Nizhny Novgorod is something from history, schoolchildren will tell you if you share your family vacation plans with them. They will remember Prince Yuri Vsevolodovich, the Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal Grand Duchy, the people's militia led by Minin and Pozharsky.
Nizhny Novgorod is Gorky, parents who remember Soviet times well will tell you, a closed city, the center of the automobile and defense industries. And this is the center of the Volga region, the third capital, the pocket of Russia - so says Wikipedia.
What’s interesting is that all this is true and it all exists at the same time: in the form of ancient buildings, monuments or multimedia installations in the museum-reserve. Only the city has ceased to be closed - now everyone comes here.
Are you ready to find out why holidays with children in Nizhny Novgorod are no less interesting than in the first and second capitals of Russia? We have collected all the information about the main museums and the best entertainment in the city.

The cost of a ticket for a child is from 500 rubles (up to 4 years old) to 1200 (if you do not have a work record book) for older children, and 0 for an adult. From time to time there are promotions from KidBurg itself (for current prices and promotions, see the website of the Nizhny Novgorod city of professions. At the beginning, our child wanted to go there (we used to go there in Moscow), but then he lost some interest.

At the beginning of 2015, a small water park “Atoll” opened near Nizhny Novgorod in the satellite town of Kstovo. If this is the closest one to you and the child is relatively small, then most likely you won’t be sorry for the money spent. For adults it is no longer so interesting, except that only the Russian steam room, hammam and sauna with cold baths will be of interest. There is nowhere to swim, the wave bowl is very small. There is a conditionally wellness zone with jets in the back, from below. There is some sort of jacuzzi for 4 people at the far end by the stairs to the slides.

Museums
- The first place, of course, is occupied by “Quarks - Museum of Entertaining Sciences,” which is in the Fair building, on Lenin Square (since 2016 it moved to Kazanskoe Highway, and then to Rodionova). The child learns the physics of different sections in a playful way. Relatively inexpensive. You can take pictures. There is room to move around.
- Next in our ranking is Victory Park (Nizhny Novgorod) with a museum of military equipment on the Rowing Canal. Here is a playground where children can play war, tag and other outdoor games, and climb (although not all) the exhibits. In winter, the child will be dirtier, but he will not have to drown in snowdrifts. (Address: Nizhny Novgorod, Grebnoy embankment)
- If it’s difficult to get to “Victory Park”, and the child doesn’t mind climbing on tanks and Katyushas, then you can bring him to the Kremlin . The exhibition of military equipment here is poorer, but there is the upper part of a submarine . And in general, the Kremlin is, after all, the main attraction of Nizhny Novgorod. Available in both winter and summer. (Address: Minin and Pozharsky square)
- You can learn (touch, look) something about the history of ancient Rus' in the museum of the Shchelkovo farm, where real monuments of Russian wooden architecture are presented: houses, barns, a mill, churches, barns. (Address: Nizhny Novgorod, Gorbatovskaya st., 41). You can ride huskies on one of the Shchelkovo lakes, but it would be better to get there by car.
- A little-known, but unique for Russia, tram museum, which actually has trolleybuses
. However, it is better to get there using the cafe excursion tram. You won’t be able to run around much, but you can easily look at the first electric transport. (Address: Nizhny Novgorod, General Ivliev St., 1) - There is also a museum of Russian steam locomotives in Nizhny Novgorod. It is just not very well located on Sortirovka. There are no signs, but in my article there is a guide with a description of the locomotives. This is where you can climb all the exhibits! Open in winter too. (Address: Nizhny Novgorod, Arkhangelskaya St., 1)
- In addition to “Quarks,” you can go to Sormovo to the “Sunny City” museum and learn about physics and other subjects in a playful way there. Nowadays, interesting master classes are held there. (Address: Nizhny Novgorod, Chaadaeva St., 5D)
- And also, regarding the sciences and history of radio, we recommend visiting the Nizhny Novgorod Radio Laboratory museum, but be sure to take a tour, since it is inexpensive there.
- It’s not exactly a museum, it’s even closer to cinemas, but it’s fun to go to the Nizhny Novgorod Planetarium. There, children have performances with cartoons on the dome of the large hall. (Address: Nizhny Novgorod, Revolutionary street, 20)
- We can’t help but mention Arsenal , a center for contemporary art in the Kremlin, where children can take part in interesting master classes. (Address: Arsenal, Nizhny Novgorod, Kremlin, building 6)
- There is also a toy museum in Nizhny Novgorod on Pokrovka, where it’s true that you can no longer play the “ancient” slot machine - a sea battle, but only look at the typical set of toys of a Soviet schoolchild of the 20th century. (Address: Nizhny Novgorod, B. Pokrovskaya st.,
- But I liked the Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors, located below the toy museum, more. In addition to the mirrors themselves, there is a small interactive with “immersion” in a fairy tale. (Address: Nizhny Novgorod, B. Pokrovskaya st.,
- The so-called GAZ Museum (Nizhny Novgorod) will be of interest with an exhibition of automotive equipment. For some time now it has been open on Saturdays too ! (Address: Nizhny Novgorod, Lenin Ave., 95)
- There is also a technical museum on Bolshaya Pokrovskaya. If your child is interested in the history of production equipment and tools, then you can look at machine tools, phonographs and other calipers. (Address: Nizhny Novgorod, Bolshaya Pokrovskaya st., 43)

- Less often, and mainly because of the laser tag and cars, we went to a similar one in the Indigo shopping center. Instead, it is now a very children's center, in which there is no place for laser tag (((
- But even in Nizhny Novgorod there was a small zoo “Switzerland” in the park of the same name along Gagarin Avenue. CLOSED . the Switzerland park itself , at the Meditsinskaya and Surikov stops, there are many attractions and children's playgrounds. I would especially like to highlight the large children's playground from the Naked Heart Foundation. It works in winter, but not in the same mode as in summer.
There is also a small article on the blog reviewing Nizhny Novgorod zoos and animal exhibitions, in particular about the interesting exhibition “Exotarium“.
And there is also an article about the benefits, including for children, of playing badminton.

Nizhny Novgorod was built at the confluence of the Oka and Volga rivers in the 13th century.
At that time, it was a border fortress - it protected the capital from Tatar raids. The city attracted merchants; some of the largest fairs were held here. Soon Nizhny Novgorod became the main shopping center. The city's former glory is preserved in the streets. A stone fortress, an embankment with ancient buildings and the Nizhny Novgorod fair. The history of the city can be studied both at historical sights and in museums.
Nizhny Novgorod is ideal for a family holiday. Here you can combine business with pleasure: stroll through historical places and relax with your children. For little travelers there is everything: a zoo, a water park, a dolphinarium, a cable car and a children's railway. The choice is yours!

Cafes and restaurants where a child will not be bored
Places where you can have a good meal, but at the same time keep your child occupied with something. At the moment, all cafes with children's rooms that we wrote about are closed (((
- CLOSED . The café-restaurant “ To Visit ”, on Rozhdestvenskaya Street, 37, has a playroom with soft toys. Here, middle-aged children can pass the time while waiting for their order while playing on the console. Well, or watching others play, if you’re unlucky and the console is busy. The check for Nizhny Novgorod is average. The cuisine is normal, nothing outstanding, but nothing to complain about.
- CLOSED . At the moment, of the “tested” ones, perhaps the one most suitable for the label “children’s cafe” is the “Kompot” cafe. Not located in the center, but not too far from it. They position themselves as a family business. Prices are closer to the restaurant. Not just a small corner with a couple of toys, but a specialization for visitors with children.
- CLOSED . On the historical Rozhdestvenskaya street in Nizhny Novgorod there is a cafe “Paparazzi”, which has good beer, tasty food and a large selection of games, pencils and, most likely, the child will not get bored.
