Gorky Park is just 5 kilometers away from the heart of Moscow.

The park is one of the most popular attractions in Moscow. It draws in an average of 20,000 people daily. It features a business area, an outdoor movie theater, observatory, cafes, bars, restaurants, and a greenhouse where you can buy fresh produce. It also showcases an indoor and an outdoor sports center where you can enjoy a variety of activities including handball, football, volleyball, roller blading, or cycling. And that’s not all, lessons on aerobics, dancing, and yoga is offered too. Kids will have a fantastic time in Gorky Park with its three kids' clubs where they can enjoy art classes from a master, and a number of kid-friendly activities. A large skating rink is available during winter for kids of all ages!
