Kickboxing, shooting and snow slopes: active pastimes for the whole family at the RUSSIA EXPO

There are many interesting activities for all tastes at the regional stands. But for the sporty family, there is a real treat here. You can go skiing and snowboarding, shoot, play hockey and even box.

Ski track simulator

One of the most spectacular simulators — a ski track simulator — is presented at the stand of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. Thanks to a special moving platform and a huge screen in front of it, you can dash down a mountain peak without leaving the pavilion. But be prepared that it is not easy at all and will require good physical preparation. But the sensations are inexpressible!

Snowboarding and hockey

If you prefer snowboarding rather than skiing, go to the Novosibirsk region’s stand. There you can ride a board on a snowy track thanks to a realistic simulator. You can also shoot a puck into a hockey goal and practice an uppercut on a punching bag, which will evaluate the strength of the blow.

Kickboxing and archery

At the stand of Kalmykia active boys and girls, as well as their parents can practice kickboxing on a unique simulator, which is used even by world-class athletes. For those who prefer intellectual sports, there are chess lessons. And you can also shoot a bow at a target: instead of arrows there will be suction cups, so even kids can try their hand.

Shooting in a shooting gallery

If you prefer a more modern weapon, check out the shooting range at the Chechnya exposition. Under the guidance of an instructor, you can hold a family marksmanship competition or simply shoot with different types of weapons.

Outdoor gym

Those who are ready to work up a serious sweat should go to the stand of the Krasnoyarsk region, where there are several exercise devices at once: a treadmill, an elipsis and a SUP-surfing board. And to make exercising more fun, large screens show beautiful views of nature. So you can combine your workout with a tour of the region’s protected areas.
