      A taxi or surface transport along Krymsky Val is more convenient to reach Muzeon. Syrovarnya has no kids' room. Neskuchny Garden has steep slopes — stay on the embankment.

        🌳 Muzeon Art Park
        🚪 entrance from Krymsky Val
        A sculpture park on the embankment by Krymsky Bridge: Soviet monuments taken off their pedestals, and contemporary sculpture.

        • The Salyut playground opened in 2018 — the park's 90th anniversary year.
        • It is called the country's biggest play complex: nine zones for play with sand, water, sound, color and shape.

        • There is a water mill and a dinosaur skeleton dig in the sand.
        • The children's theme here is long-standing: on the park's opening day, 12 August 1928, it already had a Children's Town and a nursery.
