Skating rink at VDNKh. Spend time wondering

Ice skating has long been considered one of the favorite winter entertainment. It is only necessary to get cold, as in all major cities in the world, central areas, lakes and rivers turn into huge ice rinks. For example, in Moscow you can visit a skating rink at VDNKh or on Red Square, in Paris, residents and guests happily go to the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and in New York the famous Rockefeller Center and Central Park are considered.

Section 1. Skating rink at VDNKh. Description and general information

It is hard to imagine that the area of this facility is 4.5 thousand square meters, and the capacity is about 5000 people daily.

Judging by the reviews of holidaymakers, the VDNKh rink can be considered quite an acceptable place for recreation of both the Muscovites themselves and numerous travelers.

Fill it in the central alley and no fee is charged. Of course, on such conditions, it is not worthwhile to expect that it will be polished or refilled. At the end of the season will have to settle for slightly spoiled by other skating ice.

But this is not really a reason for grieving. Firstly, the size of the rink is not inferior to the standard stadium track. Secondly, it is free, and this, you will agree, is a significant monetary saving when you rest with the whole family or a noisy company of friends. Thirdly, the place is perfectly illuminated, and the soundtrack is matched perfectly: classical music or "retro" style, as a rule, they suit everyone and do not irritate anyone.

And, probably, the most important thing. On a weekday, even in the evening, there are few people in most cases, so you can safely go there even with children or those adults who are still very uncertain about riding.

On your own car from the center. Traveling this way, you need to be extremely attentive and follow the road. Having passed the Alekseevskaya metro station, following the Mira Avenue, it is important to keep one of the two right rows. Otherwise, there is a huge probability that "flying off" to the flyover, the grief-driver will jump out of the tunnel only when the VDNKh and the hotel "Kosmos" remain far behind.

• By car from the Moscow Ring Road. To the right, it is best to turn right after the bridge over the Yauza river.
• By public transport. The transport interchange here is quite good, so you can easily get there by metro, bus, tram or trolleybus.
