Children's Museum "Zelenka" in Samara

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

Zelenka children's Museum - a small museum for school-age children, located next to The Art Nouveau Museum (kurlina mansion). This is very convenient: you can leave the children in the "Zelenka" while you inspect the expositions that are not very interesting for children in the Art Nouveau Museum. Just keep in mind that children may not understand the exhibits of Zelenka on their own, so the participation of adults in the inspection is recommended. For this, by the way, at certain times of the day, group excursions with children are held, so it is better to plan a visit for this time.

The museum consists of only one hall filled with a dozen interactive exhibits-tasks with which you can get acquainted with some natural phenomena, physical phenomena, inventions. Each exhibit is accompanied by an instruction describing what needs to be done. Unfortunately, the instructions are located high and are not available for children, here the participation of adults is necessary. After reading the instructions, you can bring the exhibits into action, for which they can be touched, twisted, pressed buttons.

In fairness, we note that during our visit in 2021, some of the exhibits did not work and required repair. In addition to directly inspecting the museum, master classes and entertaining lessons are held here, but for this it is better to sign up for a visit in advance by a group, for example, a class or to celebrate a birthday.
