Fantasy Grad Amusement Park
Children's theme park located in the Grinvich Mall is decorated to resemble a medieval settlement, which has its own king, flag, coat of arms, history and legend. In fact, this is a real city of craftsmen, where children from 5 to 14 under the guidance of experienced animators and teachers can master the basics of one of the thirty professions — from dentist to investigator. There is an observatory and a ballroom, a magician’s room and a captain's cabin, and even a craft shop. Children enjoy making their own pizza, ice cream, and cupcakes, playing musical instruments and singing in pop groups, drawing, and hunting treasures.

Heroes Park

This amusement park is designed as a meeting place of superheroes, most popular of whom — Batman, Hulk, Thor, and Spiderman — greet the visitors in the form of two meter tall statues, looking almost real, albeit not moving. The visitors are invited to a rope park, climbing wall, laser cube, and a maze. There’re also plenty of game machines and a special area for the youngest kids. The symbol of the park is a magic crystal, which gathered all the superheroes and continues to attract more. Three facets of the crystal are the three main strengths one
can improve here — body, mind, and soul.
