How to plan a route: the optimal order of visiting zones

The park is huge - its area is 30,000 m², and without a plan it is easy to get tired or miss the most interesting things. Optimal route for families with children 3–10 years old:

1. Start with the Smeshariki zone — it is located closest to the main entrance and is suitable for children.
2. Go to "Fixiki" — there are fewer queues in the first half of the day.
3. After lunch, visit Madagascar — it’s best to leave the most extreme rides for later, when the children have already “warmed up.”
4. End the day in Hello Kitty — there is a calm atmosphere and many photo zones.

Time saving tips:

• 🗺️ Download interactive map of the park on your phone - it shows the current load of attractions.
• 🕒 Come to the opening (at 10:00) - there are almost no queues for the first 2 hours.
