Gorky Park - Moscow

Back in 1928 this park was established as a place of culture and recreation for the citizens of Moscow. It is kind of their version of the Toronto Ex and has a midway that is right out of the 50s and 60s. Commonly referred to as Park Kultury, it overlooks the Moscow River and was a ten minute walk from where we stayed. The rides are very nostalgic and a bit hokey and very much reflect American culture, not Russian.
Still, it was a great place to spend part of an afternoon on a hot sunny day in the summer. It is a bargain at 80 Rubles but can get expensive if you like your rides and have lots of patience as they take a long time to load and are over in a flash. Note their version of the Princess Gate constructed in 1955.
