Given that Penza is about in the same climatic belt as Moscow, respectively, and weather conditions in this city are the same. When traveling to Penza, it is worth choosing a travel time precisely based on the comfortable weather for you. This is explained by the fact that there is no sea and there are no winter ski resorts. Therefore, it is possible to come to Penza only to walk around the city, it is possible to go to the temples or museums.
Trip to Penza Winter
So, a trip to the winter months will be more fun if you come for the New Year holidays, when the city is decorated with festive garlands, on the squares of the Christmas trees and ice slides are installed. Its gave way to universal fun and a good mood, you can even ride a slide yourself, or give to have fun to your children. However, there are such entertainment in almost every Russian city, so it's not necessary to go to this in Penza.The weather usually at this time has all the signs of the Russian winter - frost (from 0 and to 35 degrees), snow, ice or dirty porridge under the legs.
If you are interested in winter sports that you would like to do in this city, there are at your disposal city ice rollers where you can go skating. On the territory of the Penza region you can also ride on skiing or snowboard, but for this you will have to go beyond the city. Moreover, these places can not be called ski resorts, most likely, it's just small descents where local youth rides. The infrastructure is minimized or not equipped at all.
So lovers of active winter recreation can visit Penza and winter. Although, for sure, here you will not find something new for yourself, whatever the best of what is in your hometown.
Visit Penza in spring or autumn
Late spring or warm autumn, come for a walk in Penza will be a more pleasant pastime. Around the blooming flowers or falling yellow foliage that will create a better impression about the city.

If you visit the Penza at the end of October - November or March - early April, then, most likely, the city will seem too boring and gray. You will be surrounded by bad landscapes, the architecture of houses-high-rise buildings will also not add positive emotions. Everything is sad enough and everyday life, it will turn out that you will find yourself in the usual industrial city, what many on the map of Russia. Walking in groaning weather in the streets, where there is no significant sights, this is a lesson, just say, an amateur.
Summer holiday in Penza
It is best for the inspection of the city to come in the summer when urban parks, a botanical garden are open, an embankment of the river in the city center is revived. You can safely take a walk in the city yourself or with the children, sit in one of the cozy street cafes, consider Penza with great comfort.

Most likely, the prices for accommodation in the summer will be slightly expensive. But in winter they still do not enjoy views, so it's better to go, in any case, better in the warm season. Cafe prices can also be treated, but slightly.
When it is better to visit Penza with a child
If you are going to come to Penza with a child, I recommend considering only a warm period. Then you will at least, than to entertain the baby (walks, attractions, circus, zoo). True, in a circus and zoo, as well as the theater, you can go to any season, but you will agree, in the summer anyway more pleasant. In winter, in principle, too, there is something to do - go to the rink, ride off the slide, sit in a cafe to eat and warm up.
After a couple of years, the city authorities promise to build aquapark in Penza, then another place will appear where it is possible to go with children at any time of the year.
But in general, I can say that there is nothing fascinating in Penza, so it does not make sense to go here for several days in any month of the year.
