There are just a few days left until New Year’s Eve, yet there is still so much to do. For example, visit the National Centre RUSSIA. Choose a convenient day — we’ve prepared several great ideas for fun activities for the whole family.

To start, we recommend heading to the Library of the Future and the Hall of Inventions to learn how the ideas of sci-fi authors have materialized into modern inventions and technologies. For instance, the Strugatsky Brothers predicted the advent of the internet and first described neural networks, while the robot vacuum cleaner, without which many can’t imagine cleaning today, can still be found in the pages of books about the adventures of the little-known character, Neznaika.

During the tour, be sure to take a memorable photo. In anticipation of the New Year, guests have been provided with special locations for bright and festive photography — for example, near decorated mirrors or Christmas trees. You can also take striking photos with the main piece of the "Legacy for the Future" exposition — the "Son of the Earth," a miniature replica of the famous sculpture by Chinese artist Dong Shubing, dedicated to responsible attitudes towards nature and the responsibility for future generations. You can also capture shots against installations like "Crossing Borders" or "Among Echoes."

In the café of the National Centre, you can try our festive poppy seed bagel with various toppings of your choice. In the sweets department of the Department Store, treat yourself to chocolates with unique flavors, classic gingerbread, and natural marshmallows. Additionally, in the Department Store, you can buy souvenirs to keep for yourself and find gifts for friends and loved ones for the New Year.

If you’re looking for exciting activities, in the Future Professions gaming zone, every guest, regardless of age, can feel like a child and transform into a fearless engineer of a lunar station or a spaceship pilot. You can also explore future professions and become an exoskeleton operator engineer, and most importantly, send a wonderful greeting to loved ones in the interactive "Greetings from Space" photo zone.

Free guided tours are available to guests, as well as self-guided exploration of the National Centre’s expositions.
