Izmailovsky Kremlin. Moscow.

Izmailovsky Kremlin. Moscow.

That day we planned a trip to the air show, but upon arrival it turned out that it was canceled. We did not get upset much and, after looking for the nearest attraction, decided to go to the Izmailovsky Kremlin)).

This place is very well known to guests of the capital, especially those who live in the Izmailovo hotel. A very budget, huge and decent hotel almost in the center of Moscow. My friends with children had a rest recently and were very satisfied.

So, I digress a little from the topic): Izmailovsky Kremlin is located within walking distance from this hotel.

The Kremlin is very bright and beautiful. The main part of the area is occupied by the fur market or rare products, which is probably very interesting to foreign guests.

Also on the territory of the Kremlin you can find original handicrafts or food products, such as huge vats with hot heated mulled wine, from which steam comes. It looks so appetizing that it is impossible to refuse)).

It was not easy to find a cafe suitable for children, but later we found stalls with quite tasty food.

There are many museums in the Izmailovo Kremlin. We wanted to quickly bypass them and then immediately leave for Izmailovsky Park, but then something went wrong)). We went to one museum ("Grandfather's Attic") and stayed there for more than 2 hours, so we didn't have enough strength for others).

The museum "Grandfather's Attic" consists of 2 parts: one has technical rarities, almost all of which can be touched. Children here can learn what a dial telephone machine means and even call a neighboring phone, finally learning how to use it)). There is a large railway where you can block the road, make signals. There was usually a whole crowd of boys there and they could not be torn away from this miracle)). I was captivated by gramophones). You turn on such a device and realize that this is a real device made for centuries and imagine how people once danced to it, how they were dressed, what kind of era it was. In general, the flight of fantasy is endless)))

Another part of the museum is dedicated to cosmonautics. The story about cosmonautics was very exciting. I recommend immediately taking chairs on excursions and sitting down, because it is difficult to stand for an hour, especially after the first part of the museum. The exposition is quite small, but it captures the setting and the story itself. The guide is a fan of his craft, the story was great)). By the way, I give you a hint, if your little children get a little tired of this tour, and you still want to stay, you can always return them to the first part of the museum and continue testing the disk phone, printing presses, and, of course, the railway yourself)).

 

I left there with a feeling of deep satisfaction that there are people who create pleasant and useful places for other people, and prioritize enrichment. This is very commendable.

According to the plan, I have other museums of the Izmailovo Kremlin. Tell me, please, which of them have you already been to and which one would you recommend?)
