Visit Ded Moroz and Pechkin: Novo-Prostokvashino at VDNH
See a modern village: cozy and technological. Try your hand at farming and take part in quests. Or maybe just walk around the beautiful territory, go fishing, and in the evening listen to live music and dance? A unique space Novo-Prostokvashino is open at the International RUSSIA EXPO.
In fact, the urban farm at VDNH has existed for several years. After the opening of the exposition you can get there absolutely free of charge. In addition, Novo-Prostokvashino is one of the locations of the exposition "Eat Our Own!" from the Ministry of Agriculture. Here you can buy farm products at a low price, and also have a cheap snack: 5 rubles for a berry morsel, 30 rubles for a delicious belyash.
Besides tasty food there is a lot of interesting things here. First, all guests can become participants of the quest: you just need to get a special map and instructions at the entrance. Then you need to find locations and perform tasks, for example, listen to a lecture and answer questions. And also, the quest participants will meet the director of Novo-Prostokvashino - strict but charming mailman Pechkin.
"There are two quests, one is simpler, for its completion you get a mug, and for a more complex one you get bigger prizes. I liked the fact that during the quest you can try what it is like to live in the village and do farming, you can even start your own business", — Albina Muskina shares her impressions.
If you want a relaxing vacation, go fishing, you will be given a fishing rod, and you can take everything you catch back home. And what kind of farm is there without animals? In Novo-Prostokvashino you can see, feed and pet a variety of animals: alpacas, cows, donkeys, rabbits and even a deer.
Also be sure to take a walk around the territory after 16 o'clock. At dusk, the village lights up with beautiful illuminations and the atmosphere becomes truly fairytale. Moreover, the local residence of Ded Moroz and Snegurochka is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so you can visit the winter wizard, chat and make a wish.
Pavilion P is open every day except Monday, you can come from 10:00 to 21:00 from Tuesday to Thursday, and from Friday to Sunday it is open until 22:00.
