 | Moscow Gorky Park Reviews | 1 - 10 of 18 |  |
Gorky Park stretches about 3 km along the banks of the Moskva river. It's a nice place to get away from all the city noise. During summer you can go on all kinds of amusement rides and in winter many paths get flooded and when it's cold enough you can ice-skate there.
Admission is 50 Roubles Leave a Comment

Gorky Park is Moscow's main park for fun. How could I forget some of those dodgy looking rides when I was there. A bungy jump that looked more like a certain death leap, and the Feris Wheel that looked like it was going to come off its moorings and start rolling on through the park! Hopefully safety standards have improved since my visit. Leave a Comment Directions: metro Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya. Gorky Park is situated south of central Moscow.

For a lot of years Gorky Park (or Cultural Park named in honour of the Soviet writer Gorky) was a usual place to visit during weekends for families with childrens, loving couples or just friends having a merry time there.
Big Wheel, switchback roads, swings and many other sideshows. Small cafes, ponds where it's possible to hire a boat or catamaran. During the winter park paths are covered with ice and becomes a place for skaters.
Coming to the park at summer keep in mind that besides the amusement park it's also the good place for walking with a lot of shadow green "corners" Leave a Comment Directions: metro Park Kultury, Oktyabrskaya to enter the park from the main entrance or metro Frunzenskaya to enter the park from the back entrance (from Neskuchny Sad)

Almost everybody seems to know the name Gorky Park, due to the famous thriller by Martin Cruz Smith.
The park was opened in 1928 as the first park of culture and rest in the Soviet Union. Nowadays it is an immense amusement park with all sorts of children's play areas and fun fairs.
I was quite surprised to find some discarded German funfairs here (e.g. Die Silbermine, das Traumschiff, die Fantastische Reise).
Directions:
Gorky Park is situated at the banks of the river Moskva, just southwest of the city centre. The nearest metro stops are Oktyabrskaya (brown line) or Park Kultury (red line). Leave a Comment

if you ever come to Moscow in winter i think you could have fun going ice skating, i've been very surprised to know that there is an artificial rink in Gorky Park located very close to that dirty small lake where in summer people experience bungy jumping. it's possible to rent skates (but please be sure these are not hockey skates if you prefere fugure ones of course!-which may happen because they dont have that many of figure skates..)-whole thing for 1 hour costs 300 rubles, approx. 10$

I am not sure that this is exactly a MUST see, but it seems that many people want to see it when they are here. It is a rather run down amusement park with many rides that don't look so safe to ride. Check out the seats in the roller coaster in the above picture!!! For rides that look safer try the All Russian Exposition center, Leave a Comment Directions: Get off at the Park Kultury (culture park) metro stop and go over the bridge. It will be on your right hand side (you don't need to cross the street!)

We had decided to go skating. So we headed over here and found a parking spot much more easily than one would have imagined. But the lines for skates (I didnt have my own) proved to be too long and we walked around and decided to move on. Leave a Comment

This picture is of a ferris wheel in the amusement bit of Gorky Park. Personally I wouldn't go on any of the rides, they look very rusty and a little unsafe. Leave a Comment

When I was there, there was not much life as it was still the end of winter. But I would still recommend visiting whatever time of the year. There is an ice skating pond as well as lots of fairground attractions. The photo is of a plaque outside the main gates. Leave a Comment
