Child-friendly Eating
Restaurants have changed enormously in the past couple of decades, and now there
are a host of family-friendly eateries with playrooms, children's menus and high
chairs for babies. Some of our favourites include Teplo ( CLICK HERE ), Botanika (
CLICK HERE ), Sadko ( CLICK HERE ), Stroganoff Steak House ( CLICK HERE ) and
Makarov ( CLICK HERE ). For child-friendly snacks on the hoof, try ubiquitous bliny
stands Teremok ( CLICK HERE ), found all over the city, for cheap and delicious
sweet or savoury pancakes.
Puppet Shows
Russia has a proud tradition of puppetry and St Petersburg boasts two renowned
theatres, both with large repertoires that will appeal to adults and children, and to non-
Russian speakers and Russian speakers alike. The excellent Bolshoy Puppet Theatre (
CLICK HERE ) has been producing wonderfully innovative shows since its inception
in the dark days of Stalinism, becoming a much-loved local institution. It currently
boasts 22 shows for children - including an excellent version of The Little Prince .
The Demmeni Marionette Theatre ( CLICK HERE ) is also an excellent venue, with a
large range of shows, including Gulliver's Travels and Puppets and Clowns (a lively
hour-long circus-style show performed by puppets). Do check with the theatre which
shows are suitable for children - both do literary and arty performances aimed solely
at adults as well.
