Where to go with a child on July 9. All Entertainment

Scroll down to the end and you will find here a list of places to go with your child in Moscow on weekends. There are an unimaginable number of them! The main question in this case is what to choose. After all, in the capital almost every day they hold wonderful events for children in a variety of entertainment genres. These are circus performances, performances, thematic excursion programs, expositions in museums, and much more.

In this article, we will outline directions that will help you organize an independent vacation for your child and tell you where to go with your child in the city of Moscow on weekends and holidays.

Go with your child to the circus and Moscow theaters for children

Going to the theater with your child on weekends or weekdays is not only an opportunity to please your child, but also to please the child who is inside you. Of course, theatrical performances for adults will not be entirely appropriate in this case, but a visit to a puppet or other children's theater will be the right choice.

Thus, the children's book theater with the fabulous name "Children's Lamp" is included in the list of the best highly professional Russian puppet theaters. His repertoire includes performances based on the works of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, Hans Christian Anderson, Rudyard Kipling, Samuil Marshak and many other children's authors.

Another famous puppet theater in Moscow, where you should definitely go with your child on holidays or weekends, is the puppet theater named after. Sergei Obraztsov. It is here, according to experts, that almost the best collection of dolls in the world is collected! Children and adults will get an unforgettable experience not only thanks to the skill of local artists and puppets lovingly patronized by them, but also thanks to the technical equipment of the theater: transforming walls, surround sound and even a sliding curtain. The repertoire includes a sufficient number of fairy-tale productions that are familiar to many from their childhood.

The Russian Youth Theatre, known as the RAMT, was created in 1921, taking into account the fact that it was children who were to become its main audience. Thus, at that time it was both the first and the only children's theater in Soviet Russia. This orientation has been partly preserved, and today the theater shows young visitors both fairy tales familiar from childhood, and more serious things for children, including folklore and classical works.

Of course, our review would be incomplete if we did not talk about the circuses of Moscow, which both a child and an adult want to go to with joy.

In the arsenal of the latter there are 5 changing arenas, among which there are even water and ice ones. Both circuses are widely known far beyond the borders of our country.
