It is mandatory to visit with children. The magnificent and artistic Santa Claus is hiding in one of the houses and he pulls out everything. Otherwise, the park is large, but already dilapidated. There is not much to eat nearby, the nearest cafe is modest and not appetizing, to put it mildly.
Santa Claus exists and he lives in Belovezhskaya Pushcha. If you don't believe me, come and check for yourself. And yes, he will meet you in the summer too.
Even adults will believe it.
The child's trip was very overshadowed, the road to Brest is 14 hours, from Brest is another 2 hours, for the sake of a template 10 minutes of meeting the long-awaited Grandfather.frost and snow maiden.When buying tickets, it was stipulated that there would be a round dance, but alas..... At least they would have handed over a piece of candy, the children would not have forgotten the delight, in general, the meeting with the long-awaited heroes upset... I was only impressed by the area of the Residence, and it is really beautiful
We were disappointed with visiting this place, we were with the children on January 1, there were a lot of people, the whole crowd was brought immediately to the estate so that the children could see Santa Claus, we had to push the people of adult uncles in the first line, there was little interaction with the guests
We went to Santa Claus, for the sake of 1 single photo and go touch it
We got this!
And while the child was being put on by Some evil aunt, she pulled me by the sleeve, saying, step back, I'm taking a picture
And there are these 10-year-old and small elephants that everyone tramples on
Animators drive around the park , 10 minutes are allocated for grandfather and there are some riddles and take pictures , the remaining 2 hours are driven around the park
The organization of communication with the grandfather is at zero
We were in winter, I really liked it. In addition to the Grandfather and the Snow Maiden themselves with built-in microphones and who talked and took pictures with the group for no more than 10 minutes, the rest of the time was spent with us by an assistant guide. That's just thanks to his energy and knowledge of his business, he put all the stars. On the way
We went from the organization on the weekend, walked along the reserve, and there are fewer animals than in the zoo, this is due to the fact that most of the animals live in Belarus and monitor their population. There is no need to go wild on weekends, there are a lot of tourist buses. If possible, take the children sleds, tubing, walk around the zoo for a long time, the child and I are not tired to the end. You definitely need to get to the museum, it is so detailed and vividly made that it will not leave you indifferent to wildlife. I forgot to say, they sell cool pancakes there, with any filling. But we had to stand in the residence of Santa Claus (when they took us by bus), and special buses from the restaurant go there. It takes about 10 minutes to drive through the village where scientists who study the Forest live . We arrived, we'll freeze a little there, but it doesn't matter, there are a lot of tents nearby and that a huge 3-meter fire made of logs gets into the eye. And I didn't tell you about Santa Claus because he is different for everyone, my child and we liked their fairy tale, everyone has their own. If you go, take for the toddlers what to ride them in, otherwise you will get tired of their whining earlier. We were 17.12.2022. Have a good rest to everyone

Beautiful said places. It was like being in a fairy tale, fresh air, beautiful houses. Cheerful Santa Claus, I recommend going there with the children
We went as a family, children 6 and 14 years old. Santa Claus himself was very liked, cheerful, real, laughed, took pictures with him. But this is a small part of the tour, unfortunately. The rest (with Santa Claus's assistant) is not interesting even for a six-year-old: wait here, make a wish here.
The forest itself is majestic and one day is not enough to explore it. We were there in November. the weather was not for walking, we examined the aviaries with animals, and left the journey through the forest itself for the next time. It is better to go there in the warmer months. take your own bicycles or rent them (4 hours of rental costs 15 rubles), a snack, clothes for a hike and a good mood) . There are several bike routes there, the longest is about 30 km.
The residence. It is located 12 km from the entrance to the Forest and there is a bus ride 3 times a day when recruiting a group of 10 people. Tickets cost 15 rubles for adults and 10 rubles for children.. Not a few, I think. .
Upon arrival, we were met by DM's assistant, Varvara, who is also a tour guide. She opened the gate and led us inside. I imagined that I would end up in a fairy tale. But in fact ...Well, yes, a beautiful tower, into which we were not even invited . Although they told me about the different outfits of my grandfather and the different pillows he has for each season. Then we shouted together, called frost. My grandfather came out in a white (autumn) fur coat. To say that she is some kind of wow, I will not say. The same goes for Varvara's outfit. DM talked to us, listened to the children's rhymes, the whole program is designed for 5 year olds at most!!!The whole estate consists of wooden sculptures, the appearance of which leaves much to be desired. Apparently they were cut out 20 years ago, when the residence was created and since then nothing has changed or improved there. Some kind of story is attached to each composition (let me remind you of the age up to 5 years)Sculptures based on fairy tales - Snow White and 7 dwarfs, for example. Although I don't understand at all, what do they have to do with our culture and Santa Claus? The frog princess. A clearing with 12 months (some of them were under restoration, apparently their affairs were very bad). What killed me was that the zodiac sign was carved on each of the months. What's the point of this at all???? Grandfather's sleigh with a moose harnessed to it. Some kind of battered wooden bridge on which you need to count the steps. Then there are sculptures of Chinese calendar signs. It is suggested to take a photo near each installation. But they were so scary that there was no special desire. A clearing with Santa Claus from different countries with description signs. The Snow Maiden's house.and finally, a house where you can write a letter to Frost, there is also a museum of snowmen and a souvenir sale. Well, the final is a gift to everyone in exchange for a ticket. As a gift, a milk cake in the form of a mushroom. In general, the disappointment is complete. Since December 3, additional characters have been coming to the forest: the snow maiden, the kikimora, etc., lights are lit and the estate comes to life, and if snow falls, it will be truly fabulous, but....then why do you take people there before the start of the season?? and for that kind of money???
But even during the New Year celebrations, everything is not so smooth there. There are 5-7 thousand tourists a day!!!! I can't even imagine that many people at the same time. They say a new group is being brought, but the previous one has not yet entered the territory of the residence, and this is in the cold, in the frost!!! And these are not just words, these are reviews from those who have been there in previous years. And count for a minute, how much do they earn from 6 thousand tourists?)) There will certainly be enough for chic suits, and for a can of paint for berendey, and maybe for a couple of modern electronic buns) So I do not advise you to visit this place.
It's a great place. mandatory when visiting Belovezhskaya Pushcha. It is theatrical, funny, fun and interesting. Theatrical mini-performances, and cool objects. There is a good restaurant on the road, with good cuisine.
We are thrilled!!!!! We were in the cold -10, with a stroller, of course they freeze. There is an incomparable tea in the cafe on the territory. They danced, danced, and solved riddles. It was fun for everyone, regardless of age. Even a family of moose was met on the way
A great opportunity to plunge into a fairy tale. Even if the visit is in November, you will be greeted by Santa Claus in autumn attire. You can get a gift-a gingerbread. A little upset - the current repair, but we hope there will be beauty by the beginning of the Winter holidays.
I must say right away that I'm shooting a star for the cafe "Santa Claus's Hut" They cook disgusting. There is no serving, disposable dishes, a meager menu, and the prices are decent. I advise you to take something with you, the sandwiches are there...
the residence itself is not bad. Masha met us at the entrance and gave us a tour. Well, it's interesting this way. Sculptures from fairy tales were beaten. There is a legend and the house of Grandma Winter. We were in the spring, out of season. There must be crowds there during the season
... The teenage daughter did not like it, she says everything fake. I was very impressed that we were in the singular, and Santa Claus came out to us. We didn't expect this.
If you want to have a snack outside, and the weather is not very good, you can't find a table with a canopy together, please separately. The roof is but without tables and benches or vice versa.
There is a bus from the entrance to the forest to the estate. The entire residence is based on works of wooden architecture, i.e. very beautiful houses with carved elements have been built throughout the estate. There are about 200 wooden figures in the open air on the territory. The figures began to rot and they were covered with a protective compound. The groups are greeted by Santa Claus and the snow maiden. The guide leads groups and tells fabulous stories on various topics. There is a good cafe at the exit where you can have a snack, because after a walk you feel very hungry. The children liked it very much.
Drive 350km. We expected more, for a child of course. Everything is very fast, simple and uninteresting. If you do not stay overnight in Brest or somewhere nearby, it is very tiring. Santa Claus 5-10 minutes and the next group.
The place is good in general, it can be combined with a visit to Belovezhskaya Pushcha, but they sell the tour and do not say that repairs are underway, it is very unpleasant.
I especially recommend not to travel with a group of tourists (for example, 3 times a day in summer), but to adjust the time so that you can rent a bike and drive yourself. And you will be alone there!!! That's worth it)
If someone has been to Veliky Ustyug, then you probably won't be very impressed by this residence of the Belarusian Santa Claus. My daughter and I decided that this was our Grandfather's younger brother and he was just a villager :) That's why everything is so modest and fast. There is not much to see, except for wooden sculptures with an excursion from the tales, the DM goes out for 5 minutes, greets, a couple of jokes and then a photo with those who wish. It's all.
Interesting excursions for children, after visiting the Brest fortress, the most important thing is to get distracted and get into the atmosphere of a fairy tale. Summer frost is more like a forester, but with a sense of humor, like in winter, everything is fine.

We were on a guided tour at Christmas. In general, everything is fine.The only thing is there are a lot of people and a conveyor belt.We have a group of 60 people in front of us...and while they took turns taking pictures with Santa Claus..We waited for about 20 minutes, waiting.In general, everything is not bad.
Have a good time, everyone. I visited yesterday , namely on 12/18/21 in this as I would like and thought in a fabulous place , but alas, it did not work out. It's all the fault, in my opinion, that the administration is not prepared both in organizing entertainment events and in preparing inventory. The figures of fairy-tale characters made of wood are cracked, not painted, you can shoot corn in children, but the season has just begun. The queue to Santa Claus is crazy, groups organized by 60 people, based on this, there were no photos or contests as expected. The tree was stripped, the dance around it lasted no more than 1 minute. There's a lot to add, but I think that's enough. The second time there is no desire to go. I wouldn't have gone the first time if I'd known
