        ✨ City Farm at VDNKh
        пр-т Мира, 119, стр. 45 (ВДНХ)
        🎟 ticket
        A city farm at VDNKh with farm animals and poultry, pens and workshops for kids.
        The farm opens at 10:30, and on weekday mornings there's almost no one. Many animals roam free — feed them only with the food sold at the farm. There is a playground of its own by the ticket offices.

        • The farm opened in early September 2015 next to Pavilion No. 44, "Rabbit Breeding".
        • The farm was designed by the Wowhaus bureau — the authors of the Krymskaya Embankment.
        • The neighboring Rabbit Breeding pavilion was built by 1954; a rabbit farm with animals from the Union's best collective farms operated there.
        • In the pavilion's niches stand figures of girls holding rabbits, and the frieze is decorated with scenes from rabbits' lives after drawings by Vasily Vatagin.
        • Since 2015 the Rabbit Breeding pavilion has been a cultural heritage site of federal significance.

        пр-т Мира, 119, стр. 25 (ВДНХ, у павильона «Нефть»)
        🆓 free entry
        A playground shaped like an oil refinery, with derricks and pipes: slides, mazes, trampolines and interactive panels.
        Slides, rockers and the oil platform; there is a separate mini-slide for toddlers. It's a 10-minute walk from the farm past the ponds.
        📖 More about the placeCollapse
        • The playground has more than 20 play elements, including the "Offshore Oil Platform", "Fuel Tanker" and "Racing Car" complexes.
        • The neighboring Pavilion No. 25 was built in 1953–1954 for the "Sugar Beet" exhibition — the pediment is still decorated with molded beet stalks and leaves.
        • The pavilion took up the oil theme in 1958, and from 1964 it was called "Oil Industry".
        • In Soviet years an outdoor area with models of oil-extraction equipment operated next to the pavilion.
        • After the 2017–2019 restoration an interactive exhibition, "Oil", opened in the pavilion.
