RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
Riviera Park - this is the main entertainment park of Sochi with children's and extreme attractions, a ferris wheel, a dolphinarium, a crocodile show, a mini-aquarium, a Penguins, a mini-zoo, a butterfly tail, alleys for walking and Recreation, several mini-museums, a fear room. The park is very large in area (but not in the amount of entertainment), and going here with the whole family you should plan to spend half a day on it, and, of course, a lot of money.
But we try to always be objective, and therefore let's be honest that the popularity and "promotion" of this park is far ahead of reality. Yes, the park is large and beautiful, and there are many attractions in it at first glance. But if you come here with a family with children of different ages, then not everyone will be able to find entertainment suitable for their age and interests. Unfortunately, there are very few extreme attractions for older children and adults, and many of them are often on prevention. So, at the height of the season in July 2021, there was not a single extreme attraction that could be of interest to older children or adults. So if you have already been to such parks in other cities on the coast, for example in Gelendzhik, Anapa or Vityazevo, here you may be somewhat disappointed. Well, if your kids are less than 10 years old, then there are a lot of options to have fun.
🕐 Working hours
the park is open to the public without breaks and weekends from 06:00 to 23:00, but each of the attractions and entertainments operate on its own schedule.
💵 Entrance fee / ticket price
admission to the park is free, the cost of attractions from 100 rubles.
🚶 How to get there
Riviera Park is located on the Right Bank of the Sochi River near the center (Riviera Park on the map. Here you can easily walk on foot from almost anywhere in the center of Sochi, for which you can cross the river on one of the bridges. You can get there by local buses from 28 rubles per trip to the park Riviera stop. We do not advise you to go here by private transport, because there is simply nowhere to park nearby, even for a fee, so you still have to find a parking place somewhere to the side, and walk here. From other Sochi resorts the park can be visited during the day with inexpensive group excursions, or get to the Sochi railway station by bus or train (recommended).
