RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
Olympus Entertainment Park is located on the top of a mountain near the city. A chairlift leads to the top, which in itself is already entertainment, and quite extreme, because you will have to go not in a closed booth, but in an open chair. There is a Ferris wheel, an observation deck, a 3D planetarium, an extreme carousel, and the very inscription "Gelendzhik" on the mountainside, which can be seen from anywhere in the city. Of course, there are places to relax and cafes upstairs. Not far from the upper station of the cable car there is also a cross on the mountain (they take gazelles there for free), and two observation decks of the Navel of the earth and a Tea shelf, but you will have to walk to them on your own, if, of course, you want. At the bottom of the lower station of the cable car there is a petting zoo and a terrarium (included in the ticket price), and replicas of dolmens. Also, for an additional fee, you can play bowling, ride jeeps and quad bikes, make an extreme descent on a zipline (trolley).
In summer, from June 10 to September 20, a "beer party" is held on the upper platform after 20 o'clock, during which every adult visitor is offered a glass of beer for free, contests and competitions with beer prizes, a disco and other fun are held. And for children from 19:30 to 20:00 there is an entertainment program with animators and contests.
