Spectacular shows, mysterious adventures, time travel, and knowledge that will be useful in lessons. “Mosbilet” presents new selection for schoolchildren of all ages and their parents. It contains original ideas for family leisure during the holidays.
Hot air balloon flights, troubadour songs, and scarlet sails
For new impressions and a good mood during school holidays, you can go to theaters under the jurisdiction of the capital Department of Culture.
Adventure lovers will enjoy the Moscow Puppet Theater. A play is running here “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. Schoolchildren and their parents are invited on a journey along the yellow brick road. Viewers will learn why all the residents of the Emerald City wear green glasses and how a little girl freed two countries from evil spells. The performance will feature magic tricks, hot air balloon flights, and dazzling stunts.
A cheerful musical performance will tell about friendship “The Bremen Town Musicians” at the State Academic Mossovet Theater. The production is based on the libretto by Vasily Livanov, Yuri Entin, and the music of Gennady Gladkov; it tells the story of the adventures of the Troubadour, his beloved Princess, and their loyal friends — Donkey, Dog, Cat, and Rooster. The performance will interest even those kids who prefer spending time on their phones rather than in the auditorium. The main characters play musical instruments, joke around, throw pillows at each other, pretend to be foreigners, and wear stylish costumes. The Princess in a rocker dress is a rebel, and the musicians and Troubadour are real stars who prefer striking stage images.
Equally interesting are productions based on works from the school curriculum. They allow you to have an engaging time and simultaneously prepare for literature lessons. For example, the Moscow Children’s Musical and Dramatic Theatre “Generation” presents a musical performance “Scarlet Sails” based on the novella of the same name by Alexander Grin. The audience will see a new interpretation of the familiar story about kindness, love, justice, and courage. Director Oleg Ilyin combined the dramaturgy of the literary text with its musical accompaniment, adding visual effects, dance numbers, and unusual decorations.

The world of fauna can also be explored in Moskvarium at VDNH — one of the largest aquariums in Europe. Its collection includes about 12 thousand inhabitants — from capybaras, crocodiles, and otters to jellyfish, piranhas, and giant arapaimas, a genus that appeared back in the time of dinosaurs. All inhabitants can be seen through huge aquarium glass panels. On Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, divers descend into the main aquarium of the exhibition and hand-feed the sand sharks. A huge stingray also swims up for a treat. It never misses lunch.

You can see the grown-up panda Katyusha and her parents Dindin and Zhui, the symbol of the zoo — the Pallas’s cat Timofey, playful Malayan bears, graceful penguins, snow leopards, the beaked whale, rare radiated tortoises, and other animals. There are many interesting indoor pavilions on the territory, where it is comfortable in any weather. Autumn is an excellent time to study those who live here.
