Amusement park in Victory Park: swings and a roller coaster

The amusement park in Yessentuki is located in Victory Park. It's a small but cozy place — essentially, the only full-fledged amusement park in the city. Apart from Theater Square in front of Kurortny Park, which only has rental kids' cars and pedal go-karts, this is the only place where you can really have fun with children.

The Ferris wheel is the main attraction. Its height is 65 meters (that's over 21 stories). They say that on a clear day, from the top you can see Beshtau Mountain and even Elbrus. The ticket price is 350 RUB. Opening hours: daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. In bad weather, it may be closed.

Other rides include swings, a mini roller coaster, a shooting gallery, and a kids' "fishing" game. Prices start from 200 RUB per session. Everything is fairly simple, nothing extreme — kids up to 12-14 years old should enjoy it.

A special treat in Victory Park is the friendly squirrels. They willingly take food from your hands (raw seeds, nuts, crackers). Kids are usually thrilled.

Our honest advice: Making a special trip to the amusement park from another part of the city, especially without kids, isn't worth it. The rides are simple. But if you're vacationing with a child and want some variety, it's a good option for a couple of hours. Plus, you can feed the squirrels.
