TsDM on Lubyanka. Shopping center Central Children's World, Lubyanka When the Children's World opens
The Central Children's Store in Moscow on Lubyanka is known throughout the country. The Central Children's House on Lubyanka, located in the building of the legendary Soviet Children's World, is not only a wonderful place for shopping, but also the most interesting attraction of Moscow. Sometimes this historical building, out of habit, continues to be called the Central Children's World, but the hypermarket of this retail chain is not here. The flagship Children's World is located on Vozdvizhenka, and TsDM stands for Central Children's Store.
The five floors of the shopping center are occupied by a hundred children's rooms, two dozen cafes and many for children. You might think that one hundred retail outlets is not so much, but only children's brands and products are presented here; such a wide variety of children's products in one place can no longer be found not only in Moscow but throughout Russia.
The Central Children's House on Lubyanka is located in Teatralny Proezd 5, the nearest metro stations are Lubyanka, Kuznetsky Most and Teatralnaya. From the Kuznetsky Most metro station it’s literally 5 minutes, from Teatralnaya about 7 minutes, and from the Lubyanka metro station you don’t even need to go to the surface: the passage leads directly to the shopping center. Entrance to the parking lot is via Pushechnaya Street.
Official website of the Central Children's House

Central Children's World on Lubyanka– these words reek of joy, ice cream, juice from glass cones, a new doll, a bunch of new clothes for September 1st and, in general, childhood. My memory vaguely retained the setting of the old “Children’s World”. A huge hall appears, it is now called the atrium. I remember noisy and noisy children, sweaty parents, queues, fittings and still - the feeling of Children's World. The whole world! Real, childish, magical, which you dream about and wait for, which you receive as a reward.
I remember “Children’s World” in the 80s and early 90s. I came there when I was already a mother. When children in ordinary “Children’s Worlds” couldn’t really find anything. But in Central - it’s possible. There was a choice! If you arrive early, you won’t waste much time. With what greed I once fell upon infant rompers, vests, and blouses. She grabbed like mad, even though she no longer needed it. I knew that I had a younger sister of marriageable age. There will be nephews. I bought rompers, it’s scary to name the price - 60 and 90 kopecks each! How useful they were later!
A quarter of a century has passed since then. The country has changed. We have changed. But “Children’s World” remains! It stood abandoned for several years, then for several more years - under reconstruction. It opened quite recently - March 31, 2015. It was a little scary to go there. Has it remained the world of childhood? Has it turned into just another “shopping and entertainment center”? What toys do our tech-savvy computerized children play with now? How can you surprise and entertain them? I received comprehensive answers to these and many other questions in the new old Central Children's World on Lubyanka.
I will note in parentheses that after the opening, Detsky Mir changed its name - it became the Central Children's Store. In those years when it was closed, some other retail chain took over and registered the trademark for itself, and our beloved, dear, adored since childhood, Central on Lubyanka became... a Children's Store, retaining the abbreviation TsDM. I don't want to pay attention to the sign change. For me it will forever remain Children's World. By the way, at the request of the Central Children's World(and not a store), what you are looking for appears in Yandex - not some children’s world, but the necessary and correct one, the one on Lubyanka. Therefore, let it remain in this article as the familiar and familiar “Children’s World”!
Allow me a small digression. I apologize for the terrible quality of the pictures. “Children’s World” is beautifully lit. Spotlights, lamps, and lamps are installed everywhere, shining directly into the lens from any point. So, sorry, the photos leave a lot to be desired. I don't use a photo editor!
Arriving at the Lubyanka metro station, I was pleasantly surprised that they had finally opened an exit from the metro directly to Detsky Mir. It was closed for several years due to the reconstruction of the store. It was terribly inconvenient to go up, then go down again and cross the wide area through a separate underground passage. Now everything is the same as before - you go straight from the metro to the store.
You get to the ground floor, it is equipped with fashionable modern escalators, with an invitingly glowing neon blue ribbon.
Next to the elevator there is a small guide to Children's World from the -2 to the 6th floor. Let's start from the bottom.
I move up one level and stand in awe.
Remember!? Do you remember this amazing, high, bright central hall!? Now it has been decorated in a completely different style. But it immediately seems like family, from childhood!
In a bright lampshade, somewhere there, in the high “sky” of the store, our most beloved heroes “live” - Ivan Tsarevich, Tsar Guidon, Vasilisa the Beautiful against the backdrop of “the island of Buyan, the kingdom of the glorious Saltan.” What do they remind you of? I can’t believe my eyes - these are copies of illustrations by Ivan Bilibin himself!
The Small Hall is decorated with stained glass windows based on paintings by the artist Aristarkh Lentulov.
And the clock! It seems that the old “Children’s World” had a sun-shaped dial? These are clearly different, modern and impressive!
And the floor lamps! Are they really the same original bronze ones? And marble balusters! There are a hundred of them in total! This is exactly how the architect Alexey Nikolaevich Dushkin intended to solve the interior space of the store in 1953. To restore the original appearance of Detsky Mir, marble was brought from the same deposit in the Urals!
Eight unique bronze floor lamps were restored in the atrium, and the marble staircases and railings were restored.
I would like to go around the atrium in a circle, to look at all the fairy-tale characters of the ceiling. But where is it? In the middle, below, a fabulous action unfolds. On a small stage, decorated in the form of a tower, a magical performance is taking place.
The little visitors froze in anticipation of a miracle. Parents seem to have turned into kids and are also fascinated by watching the heroes on stage. On each floor, spectators stand in open galleries around a central atrium. Why not theater? Even more than theater! From time to time, all the little visitors become participants in the performance!
I linger a little in the “auditorium.” I look at his decoration. I understand that rising higher, I can assess the situation from a different angle and go further to get acquainted with the long-forgotten Central “Children's World” on Lubyanka.
We couldn't get far. After a few steps I stop at the “hut on chicken legs.”
Eh, I wish I could climb there. But a menacing inscription warns that adults are not allowed to enter.
Nearby is another interesting fun. Bridge with rope net. And again - only for little ones.
That's when you'll regret the years you've lived! 🙂 I wish I could dive under the net right now! The organizers of the new Children's World came up with a great idea - such a wonderful outdoor game!
I'm ready to hit the road again. But the first floor again doesn’t let me go. What are these sounds? Yes, this is an unusual musical instrument! Keys are not just a pattern on the floor. If you press on them a little harder, then each of them will sing its own note.
Both children and adults can come here. True, you can’t stand here for long; the cacophony of random sounds is annoying. But this is the opinion of an outside observer. If there were fewer people, I would walk through the keys myself, look, and remember my music lessons.
What kind of bunch of enthusiastic adults are there? Yes, this is the department where Lego constructors are sold! And they don't just sell! On the tables there are ready-made sets of parts that you can play with. Young mothers and fathers, pushing their children aside, enthusiastically bent over the craft, forgetting about parental responsibilities!
And the children look at the huge Lego crafts with interest.
Here, there are different sets to choose from, and I hear parents trying to persuade their son to buy a different construction set than the one he chose.
- Look, here is exactly the same house as in yours. And to boot, there's a train! Let's buy it with the train!
But the baby stubbornly clutches the chosen box to himself. He doesn't need a train. His parents want him.
Without waiting for the end of the family drama, I leave the department with Lego sets and sadly remember how hard it was to “get” the pitiful set for my son.
After a few steps I hear a familiar sound. I come closer and am surprised to recognize the board game “hockey”. This time dad and daughter took to the ice field! Great!
Here again hangs the inviting motto: “We invite you to play!” Each game can not only be touched, watched, but also played! And no prohibitions or shouts - be careful not to spoil it! Each outlet has several trial games.
I'm wondering how much toys cost now? For example, soft toys and doll furniture sets.
I go up and take down a couple of shelves with prices.
Yes, not everyone can afford it. But do you know what I noticed? The sale of toys in Detsky Mir is somehow relegated not only to the background, but even to the last priority. I haven’t noticed a single whining kid who is boringly begging:
- Well ma-am, well ku-u-upi-i! Oh-o-a-a-luysta-a-a-a!
Rather, parents tried to distract their children from numerous fun and attractions in order to fulfill the main task of coming to “Children’s World” - to buy what they needed or what was promised.
I'm still wandering around the first floor. Here the little ones look in fascination at the small pools where the toys “grow”. Now it’s clear what will come of these inconspicuous-looking animals in transparent boxes.
And here Potapych hospitably lounged under a tree with a samovar. Well, how can you not take a photo with him?
And at the same time with Masha, whom the children see almost every evening in the “Children’s program”.
Finally, I pull myself together and go up to the next floor in the hope of seeing children's products, fitting rooms, and cash registers here.
I look around and go back to the central atrium. From here the stage is no longer seen as from the stalls, but as from the mezzanine.
Finally, here are children's goods - the very first vehicles in life.
Costumes for little princesses.
It is noticeably quieter and calmer here than the level below. But on this floor there are corners for children's creativity. There's a big spreading tree over there. A girl is sitting on one of the branches with a book. I haven’t yet realized who she is, when I hear an enthusiastic child’s voice:
- Mom, Alice! Look, it's Alice!
Well, who else could it be? Of course, she is the heroine of “Alice in Wonderland.”
And here is a description of how you can play here. It turns out that you need to go to the tablet table. Choose a drawing tool – a brush or a stamp. Then decide what color palette you want to paint the character with. If you make a mistake, it doesn’t matter! There are “cancel” and “eraser” buttons. Ready? Then, press the “start” button and your hero will come to life on the screen!
Now let's go higher.
I prefer the escalator. But you can also take the elevator.
Or remember our Soviet childhood and count the steps up, there are also ordinary stairs.
You won't have to turn your head for long on the third floor. Immediately in front of you is another attraction.
Around him you immediately want to say: “Shhh! Quiet! This is a reading room! It’s not customary to make noise here!”
Yes, this is an “interactive library”. To use it, you need a special mobile application of the Central “Children’s World”. All you have to do is point your mobile phone at the code of the book you like and you already have it - downloaded!
Can't wait to scroll through the electronic page right away? No obstacles, on the contrary – a comfortable sofa!
Before going higher, pressing questions arise. The answers are indicated on each floor.
The third floor is a bit disappointing. I suspect this is a temporary phenomenon. They did not have time to equip all retail outlets for the opening of the store. Look, it seems to me that these pavilions will soon have children's products.
And I was already wondering why the official website of “Children’s World” talks about 20% of the space allocated for children’s games and fun. It seemed to me quite the opposite - here, if not 80% of the children's area, then at least 50! But this is only in the first weeks of Detsky Mir’s operation. New goods for children will be brought in and the Central Children's Store will again become a children's store. And not at the expense of attractions for kids!
On the fourth floor, another look at the stage!
And the watch looks much more impressive from here!
This watch is the most important attraction of the modern “ Children's World" on Lubyanka. They are called “Rocket”. The famous chimes on the Spasskaya Tower received an unexpected competitor. And not only historical chimes! “Rocket” competes worthy with London’s Big Ben.
Why “Rocket”? This is how the oldest domestic watch factory “Raketa” perpetuated and glorified its name.
The clock is visible from any floor. But the higher you rise, the closer and closer the amazing structure becomes. You can watch the mechanism in action from the fifth floor. This is the largest clock mechanism on the planet! The watchmakers of the factory assure that the mechanism will serve without fail for a century!
The weight of the “Rocket” is 4500 kg, that is, 4.5 tons. The dial is turned by no less than five thousand parts! All gear cogs are made of various metals. There is not only aluminum and steel here, but even titanium (as in “Rocket without it! :) and pure gold!
The pendulum is also huge - its three-meter diameter hangs from a 13-meter height!
I carefully approach the edge of the gallery to assess the height of the building from here.
I take a couple of shots and run away, what can I do - I’m afraid of heights, it’s already scary to look down here.
The fifth floor is the so-called Kidburg. (I’ll grumble! Is it really impossible to call this game Detgrad? Or something else, but in Russian! 🙁)
This is a real children's city with all the necessary institutions - post office, city administration, hospital, port, rescue service, television station.
Available in Kidburg and a shop, a bakery with a bakery, a cafe, a flower shop, an architectural studio, even a travel agency and a mine.
Here the children will play role-playing games - “trying on” different professions and services. During the game, children will be given not only a passport, but also a work book. Does your little man still not know what he would like to become? In this in Kidburg They will also help - there is a labor exchange in the city!
Please note that the cost of visiting gaming rooms on weekdays is cheaper than on weekends, holidays and vacations.
Another “highlight” of the fifth floor is “Dinosaur Show”. I can imagine what an amazing sight it is; it’s not for nothing that people stand in line for expensive tickets.
In order not to get bored in line, you can fearlessly stick your head into the open mouth of the monster!
Or compare how much smaller a “human baby” is than an embryo in a dinosaur egg.
“Dinosaur Show” works in sessions, every half hour.
And here is the price list.
Dinopark is an exhibition of prehistoric dinosaurs. They are almost alive - they move, flap their wings, click their predatory mouth. Here you can imagine how huge they were - after all, their models were made in life size. You can also climb into the egg of an ancient animal and play as its baby!
On the fifth floor there is the opportunity to find yourself in outer space. You need to go into the round pavilion “Journey to Mars”, turn the remote control ball in different directions and move in space!
Text will appear on the right side of the screen and you will find out where you ended up on your space journey!
Tired? Are you hungry? Then welcome to the sixth floor!
This floor is completely occupied by “glutton rows” :). I didn’t notice a good restaurant there; “Rake” is a self-service canteen. (The smell of very good coffee spread throughout the second floor). But you won’t go hungry there, the fast food system works great!
Do you still have strength? Then - go ahead! On the roof! We'll visit the childhood museum another time!
There is an observation deck on the top floor. The views from there are amazing! It seems that “Children’s World” is the only building in the city center where you can easily and freely go up and admire the panorama of the center of Moscow. (We do not take into account the restaurants in the National and Ritz-Carlton hotels, everything is not so simple there).
Two disadvantages:
– On Sunday in the middle of the day it is very, very crowded. The passages on the observation deck were narrow, people stood closely at the edge of the roof.
- The barriers are too high. They are made of glass and do not pose a serious obstacle to viewing. It's difficult to take pictures of the views. Only at the corner joints are there gaps where the lens can easily fit.
I won’t brag about the photos, I took them against the sun, (what should I do?) I’ll show you a couple.
Now - down to the first level.
I completed the program and became acquainted again with such a beloved, wonderful “Children’s World”. It's a little sad to leave. Moreover, when the performance ended, the artists went out into the hall to the audience and the children joined in the fun game.
Do you think that I paid little attention to the store itself, to children's goods? I dare to assure you that “Children’s World” is a store. You definitely won't leave without the right thing.
But still, this is not an ordinary store. This is “Children's World”. Fairy. Wonderful. Game. “The very best house!”
Have you forgotten how to get to “Children’s World” on Lubyanka? Or is it your first time in Moscow and you’re not sure how to navigate the capital? No problem, together
My first acquaintance with Children's World took place in the summer... in July.... on Monday.... It just so happened that on that day I met relatives from Kubinka, who went to Moscow for a walk. There was a 10-year-old girl with the adults. I suggested going to Lubyanka at Children’s World, they say I read the reviews, they write that there is paradise on Earth. Let's take the child there....
_______________________
How to get there. Metro Lubyanka. Exit directly from the metro. There is a sign at the station where you need to go.
Entering the Central House of Music from the metro, you will find yourself directly in a row of shops. You will also find an interactive photo studio.
The central entrance will lead you to the main atrium, decorated with paintings from children's fairy tales about the frog princess, Vasilisa the Beautiful, Tsar Saltan and others.
Also in the main atrium you can see the giant monumental “Rocket” clock. An amazing spectacle, striking in its scale. I don’t know about anyone, but I was amazed by the look of the “Rocket”.
The Central Children's House has several escalators and glass elevators. On weekends, it is better not to use the elevator if your child has long outgrown the stroller, or you have come without a child at all. By the way, this is what is written on the elevator doors:
We ask you not to occupy the elevator, because... a lot of people with baby strollers.
Unfortunately, no one follows this rule and everyone rides the elevator instead of using the escalator, and parents with strollers are forced to wait for an empty elevator to go up or down.
Toys.
You can not only look at many toys in the Central Children's House, but also touch them, and even play with some.
On the first floor, I remember there was even a small electronic dinosaur walking around. You could pet him, to which he reacted in a funny way by purring and wagging his tail. Apparently, this miracle of technology was released only on Mondays))), because on other days little visitors would simply trample it))). And so, there are no people, pet the animal as much as you want)).
Some toys are presented on a fairly large scale. For example, Little Pony, beloved by many girls. When I took my daughter to the Central Children’s Museum, she hugged all the ponies and took pictures with each one several times.
With Equestria Girls you can sing karaoke. All these almost human-sized dolls stand side by side on a small stage.
You can sit in a pumpkin carriage.
Touch a giant Furby.
Gaze at the huge transformers (it’s scary to even approach them. It seems like now it will come to life and go destroy everything))).
Stand next to Thomas the Tank Engine.
On the ground floor, in a reduced format, there is a model of the area through which the locomotive travels. My daughter stood near this locomotive for a long time))).
I think there is a carousel and a mini railway on the second floor. You can ride there for free. Because We were at the Central Children's House for the first time on Monday, and there were very few visitors. Our girl was alone on the carousel.
On another day (also Monday), but before the New Year, there were more children, and the girls who looked after the carousel specially gathered several people who wanted to ride. Apparently, to avoid wasting electricity. One child was even persuaded to take a ride.
On the same floor where the carousel is located LEGO world. There are many stationary figures made of blocks around, and there are also tables with Lego pieces. You can sit down with your child and play with the constructor.
And of course, the Central House of Art couldn’t do without the legendary Masha and the Bear. Those who want to sit in Bear’s chair and watch his own TV have this opportunity. Well, there is the Bear himself, sitting on a bench near the makeshift entrance to the house. But Masha can be found on the balcony of the same floor in the company of a huge... giraffe))).
Master class at the Sylvanian Families lodge
D The kids sculpted them from plasticine and put stickers on their wheels. And then Maria the rabbit came and the funny dances began...
And here mass dance show, in which everyone could participate.
In several photos, a family from Japan is dancing to “Rasputin” on the red carpet))...
__________________
Among other things, on one of the floors there is a piano located on the floor. Accordingly, you can only play such an instrument with your feet... But the problem is that some visitors don’t have enough weight to fully press the key, which is huge in comparison. My 14-kilogram daughter simply ran across the piano and did not understand why her mother was so insistent on walking along this black and white path.
___________________________
KIDBURG- this is something that will be interesting for children aged 4-5 years. The city where the children live is located on the 5th floor.
The city hall, post office, labor exchange, port, hospital, emergency services service, television and radio studios and other institutions without which it is impossible to imagine a modern metropolis are located on 3,000 square meters. A supermarket, a city cafe, and a bakery were opened for visitors; new play areas were developed exclusively for Moscow - a mine, an architectural bureau, a flower shop, a court, a travel agency and others.
Once we took our nephew there. The guy is already 9 years old. They barely got him out of this entertainment.
Children there get professions, earn money, put out fires, work as doctors, security guards, and police officers. Ours was stuck in the bakery - we really enjoyed baking Easter cakes))).
Very cool project. The children there feel like adults and important))) well, it’s just pure tenderness, no matter what)))
Entertainment is not free . Prices can be viewed on the official website of the Central Children's House.
_________________________________________
Interactive complex "Visiting Alice" or "Alice in Wonderland", located on the 3rd floor. Nothing special, but kids like it.
What the complex consists of are several sensory tables where you can paint characters from the fairy tale about Alice. You select a color from the menu and move your finger over the picture.
Next to the tables is a magical tree on which fairy-tale characters hang.
____________________________________________
Where to eat...
On the 6th floor there is a gluttonous place that could not do without McDonald's. Where would we be without him))) He even fits in here and draws crowds.
We were looking for a cafe there with a children's menu. To be honest, they didn’t find anything so childish.
There are cafes on other floors as well. On the third there is a place where, next to the tables, there is a small fenced area where you can put a small child to play and sit at the table. True, this site is only for very young children - a year, a year and a half, no more.
________________________
In the summer I was at the Central House of Art trampoline, but on New Year’s Eve he was gone. My princess was upset, this is what she expected most of all, but here it’s such a bummer.
______________________
In addition to the above-mentioned entertainment, there are several labyrinths where children can run around.
Here, for example, is the entrance to one of them:
________________________
There are also children's hairdresser. I noticed it by accident. As I passed by, I heard the screams of a little boy, who was being tried to be placed in a child's chair shaped like a car or something, and to have his hair cut. The guy resisted as best he could, thereby drawing the attention of visitors to the Central House of Music to his person and the hairdressing salon as a whole)))
I’m afraid to imagine what the prices are there...)) Maybe the guy cried because of this, tried to save the family budget or spend the money on something more useful than a haircut, but his parents still didn’t understand anything)))).. ........
Museum of Childhood.
I even shed a tear...
The museum contains toys from the past. Plastic Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, tumblers, cars, soldiers, dolls, hares, bears, squirrels, crocodile Gena and Cheburashka...
It seems to me that we played with very kind toys............

Observation deck. It offers a magnificent view of Moscow. Of course, not all of it, but only a part, but what a part!
_______________________________
A little about prices.
I don’t know who shops at the Central Children’s Store, because the price tag there is several times higher than in a regular shopping center. This is understandable. Such shopping centers are probably aimed more at wealthy foreigners. But the locals come there to have fun, and even then not often - you can’t run into the center of Moscow.
I only made 2 purchases there. One from H&M - children's trousers for 500 rubles, the second from Mothercare - 3 pairs of children's leggings for 700 rubles. And it was also a sale))).
Buying toys there is nooo... Expensive, even too expensive.
Unless I would buy a Japanese designer set. As for me, it’s a worthwhile toy, and I don’t mind spending money on it. And I’ve only seen such construction sets at the Central House of Art. You can find them on the 3rd floor directly opposite the interactive complex “Visiting Alice”.
I have to admit that you can find quite a lot there rare things, which you won’t find in ordinary shopping centers in residential areas. Again, I’ll go back to Japanese designers... Or designer clothing items.
On the 3rd floor I saw a small store, more like just a stand in the middle of the “street” with clothes from some Russian designer. Cute sweatshirts, dresses, shirts with owl embroidery for children and adults. Something like a family look. It's okay, it's cute. And not very expensive. On Instagram, different craftsmen sell similar clothes for the same money. And here you can at least try it on and see what you are buying.

Annoying photographers.
We encountered these guys when we went to the Central Children's House before the New Year. First, an uncle with a kind face pestered us, and then an auntie. The latter, seeing her daughter sit down with each pony, ran up in the hope that we would agree to at least one photo.
"Girl, what's your name?"
“Oh, come on, Dasha, I’ll take a photo of you!”
And Dasya, let’s pose and smile - so much attention came out of nowhere! Why am I not a star?!
After a short photo shoot, they offered to buy a photo for 350 rubles, or 2 refrigerator magnets for 600.
No, excuse me. We already have such photos on our phone, I don’t want to print them...
_____________________________________________
This is how he is Central children's store on Lubyanka. You can also write two similar canvases about him, but I’m afraid no one will be able to handle it.
In addition, in the Central House of Art various events take place , there are animators. Some children cannot be kicked out of there)).
And yes, I almost forgot - When is the best time to go there? The employees themselves say that there are crowds of people there on weekends. Therefore, if you really want to take your child there, but don’t want to jostle, choose a weekday. But this is in winter.
In the summer, in July, we were with the children at the Central Children's House on Saturday. There are more people than on weekdays, but not very many. Apparently everyone is on vacation in the summer.
A negative impression of the Central Children's Museum will most likely be formed due to the large number of people who visit there on weekends. On Saturday you can't even ride the carousel there - it doesn't work, that's what it says.

With that, I’ll take my leave, good day everyone!

The world's largest children's shopping complex has finally opened after a long restoration. "Children's World", built in 1957 according to the design of Soviet architect Alexei Dushkin, was the most famous children's store in the USSR. The products of all plants and factories in the field of children's clothing, shoes and toys were presented here. In 2008, the building was closed to the public due to the poor condition of the load-bearing structures, and only in December 2014 the renovation was completed.
The famous building on Lubyanka not only changed its name to the “Central Children's Store”, but was also transformed inside: new architectural solutions, one of the best observation decks over the center of Moscow, flagship stores, interactive areas with educational programs on each floor of the department store and much, much more. .
Landmark, Landmark, Shopping and Entertainment Center
During the restoration, first of all, they tried to preserve the uniqueness of the main trading floor. It was recreated according to the original architectural plan of the architect Alexei Dushkin, even the marble for decoration was brought from the Koelginskoye deposit - this is the type of stone that was used during construction in 1957.
The central atrium was preserved in its historical place, 8 unique bronze floor lamps were restored and installed, and more than 100 balusters from 1957 were recreated in the fences. As for the changes, the space of the central atrium has increased by raising the dome from the 3rd to the 7th floor.
Now a stage has been installed here, where children's events, parades of life-size puppets, performances take place every day, and every evening a three-dimensional light show is organized for children, transforming the atrium into a “magic music box.” During the program, an entire wall is illuminated with the brightest colors of various subjects, the first of which are “History of Russia” and “Nature of Russia”.
Where: 1st floor
When: from 10:00 to 22:00. Light shows for children every day at 17:00, 18:00, 19:00, 20:00

On the dome of the atrium you can see paintings based on the fairy tales about “The Frog Princess”, “The Feather of Finist-Yasna Falcon”, “Vasilisa the Beautiful”, “Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka”.

Bell tower of Ivan the Great" and others.

The kindest museum in the capital has more than 1000 exhibits.
At the entrance to the museum, guests are greeted by a huge plush elephant, which was made for Detsky Mir on a special order in the mid-80s. For several decades he was part of the store's decorations, moving his ears and standing on his hind legs. After it was closed for reconstruction, the baby elephant was given to a large family as a gift, and only after a collection of commemorative toys for the museum was announced did it return here.
Other exhibits include Cheburashka and the crocodile Gena, dolls of all kinds, teddy bears, tumblers, a tabletop railway, the games “Battleship” and “Behind the Wheel”, soldiers, tanks, projectors for filmstrips and much more.

Famous characters from Carroll's tale have been turned into interactive coloring pages. There are three multimedia tables where you can color Alice, the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat or the White Rabbit.
It will be interesting for both toddlers and older children to draw on the tables - for the latter, more complex figures have been prepared that need to be painted using special brushes. After the character is painted, he comes to life - Alice falls into the rabbit hole, and at the Mad Hatter's table they finally start drinking tea.

Along the way you will need to collect crystals and avoid stones. Interesting scientific facts appear on the screen from time to time.
