What happens when you turn a walk through Moscow into an adventure?

I was invited to VDNX for “Play Moscow,” an interactive family quest that combines exploration, riddles and fascinating facts about the city. The children had a wonderful time—but judging by the smiles, the adults were enjoying themselves just as much.

We also visited the ATOM Pavilion, which is genuinely first class. The exhibition tells the story of Russia’s nuclear achievements through immersive displays, historical exhibits and interactive technology.

One detail international visitors will appreciate: the exhibition includes English translations, making it easy to follow even if you don’t speak Russian.

A beautiful summer day, an educational experience and a reminder that Moscow always has something new to discover.
