Tambov is a cute old town located in the southeast direction from Moscow. It is located on the banks of the Tsni River. The weather conditions in the city are wonderful. Spring comes early here. Warm sunny days last from April to October inclusive, providing parents with an excellent opportunity to spend time with their children in the fresh air. Where can you go with your child in Tambov so that he will find it interesting and his parents won’t get bored? The answer to this question largely depends on the age of your dear child. We offer a brief overview of the most popular places aimed at schoolchildren and preschoolers.
Zoo
We decided to start our story with this very kind and sincere place, where both children of all ages and their parents like it. The zoo has no name. It is organized at Tambov University named after Derzhavin and is located on Moskovskaya Street, building 10a. The location was chosen on the outskirts of the city to make the animals as comfortable as possible. Many parents don’t think about where to go with their child in Tambov, since the zoo has long become their favorite vacation spot. It is not very large in scale. The animals here are kept in ordinary cages and enclosures, which do not imitate their habitat. But parents report that all the animals are clean and well-groomed and look very happy with their lives. Here you can admire predators, birds, monkeys, and various ungulates. The zoo also has an exoterarium where reptiles, spiders, and exotic insects are kept.
Many rave reviews are devoted to the “evil” Tambov wolf. This predator allows an ordinary cat, who regularly visits its cage, to eat from its bowl. There are other unusual inhabitants in the zoo, and once you get to know them, you can easily make your choice of where to go with your child in Tambov. If the weather is good, then only go to this zoo.
The townspeople recommend visiting this place because here you are allowed to feed many animals (food for them is sold on the premises), and you can take pictures with some of them.
Parks
Many parents prefer to relax with their children in city parks. There are exactly 11 of them in Tambov. Each park is attractive in its own way, each has shady alleys and comfortable benches. You can even walk here with babies. The central city park is chosen by many mothers and fathers when deciding where to take a walk with their child in Tambov.
Firstly, it is very conveniently located - between the Tsni River canal and Sovetskaya Street. This is the city center, so you can get here by many minibuses and buses.
Secondly, there is entertainment for children of all ages. There are dozens of attractions and children's playgrounds for them. There is a cafe in the park where you can taste delicious ice cream. Many people like that there is a suspension bridge that allows you to cross to the other side of the river.
Victory Park is another place worthy of attention. There is an exhibition of military equipment here, which is interesting for all boys to see. In addition, a large children's playground with attractions and a colorful playground have been built here. The park is located along Michurinskaya Street. This is the northern part of Tambov.
Rope rides
Where can you go with your child in Tambov if he is no longer interested in riding the carousel? Rope parks are an excellent option for such children. Here they can show their dexterity, courage and strength. There are several similar activity centers in Tambov, but many citizens advise going to Sosnovy Ugol Park. It is located on the territory of the camp site of the same name in a pretty pine forest. You can get there by bus number 129a.
Even not very active citizens can have a great rest here. They can enjoy walking along the paths, beautiful views and healing aromas. And for the active and brave, a 200-meter long track has been built in the park. It is located at a height of 3 to 7 meters. A ticket for one pass costs 200 rubles. Children of any age can show their skills, but their height must be at least 1.4 m. These are the rules.
Reviews about this park are only rave. Often the route is visited not only by young daredevils, but also by their parents.
Another rope ride is located on the territory of the Druzhba forest park. It's called "World of Adventure". There are 4 trails of varying difficulty developed here.
Those who have already been here recommend taking sports shoes with you that fit securely on your feet. Experienced people also advise taking gloves, because the ropes are quite tough.
Karting center
This is another place to go in Tambov with a child who is already 7 years old. It's called . It is located at Brigadnaya Street, building 3. A ticket costs 200 rubles for 5 minutes of karting control. For 10 minutes of driving you need to pay 300 rubles. Some may find it very expensive, but driving a real race car is worth it. This is what all the boys who managed to get behind the wheel think so.
"Mirror Maze"
Where to go in Tambov with a child who is not interested in racing, for example with a girl? Many citizens recommend visiting the “Mirror Labyrinth” attraction, which is located on the third floor of McDonald’s, which is located on Entuziastov Boulevard (city transport stop “Apparatus”). The attraction occupies one large room, in which dozens of mirrors are installed. Their multiple reflections form bizarre labyrinths from which you need to find a way out.
The ticket price is only 200 rubles, but there are often promotions where you can visit the maze for 100 rubles. At the entrance, everyone is given shoe covers and gloves, so the place is always very clean, and there is not a single stain on the mirrors. In their reviews, parents write that they and their children really enjoyed visiting this unusual attraction.
Summer is approaching the equator, the weather is warm and many city residents are finally waiting for their vacation. If you are tormented by the question of how to spend the summer in the city so that it is definitely remembered, this instruction is for you.
So, how do you fill the 60 remaining warm, sunny days of summer with unforgettable events? Even if you are not planning a trip to the sea and have already re-read all the books and hoed all the beds at the dacha, the summer of 2018 can be special. There is more than enough entertainment in the city. We have compiled a checklist for you - a list of what you need to do in the summer in Tambov. Go!
1. Eat cotton candy and look at the city from the height of the Ferris wheel.
Those who have small children are frequent guests of the Tambov Culture and Recreation Park. For little Tambov residents there is entertainment for every taste, but if you are no longer a child, perhaps you have not looked here for a long time. But in vain! The main park of the city becomes more and more beautiful every year: colorful tiles, green alleys, bright attractions - all this is a wonderful backdrop for a great time. Buy cotton candy (in different colors!), soft ice cream and go to the Ferris wheel or spin on “shells”, shoot at a shooting range and go to the horror room (maybe it’s really scary there?) What’s not the scenario for a wonderful summer weekend?
The price of one attraction is within 100 rubles.
2. Take a ride along the river on a pleasure boat.
Here's an idea for the hottest days. A boat ride along the Tsna River canal will add some coolness to the summer heat and allow you to admire the beauty of the city from a new perspective. This service has been available in Tambov for quite some time, and the price of the pleasure is quite reasonable - 200 rubles per person. Those who want to relax with a large group can rent a boat for a few hours. The city in the sunset rays, warm wind, splashes of water – a great picture, isn’t it? Then be sure to go to the Embankment and have an unforgettable summer evening.
3. Ride a bike or rollerblade through the green spaces of Druzhba Park
How about active recreation? If you don’t have your own sports equipment, but want to ride your bike through picturesque places, rental will come to the rescue. Surely, almost every Tambov resident has already visited the renovated Druzhba Park. There are all conditions for active recreation. Spend the day in the fresh air, recharge yourself in a great mood and tone your body.
Rental cost: from 100 to 250 rubles
4. Rent a boat or catamaran and go on a “big” voyage along Tsna
Another idea for hot days is to go on a solo river cruise.
Catamaran or boat? What will you choose: to pump up your arms or legs? Sail away to wherever you want, land on a deserted beach, sunbathe and swim - this is a real summer thrill! You can rent a watercraft on one of the Tambov beaches, for example, on Parus.
5. Have a picnic in the meadow next to the Laskovsky quarry
Checkered blankets, colorful cups, light snacks - a cute summer picnic is ready. After swimming in the quarry and warming up in the sun, in the evening you can move to the meadows located on the way to the quarry from Victory Park. This cozy place away from the roads and city bustle will give you the atmosphere of a calm and relaxed summer holiday.
6. Visit one of the attractions of the Tambov region
If you don’t have the opportunity or desire to travel to distant lands this summer, then it’s time to explore the expanses of your native land. You'll be surprised how close interesting attractions are. Visit the House-Museum of A. M. Gerasimov in Michurinsk, where a wonderful collection of the artist’s works is collected. Or go with the whole family to the Museum-Estate of S.V. Rachmaninov in Ivanovka. Even a day trip to a new place has the potential to turn into a real summer adventure.
7. Try something new - wakeboarding
For extreme sports enthusiasts, Tambov also has something to do. In Laskovsky quarry you can try wakeboarding. This is an extreme sport that combines elements of water skiing slalom, acrobatics and jumping. Wakeboarding has similarities to snowboarding, skateboarding and surfing and is one of the growing sports and recreational activities. Classes with an instructor take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., although the cost varies—on weekdays 1,000 rubles, on weekends 1,500.
8. Go to morning yoga outdoors
For those who prefer calmer sports, there is the opportunity to engage in their physical and spiritual development with the help of yoga. Summer Health Days are held in Aseev Manor Park from July 1 to September 9. You have a unique opportunity to start every Sunday with an outdoor yoga class.
Classes are conducted by Integrative Kundalini Yoga and Yoga Nidra trainer, psychologist Natalia Abakumova. You can make an appointment by phone.
9. Arrange a horse ride
In order to diversify your summer leisure time, you can devote one day to horseback riding. Or arrange an atmospheric photo shoot with horses. The Tambov hippodrome is at your service; it is located in the very center of the city. Instructors will conduct classes for you or help with organizing a photo shoot. All details and contacts of instructors are on the hippodrome website https://tmbfks.wixsite.com/koni.
10. Feel the atmosphere of youth and freedom on “Chernozem”
The most soulful event of the year - the Chernozem rock festival, which can rightfully claim the title of the best musical event in the Central Federal District, will be held in Tambov for the fourth time. Last year it was visited by more than 19 thousand people from different parts of Russia and abroad. This year the festival will take place from August 17 to 19. The headliners will be the bands Leningrad, Kipelov and DDT. All details about ticket prices, a full list of participants and timings are on the event website www.chernozemrock.ru.

Entertainment centers
Where to go with children in Tambov today and every day? Of course, to entertainment centers! For kids, this will be a visit to a magical fairy-tale place, and for parents, it will be an opportunity to calmly go about their business, such as shopping. The fact is that such children's corners are created mainly in shopping centers, where you can buy thousands of necessary things. In addition, there are cafes and restaurants for adults. Fathers and mothers can afford a romantic dinner by placing their child in the care of teachers and animators in the entertainment center. There are more than a dozen such places in Tambov. The most popular are:
- "Giraffe". There are two of them. One is located on Studenetskaya embankment, in the Akvarel shopping center. The second is on Entuziastov Boulevard, in the Festival Park shopping center.
- “Jumanji” is located on Maxim Gorky Street, in the “Gallery” shopping center.
- “Eurasik-Park” awaits its visitors on Ryleeva Street, in the “Europe” shopping center.
Each RC has a dry pool with balls, a labyrinth, slot machines, many toys for the little ones, a corner with board games and objects for drawing. Here you can not only play with your child, but also celebrate his birthday.
I would especially like to highlight the Eurasik-Park shopping center. It differs from others in that there are huge figures of dinosaurs that can growl, move their paws and tail, and turn their heads. You can touch them with your hands, you are allowed to take pictures with them. Parents have only rave reviews about this RC. The children love it here so much that they don’t want to leave. “Eurasik-Park” is designed for young visitors aged one year and older.

It's called "Action". The club is located at: st. Krasnaya, 7a. If you are faced with the question of where to go in Tambov with a schoolchild, you won’t find a better place.

The owners report that there are no age restrictions for visiting the establishment, but it is better to come here with children who are already 7 years old. Teenagers especially like it here.

In the club you can not only fight exciting battles, but also celebrate birthdays. For this purpose, a room designed in the shape of a spaceship is provided. The program includes a maze, laser tag, and, of course, a delicious cake.
Advice from city residents: parents recommend taking not only their child, but also his friends to this club, because the most interesting game is obtained if there are at least 8 people in the team.
