Aviapark
Aviapark is a shopping center which is placed a few kilometers away from the center of Moscow. Aviapark consists of 54 cafes and restaurants which can accommodate 3,300 guests at a time, 310 shops, largest smart parking in Moscow, highest vertical 370 000 liter aquarium with over 2500 fish, and a cinema with 17 screening rooms. This makes Aviapark the largest shopping center in Europe but although this may already seem quite fascinating for tourists so far, there are so many more things to do and to be part of with your entire family.
KIDS: For kids, you will be able to find a fantastic park with an incredible desire. The park is called KidZania. KidZania was initially founded in Mexico in 1999. Today the parks are open for children worldwide: from Japan to Mexico, from Russia to Chile. When children visit KidZania, they see a hospital, a university, a theater — everything that you can see in a real city. “Children can come and try out lots of different professions. In fact, they are capable of many incredible things: they can fly a plane, make TV shows, become firefighters, conduct research in the lab, go on secret missions and perform on stage.” (Kidzania, 2017). If you would like to find out more about the park and whether it is really something your child would like to do, have a look at the video below and maybe even show it to your child.

WHOLE FAMILY: Kids (as well as parents and other family members) may also be interested visiting a restaurant called “Monster Hills’. “On the planet Monster Hills everything is different, the food there is absolutely not the same as on Earth. The chef, Konstantin Ivlev, guarantees that for you. Konstantin, who is usually specializing in traditional Russian dishes, is now experimenting not only with recipes, but also with the form and serve. Aromatic pizza, delicious steaks, cooked on an open fire, a selection of Russian and European cuisine in Monster Hills will surprise not only by its elegance, but also by a "horrible" original design” (www.monsterhills.com)
TEENS: For teenagers, there are all 310 shops available for shopping as well as some of “teen favorite” cafes and restaurants such as: Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Shake Shack, New York Pizza, MacDonald’s, KFC, Burger King, Baskin Robbins & Tutti Frutti (frozen yogurt). Teenagers can also enjoy ice skating in the ice-skating ring, watch a movie at the cinema, go karting and even try out how it is to fly by going to the “I Can Fly” aerodynamic tunnel (which lately has been one of the most popular activities all over the world).
If you are a teen who is more interested in fun games, check out park “Klaustrofobia”. “The park will become a perfect place for fans of action games and for all who would like to try themselves in new roles. Here you can realize your dreams together with your children: to open the door to the fabulous world and even to meet with Dracula. For one hour spent in the park, you can easily feel yourself like a superhero, and it can be real in "parallel reality"”.
PARENTS & GRANDPARENTS: For parents and grandparents, again, there are all of the 310 shops available and there are plenty of restaurants with traditional kitchen such as: Greek, Italian, Uzbek (considered to be one of Russia’s favorite), Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, and Japanese, American, and lastly Russian.
If you come from Europe and you want to try something new yet very delicious, try the Uzbek kitchen or the Russian kitchen since both are very unique and are Russia’s most loved kitchens.
If you are a more of an active parent, you can of course do activities that I have suggested for teenagers to do but you can also hit one of the gyms which are well equipped if you’ve lately been feeling the need of some exercise. You can check one of the gyms which is called “Zavod”. “Zavod” is a specialized CrossFit Gym. CrossFit is a comprehensive system of physical training, which consists of constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity.
And if you are a parent/grandparent interested in art, you may also check out The hall of the exhibition BOSCH: “Visions Alive introduces the show with all available information about Bosch’s life and career, including least plausible theories”.
WHOLE FAMILY: For the entire family, one of the funnest yet calm and educational activities is a family game - “Chocolate Factory”. Family game "Chocolate Factory" - a gaming attraction for children from 3 years old and their parents. In Game 2 route. On each route, you can visit the 3 factory workshop. Each workshop - it is a game room with an original scenario and magical décor. The game can be played with the whole family or to entrust the child wizard-animator. If the attraction is completed, each child can be carried out as much candy as fit in your hands!
