On the street with the poetic name, the flower is located "Grand Mock Russia". On an area of more than 800 square meters. M is represented by our entire country from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok on a scale of 1:87. The layout does not repeat exactly the map of Russia, it only selectively displays its most beautiful and interesting corners, emphasizes all the variety of nature and life of people. Little men are engaged in their affairs, trains are delivered by passengers and cargo throughout the country, rockets and airplanes are preparing for flight, large cruise liners and more modest vessels are mastered by endless water expanses. Anyone, for sure, will meet here a character like himself. Every 13 minutes the night replaces the day. Of particular interest are interactive buttons, giving starts to some action, say, fire extinguishing. By the way, the photo and video shooting is not prohibited, and even welcomed, apparently, the creators of the exhibition are not devoid of vanity. On the first floor you can watch the work of the masters, with the love of creating this beauty.
There is rolled binoculars and audio guides. Works a cozy cafe and souvenir shop. At the entrance you will be offered to hand over the wardrobe and large bags, clean your shoes. This is not only for your convenience, but also for the best layout preservation. Ticket price for adults 400-450 rubles, for children 200-250. It is better to visit on weekdays and cheaper and more spacious, and you don't have to stand at the cashier, since the bandwidth of the museum is limited. There is an inexpensive guarded parking, but also hiking tourists will not be difficult, 10 minutes from the subway.
By the way, "Grand Mock Russia" is the second largest in the world and the largest layout of the country, and this is another reason for pride!
