, so the group moved around the territory on an electric bus. For a fee, you can ride an average dump truck. The only thing is, I found the tour a little expensive, 30 bel.rubles. But that's my opinion. And so I highly recommend the tour, we really liked it.
A large sightseeing and informative tour: the history of Belaz, the territory, showed the workshop of manual assembly of dump trucks. Exhibition area of equipment. A 450-ton dump truck can be climbed. We took a ride through the landfill on a 55-ton Belaz - we were impressed. Super place. I advise you to visit everything.
Thank you for the opportunity to see with your own eyes the largest dump truck in the world.
I signed up for the tour a week in advance by phone.
There is a cool museum on site with interesting information and models. The tour of the territory itself is not very interesting, almost nothing is shown, they just take a trolleybus to the site where the largest Belaz stands. The production line is not shown, just stand a little bit at the beginning of the workshop (I compare it with MTZ, they drive around the assembly shop and show a lot of production processes). A cool souvenir shop, but unfortunately there are no commemorative coins on sale.
The overall impression is good, I recommend you to visit!
Everyone-everyone-everyone who has such an opportunity should visit the BELAZ plant!!! Yes, it's not cheap, but unforgettable emotions are guaranteed!!! The excursion program is well-designed, visits to the museum, observation deck, assembly shop. There is quite a lot of time to visit the exhibition site, our entire bus managed to inspect all the presented cars without haste, take pictures wherever we wanted.After the tour, everyone was presented with tiny BELAZiki))) and of course you can buy anything you want at the souvenir shop, there is a very wide selection from toys and dishes, to stationery and bags.
It's just a great place, I definitely recommend it to everyone, the girl guide is divine, she talks interestingly, answers all questions, even technical ones, the time is perfect and you have time to get ready and listen to the tour!!!!!
That's where everyone needs to go. The scale is amazing. Pride immediately overwhelms the heart. It was possible to save not only the plant itself, but also the atmosphere, go past the plant itself to the dining room, it is very tasty and inexpensive.
The impression is as huge as the BELAZ themselves. It is interesting to see these monsters that are created by human hands, and then work for the benefit of man.
We visited the company on August 5th. It is interesting even for those who are not fond of technology. Yes, the tour itself and a dump truck rental are not cheap, but you will not see this anywhere else :) Everything is organized with dignity. Alexander's guide and the dump truck driver left very pleasant impressions – special thanks to them!
I strongly advise you to make an appointment in advance. I did it via email.
The museum, the conveyor belt and, of course, the equipment itself were impressed. A decent souvenir shop. I recommend it to fans of industrial tourism
A wonderful museum. A wonderful exposition. Very interesting. It is worth booking excursions in advance, as there are a lot of people, especially on holidays.
Everything is here with the prefix MEGA! Mega cool! Mega interesting! Mega scale! MEGA big and MEGA strong cars! A test drive on a real BelAZ does not leave indifferent either children or adults!
There will be impressions)) you can climb the giant, ride around the territory on an electric bus during the tour, and you really liked the museum, and the workshop, and the store where, by the way, awesome suitcases from BelAZ, we recommend visiting in general!
I recommend looking at these "babies".
The territory of the plant itself is quite large - a kind of city within a city with its own transport and stops.
Upon booking, I took the phone from the BelAZ website, called and made an appointment.
Excursions are held 2 times a day at 10:00 and 14:00 (at the time of publication of the review).
It lasts about 1.5 hours. For an additional fee, you can ride a dump truck.
There is a canteen outside the factory.
Parking - it is better to arrive a little in advance to find a normal place.
In general, as an adult, I liked it. The children, I think, will be delighted.
An excursion that we had planned for several years upon arrival in Minsk....but alas, you need to sign up in advance.... this year we signed up in advance, April 1 to May 6 ..... and Voila, it took place....The tour is super, I really liked it....well, the career technique is above all, monsters ...
I recommend you to visit. The service, of course, was lame in places, but nothing critical. People who are far from production will really like it and it will be useful. 450 tonne is really huge!
The population of Zhodino is 70 thousand people.
The average PO at the enterprise is 85 thousand rubles, according to the guide. In my opinion, a very decent indicator.
