Parks
With over 100 parks and gardens, Moscow has plenty of space for kids to let off steam -
many parks include playgrounds. Larger spaces such as Gorky Park, Vorobyovy Gory
Nature Preserve and Izmaylovsky Park rent bicycles, paddle boats and such.

there's no need to fight the crowds or linger too long in one place.

counters with their favourite animals.
