Budget-Friendly Tours for Children in St Petersburg

Taking the tours for children in St Petersburg may not seem like an obvious destination to bring kids because of its emphasis on art, history, and architecture, but there are lots of things that kids will enjoy, especially during the summer months when the entire city transforms into an outdoor playground. Here are a few of the best things to do on tours for children in St Petersburg:

#1-Museums and other tourist destinations

The Museum oа Natural History has thousands of stuffed animals on display (including several mammoths); the Railway Museum has a variety of scale locos and model train bridges; the Central Naval Museum has a terrific portfolio of model boats; the unusual Kunstkamera (Chamber of Curiosities) is not suitable for small children, and the Artillery Museum is great for any children who love tanks.

The wonderfully realistic scale models of early 18th century St Petersburg at Petrovskaya Akvatoria and the much more epic model town of Russia's major landmarks at Grand Model are sure to captivate both children and adults.

#2-The Great Outdoors

A magnificent children's playground, a wooden model of a frigate to climb on, a giant chess set, and free pétanque are all available in New Holland Park, one of the loveliest parks in the city to take kids to. On the Petrograd Side, the Kirovsky Islands, with amusement park, boat and bike rentals, and plenty of open space, are another great outdoor option just a short distance from the city center. 

Children will enjoy the Peterhof fountains as well as the hydrofoil ride to get there. Alexandrovsky Park, on the Petrograd Side, is also a terrific spot for kids, with a zoo, planetarium, and a variety of other activities tucked away amid the trees. 

A boat ride through the historic heart's magnificent waterways is another enjoyable outdoor pastime. Beach Laskovy in Repino is a great place to spend a day at the beach (and enjoy food from beachfront vendors). 

#3-The awesome children-friendly foods

Many restaurants cater to children, with playrooms, kid-friendly cuisine, and high chairs for toddlers. Some of our favorites are Yat, Teplo, Botanika, Moskva, Khochu Kharcho, Sadko, Zoom Café, Koryushka, Stroganoff Steak House, and Pryanosti & Radosti.

For kid-friendly snacks on the go, go to Teremok, a popular bliny store offering sweet and savory pancakes with locations all over the city.

#4-Circus and Puppet Shows

Adults and children, as well as non-Russian and Russian-speakers, will enjoy Russia's strong legacy of puppetry and circus presentations.

The superb Bolshoy Puppet Theatre is creating marvelously imaginative productions, becoming a much-loved local institution. It now has 22 episodes for kids, including a fantastic adaptation of The Little Prince.

  If you are looking for the St Petersburg Catherine Palace with Amber Room tour, then you should first know a little about the history of the Amber Room. It is one of history's great lost treasures, once captivated visitors to the czar's Winter House in St. Petersburg, where more than six tons of amber were placed against mirrors and gold leaf into an immense, golden gallery. The area once known as Prussia was the world's largest producer of amber for most of history, and it is still linked with the region today. The golden-colored fossilized tree sap may be found all over the world, but it has long been prized and sold in Eastern Europe, dating back to Roman times.
