The Botanical Garden is a forested area in the north-east of Moscow, a favorite place for pensioners, rollerbladers and cyclists. People come here for a walk, as a rule, residents of nearby areas - SAO and SVAO. But there is something to see here, and the place is worth it to come here on purpose and from other parts of the capital.
The Botanical Garden was founded in 1945 on the site of preserved natural forests, such as the Ostankinsky and Leonovsky forests. According to official sources, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich hunted here (remember the palace in Kolomenskoye?), the father of Peter I.
If you are not a botanist biologist, and you can hardly tell a birch from an aspen, then at first glance the Botanical Garden will seem to you an ordinary forest park, of which there are not so few in Moscow. True, the area of the park is comparable to Sokolniki Square, but here the forest is wilder and denser, and there are fewer asphalt paths.
The first feeling from the Botanical Garden is that no one specially planted anything here, but everything grew by itself, everything is so natural and organic. Only after a certain time spent here, you begin to understand that the naturalness of the park is actually thought out to the smallest detail and is the result of the painstaking work of caring hands. And most importantly - it's just beautiful and quiet here, it becomes especially relevant when the noise and dust of the city bothers you. The only thing that reminds you of where you are is the point.
For silence and beauty, you will have to fork out a little - the entrance to the park is paid, though only from April 29 to mid-October. In April and October, access to the garden is free. Although, according to official information, it is closed for landing work, I personally was there in April, and there were many visitors. But in winter, the garden definitely does not work, and this is a little sad, because there you could build excellent snowmen or go skiing or sledding with children.
Ticket price to visit the Botanical Garden - 50 rubles. for pedestrians and 100 for cyclists, the cost of tickets for schoolchildren and students is 30 rubles, pensioners are not charged. With cyclists and roller skaters, the story is not clear. The official website of the Botanical Garden says that rollerblading and cycling are prohibited in the park. At the same time, they are allowed in, and even the cost of the entrance ticket has been set.
If you don't like to wander aimlessly looking at unfamiliar tree species, you can book an excursion. To do this, you need to gather a group of like-minded people and agree with the administration. The cost of the tour, depending on the direction - from 100 to 200 rubles. per person, for foreigners - 250 rubles.
Conventionally, the garden can be divided into several zones according to the regions in which the flora of the Caucasus is represented, Central Asia, Far East, Siberia. The park also includes a rose garden. Last summer, it was rebuilt and remodeled, so I never managed to admire the roses.
The park has a greenhouse, a glass building as high as a ten-story building. Inside it, through the glass, you can see huge palm trees, some beautiful tropical flowers of bright colors. But, as far as I know, you can only get inside with a guided tour, the entrance is closed for individual visitors, so it remains to be content with peeping from the street.
A very popular place in the park - Japanese garden. Entrance here is paid, 100-150 rubles. At the very beginning of May, you can see the cherry blossoms here. Flowering lasts only two or three days, and these days there is usually a stir in the Japanese Garden - there are many both professional photographers and just amateurs. In general, photographers have chosen the Japanese Garden. Most likely, that is why the administration has so high prices for professional photography. So be careful, if employees see you, for example, a tripod, they may ask you to pay. In general, everything here is quite strict - you can’t sit on the lawns, on the stones too.
There are several water bodies in the park. Swimming and fishing are prohibited here - you can only admire the water. One of the reservoirs is located near the main entrance opposite the Laboratory building, the other is on the border with the territory of the All-Russian Exhibition Center. There are also several small streams and ponds.
The main paths of the park are paved, there are also many dirt paths, which, by the way, are much more deserted, so if you want to find a secluded corner for a romantic date, turn onto the path. There are signs at every intersection in the park, so only those suffering from topographical cretinism can get lost here.
There are always a lot of people on the main paths of the park. If the weather is good, then this happens not only on weekends, but also on weekdays. Therefore, the benches along them are almost always occupied. Many, contrary to the instructions of the Rules, are located directly on the lawns - I have never seen them kicked out. In general, the audience here is mostly intelligent, everywhere is very clean and tidy, there is almost no garbage.
In the Botanical Garden, for the first time in my life, I saw how snowdrops grow, maybe you will discover something new and unusual here.
How to get from the metro:
The main botanical garden named after N.V. Tsitsina is located 5 minutes walk from Vladykino metro station. You can also get here from the VDNKh metro station by buses 24, 85, 803 and trolleybuses 9, 36.73. You can also get to the Botanical Garden from the metro station of the same name, but this is not very convenient - you have to travel far. In general, there are several entrances to the park: at the Vladykino metro station, from the side of Botanicheskaya street, from the side behind the Cosmos pavilion, and there is also an entrance from Komarov street. The park is large, so there are many entrances (see the map below).
