How to spend the weekend so that in one day you can learn a lot of new things, see unusual exhibitions, and go on a virtual journey across the country? Let’s go to Zaryadye Park. Here you can explore the secrets of genetics, get acquainted with rare plants, see Russia from Kaliningrad to Kamchatka, and experience art in its many forms.
To see the flora of Russia without soil
More than 250 species of plants from various parts of the country — from Kaliningrad to Sakhalin — are collected in the “Protected Embassy” pavilion. Here, medicinal, rare decorative, and heraldic plants coexist. Both the collection itself and the cultivation method are interesting: the “Florarium” uses aeroponics — roots obtain nutrients from an aerosol, and soil is not needed. You can get acquainted with this unusual technology and see how modern solutions help grow plants. Tickets are available in the service “Mosbilet”.
Three exhibitions — one ticket
Why choose one exhibition when you can visit three at once? Comprehensive ticket opens access to the exhibitions of the art space “Parking Gallery,” which introduce the history, contemporary art, and current cultural trends.
“Memorial. Collection” — a meeting with outstanding compatriots in an unusual format. Hyperrealistic sculptures of Peter I, Alexander Pushkin, Yuri Gagarin, Vladimir Vysotsky, and many others create the effect of a personal acquaintance with heroes of the past and present.
“Class of ’26” — an opportunity to see what the new generation of artists is living through. The exhibition features diploma works of graduates from 30 Moscow universities: painting, sculpture, photography, design, video art, fashion, and other directions.
Exhibition VII Moscow Art Prize — the best projects in the fields of visual arts, architecture, music, cinema, theater, and literature, created over the past year and a half in Moscow, about Moscow, and for Moscow. Here you can get acquainted with the works of authors shaping the contemporary cultural agenda.
Set off on a virtual journey across Russia
From the Kola Peninsula to Kamchatka, from the Volga delta to the Putorana Plateau — the film “Russia. A Virtual Journey” unites nine unique natural sites of the country. Without leaving Moscow, viewers will be able to closely observe the life of guillemots and nerpa seals, see the blooming of lotuses, and watch the formation of clouds over Ai-Petri. This is an opportunity to look at both familiar and unexplored Russia from an unexpected angle and discover the beauty of natural landscapes.
Tickets can be purchased through the service “Mosbilet”.
Discover the secrets of “Zaryadye” on a tour
Even if you have already visited Zaryadye, the park has something to surprise you with. During the guided tour, you can learn how this unusual place was created, what its layout features are, and what engineering solutions lie behind the striking architectural objects. The route includes the floating bridge, the glass bark, and pavilions. It will also cover the old Moscow district of Zaryadye. A good way to see the park as an independent attraction with a rich history.
Tickets — in the service Mosbilet.
Unravel the mysteries of DNA
What do humans and their distant ancestors have in common? How is DNA structured, and is it possible to bring extinct animals back to life? In the popular science program, participants will understand how genes work and how proteins are created according to genetic instructions. They will also examine biological structures under a microscope with 400x magnification, assemble a DNA model, decode its sequence, and study chromosomes. It’s a great opportunity to feel like a researcher and learn how life is organized at the molecular level.
