Both day and night... and everything is different! 🎢
Location: Minsk, Gorky Central Children's Park
General impressions:
Several people recommended the Ferris wheel and the rides that enter the park. We planned to take a ride in the afternoon, but faced some difficulties and surprises.
Visiting experience:
Ferris Wheel:
Afternoon: We wanted to take a ride in the afternoon, but we were told that the Ferris wheel was not working due to weather conditions. It was very hot, and the enclosed booths were stuffy due to the lack of air conditioning. We were a little upset because it is not very clear why this was not indicated in advance.
In the evening: We decided to come in the evening by calling the phone number listed on the park's website. We have been confirmed that the wheel is working. Around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, we drove up, bought tickets absolutely without waiting in line and sat in a booth. The views were amazing! We got into the "golden hour" when the sun was nearing sunset and everything was illuminated by golden rays. The view was simply incredible — the whole of Minsk, the city center, low-rise buildings.
🎢 Kolobok attraction:
This is a semi-extreme ride where you sit in front of a friend or one, and holding the lever, you will flip up and down depending on the movement. It's very cool, absolutely not scary, adds a pleasant thrill and pleasure.
Availability:
Low mobility: I did not pay attention to accessibility for strollers, but the staff expressed their willingness to help. I was offered help to get on crutches, which was very nice.
Disadvantages and problems:
🌞 Day and evening operation of the attractions:
The Ferris wheel did not work during the day due to the heat, and there was no information about it on the website. In the evening, it was also stuffy in the booths, despite the decrease in heat.
Some rides were open only during the day, while others were open only in the evening. For example, the wild slides did not work in the evening, although they were open during the day. This creates inconveniences for tourists who expect to visit the park once.
Positive points:
🌇 View: The views from the Ferris wheel were amazing, especially during the golden hour.
🤝 Service: The park staff were polite and ready to help.
Final assessment and recommendation:
In general, the park and attractions left pleasant impressions, but the unpredictable work schedule and lack of information on the site create inconveniences.
I recommend:
🎡 For lovers of beautiful views and evening walks.
🎢 For those who want to experience a light adrenaline rush at the Kolobok attraction.
We do not recommend:
🌞 For those who plan to visit the attractions during the day due to possible closure.
For those who are limited in time and do not want to face changes in the schedule of attractions.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
A beautiful place)) nice to take a walk)) you can buy a snack, ride on the Ferris wheel)) lots of benches.. cleanliness and order) from the Ferris wheel there is a beautiful view of the city! Then you can go to the embankment and look at the fountains))
A beautiful, clean, well-maintained, green park. For holidays with children. There are a lot of good attractions here. You can buy soda, cotton candy, hot corn. Rollerblading or scooters. The space allows.
If you come here on weekdays, then everything is fine! The rides are cheap, there is no choice, the children like it. It is convenient to use the pay service, so as not to queue at the box office, but to buy tickets online (there is a kewar code on each attraction)
A very good place to stay. There are not bad rides for children. You can just walk along the embankment. There is also a minus! These are the enormous speeds at which scooters move along a dedicated track. You need to be very vigilant, especially when with children.
The park is big, beautiful and cool, there are many attractions for children at reasonable prices, BUT such queues for tickets are terrible. To buy tickets for the Ferris wheel, we stood in line for 40 minutes. Clean, ducks in the river, sweet. A beautiful view of Minsk opens from the height! I recommend you to visit!
We like this park. We come every year. This time we arrived on May 5 at 12:30. There were people, but not too many. There were not many people in the queues: they bought a ticket and immediately got on the attraction. Almost all the rides were working. And each had its own visitors. Three hours was enough for us.
It is best to arrive in the morning, because then there are many more people.
Attractions work cool in the heat. In the morning from 10 to 11:00, in the evening from 19:00 to 21:00. That's it! Those who did not make it in time were late. The Ferris wheel can stop and you sit in a stuffy booth, waiting for it to be lowered, and then you go forward, then back, then on the spot. For me, I need extra time to take pictures, but my loved ones were really scared.
They were saved from panic by my indifference, but people in other booths were screaming. Guys, I come to the park to rest, not to save my family from heart attacks and panic attacks. After a strong wind, two days later, branches and trees were lying on the paths, they were not in a hurry to clean up. Otherwise, the park is like a park.
A great park, a huge Ferris wheel, cheap tickets for attractions, attractions are just cool, from "scary" to "soft". I advise you to visit + get a charge of emotions for a long time.
A wonderful park. A huge and beautiful territory, many attractions, there were even queues. Affordable prices. The children were just delighted. Parents too.
We walked, rode the Ferris wheel, ate ice cream. We sat on a bench in the shade of the trees. The order is being monitored. The most pleasant impressions. I recommend.
Детский парк в Минске год от года практически на одном уровне. Детям много аттракционов, есть и бесплатные площадки которые им очень нравятся. На хорошие платные как всегда большие очереди . Из новых аттракционов особо ничего не понравилось, да и цены на них значительно больше. Но в теплый хороший выходной отдохнуть с ребёнком можно. Только денег побольше берите
A beautiful park. We rested there for our grandson's birthday. He rode all the attractions and some twice. He was happy, and we were happy because he was happy.🙂
The park is small. The attractions are all in one place. I didn't like the fact that for some reason the park has two days off - Monday and Tuesday. Although there are people these days, they are not provided with entertainment. And this is in the summer season…
We went with the child for the weekend, on Sunday , there were just too many people, the price of a waltz and a circuit is 4.50 per person , I think this is normal , of course it's expensive , but tolerable. The price tag for street fast food is off the scale, I don't mind anything for the child, but everything should be within reason.
В парке всегда интересно.особенно если организовать прогулку в парк,да еще и на аттракционы.будет очень весело,увлекательно и можно получить большой заряд положительной энергии.любая семья будет в восторге.
Красивый парк, множество дорожек как для прогулки, так и для пробежки, ровные газоны, очень чисто. Детские аттракционы самые разные имеются, хорошее место для отдыха с семьей и в одиночестве.
We had a great rest, rolled up) the prices are affordable. Of course, there are more people in queues in the evening. It is ideal to drive during the day
Отличный парк, приятные цены. Нам всё понравилось, особенно аттракционы для детей. Колесо обозрения, моё любимое развлечение, кабинки закрытые это не мало важно. Кассы тоже удобно распаложены, единственное ещё не усовершенствовать, систему , и приходится покупать билеты на каждый аттракцион. А так , всё прекрасно, спокойно.
I was on the Ferris wheel. I liked the trip, there were not many people on the holiday, in a closed booth 4,50BYN. The cabins, of course, are not as modern as in Moscow.
Парк классный, развлечений масса, аттракционы, едальни, сувенирные лавки все есть. Не удается мне покататься на колесе уже два года, часто очередь, а еще иногда он останавливается, староват прибор))) будьте аккуратнее если ко времени заказан ресторан колесо советую отложить на потом)))
A beautiful park in the center of Minsk, bike paths, attractions, playgrounds, cafes. Smoking, drinking and walking dogs are prohibited. I recommend it to everyone. Enjoy your stay
Были там совсем недавно, аттракционов много, все работают))) Ребенку очень понравился дикий поезд, если я правильно запомнила, и комната страха)) Рекомендую, есть места отдыха,если не хотите кататься на аттракционах, есть где перекусить семьёй,хорошо отдохнули, очереди хоть и большие в кассу,но очень шустрые,долго нигде не стояли.
It's very interesting, but the glass in the booths is cloudy, there are four open booths, they have a long queue and a separate payment, and it's awesome, the wheel is higher than in Grodno
Крутой парк аттракционов,очень понравилось колесо обозрения,54м и открытые кабинки,есть туалет,места где перекусить и посидеть,для детей много развлекалки
Парк хороший. Есть много интересных аттракционов для детей и взрослых. Мы посетили колесо обозрения в закрытой кабинке, так как были с маленькими детьми, в открытой конечно интереснее будет. Виды очень красивые открываются на Минск.
Long queues.
The Ferris wheel was closed due to the high temperature outside and the enclosed booths.
It was 26 on the street.
Open the cabins for the summer.
Не так много аттракционов как в парке Челюскинцев, снять стресс не получится) детский парк и мест для отдыха со слабоалкогольными напитками нет. Если ехать взрослой компанией, то только что бы прокатиться на Колесе Обозрения, 54 метра)) И конечно же лучше возьмите открытую кабинку)
Круто очень понравилось, особенно колесо обозрения с открытой кабинкой. Так же рядом река в которой плавают уточки и ещё фонтан который вечером подсвечивается.
Well, the park itself is small. Several attractions. If we talk about the Ferris wheel, then for a C...everything is fine, there are no complaints...small. there are a couple of open seats, not closed cabins, namely chairs. In those, most likely, the feeling is better) on the territory of the park you can have a snack, and so, in general, there is nothing much to do there. There is a Skif cafe in front of the central entrance to the park. I advise you to go there )
Популярное место. Аттракционы не новые, но исправные и пользуются спросом. Парк без особых изысков, но чистенький и опрятный. Можно сходить раз - другой с детками в охоточку.
Хороший парк ,много развлечений для детей )катались на колесе обозрения ,вид чудесный )своих денег стоит ,есть 4 открытые кабинки (для экстремалов) в дождь катались на закрытой и было хорошо
