      With a child in the rain: all day under a roof

      ⏱ 9 h🚶 2.5 km + 🚇🚕🍽 3📍 7 stops
      🐢 A little — under 3 km

      Grand Maket, sharks, a starry dome, steam locomotives and dinner at a food mall.

      👶 With kids☔️ If it rains
      👶 3–6, 7–12 years · ✓ stroller-friendly

      Strollers are allowed into Grand Maket, but at busy times you may be asked to leave yours in the parking area. At the Oceanarium the lift at the Marata Street entrance isn’t working at the moment — come in through the mall’s car park. Moskovskaya and Elektrosila have no lifts — better to go by tram, bus or taxi.
