The skating rink is much smaller than it was at the beginning of its existence, when people skated around the fountains. Therefore, it is not nearly as interesting. It would be nice to have more signs at the entrances so that they are not confused with the exits. The turnstiles scan tickets from paper better than from phones. Perhaps it's only -20 degrees because of the screens, but the people in line in front of us were fiddling with their phones for a while.

This year the skating rink is smaller than in previous years, and be prepared for ice shows on some days. We just got to such a show. It lasted an hour. At this time, the area for skiing was even smaller. Plus, I had to skate without music at all, to the sounds coming from the area where the skaters were performing. But even then the music played, frankly speaking, was not very cheerful, and it could not be heard normally in all parts of the skating rink. Other days the experience was better. More precisely, on one day there was generally excellent dance music, which creates a great mood. One more time we were at the morning session. The music was, frankly speaking, far from cheerful for the most part. The songs themselves are not bad, but, in my opinion, they are definitely not for the skating rink in terms of mood (“Shouldn’t I sing a love song” by Chizh and the Soviet type “There is only a moment between the past and the future” and so on). Plus, at the beginning of the ride (from 10 a.m.) you could also hear the radio from VDNKh itself. As a result, some kind of mixture of sounds, different songs. In general, so-so "fun". And we thought that the skating rink was always as cool as it was when great dance music was playing. Then the small size of the skating rink was not a problem. And one more thing: all 3 times we visited this year, we did not see anyone monitoring compliance with safety rules on the ice. As a result, some skated at high speed in the opposite general direction and turned sharply; Some adults were giving others rides on “airplanes” at high speed, flying out at the feet of those around them. Unfortunately, they saw a man lying unconscious on the ice, and he was taken to the first aid station. Perhaps he just felt bad, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was shot down. (

Must go if skating in Moscow. Biggest ice rink and very well spaced. A lot of both fast food kiosks and cafes to have lunch/dinner

The biggest ice skating rink in Moscow. Must try

There are no refunds for returning tickets🤨🤨🤨🤨

This year's skating rink is disgusting. The rental pavilions where everyone changes their shoes are very small, people are cramped, there is only one toilet for the whole crowd. The skating rink itself is simply rubbish, you want the best, you ride in a small circle for 950 rubles, there is no festive decoration, at least they would decorate one Christmas tree, one advertisement, well, if you are advertising VK music, then at least you could put on normal music?! And then you can hear the music from one side of the skating rink. The food court is several stalls with donuts and donuts on the street in the cold. The ice is all clumsy. If earlier the skating rink at VDNKh was associated with a holiday, now it is associated with the letter G...o. I was shocked, we skated for at most 20 minutes, the worst skating rink in all of Moscow.

Love ice skating - not as big as I had expected but good all the same⛸☃️😁 better than anything we have in England!!

A huge park with endless possibilities that is currently being put back into full operation. The exhibition building "Belarus" has a lot to offer from the same region and the Cosmonaut Museum is perfect for children. The pond in the back invites you to stroll.

Beautiful place to spend some time ice-skating. Prices are good. We arrived at midday and stayed at ring until 3pm (when the shift was over). There are core places and small restaurants too.

I didn’t like the skating rink, it was modest, small, expensive prices: 1,500 rubles per person with skates. Just to extract money from tourists. There are few cafes, there is music, but everything looks cheap, there are no prices anywhere, look on the website, you came up with the prices from your head, I’ll tell you when I get there, I’ll definitely check it. The administrator knows nothing, she has no information. He says look at all the information on the Internet. We don't have anything hanging here. Like in Kazan.

Considered the biggest ice skating in Europe. The entrance for adults in weekend is 550 rub + another 250 ruble for skate renting. In the morning you can skate starting from 10 o'clock untill 3 pm. Nice experience.

World's largest skating rink. Entry fee applicable also with student discount. It's good to have knee pads for first timers. The place is made even beautiful with decorations.

They gave me stupid skates with broken laces. I went to change them and got the same ones, also wet. The staff is boorish, the woman who considers herself the administrator of a collection point for things and shoes has completely lost her competence. She’s impudent, rude, won’t accept the backpack, says that there are valuable things in it, so she can’t hand it over. I had to ride with a heavy backpack. Question for the administration: isn’t it possible to make a normal dressing room where you can put any things? Well, write this reply of yours “we are not responsible for things”, why so many complications? I would also like to draw attention to the work of the barkers who drive people off the ice! This happens 15 minutes before the end of the session! One of them brazenly pushed me so that I would leave quickly. Is this normal in your opinion? The skating rink became disgusting. 1 skate out of 10.

This was a lot of fun, and with some great views. If you like ice skating don't miss out.

fun night skating in moscow. end off with hot cacao from christmas market nearby. will come again

It's a very nice place to skate with wonderful lights and music. It has a place for kids or adults to practice with help materials. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because the helping planes that you hold on to are to light and tend to fall over with the child. Pricing is great and you can also rent knee elbow and hand/wrist pads with a helmet for only 50 RUB. (Not even a dollar) all in all a great place to go with the kids.

A wonderful place! Fantastic atmosphere created by music and lights!! The ice is not bad. Didn't stumble even once.

Dreamy! I recommend taking the morning session (11AM-3PM) if you prefer less people and easier tickets, but the evening session (5PM+) is downright out of a fairytale (need to fight more for the tickets though) By the way if you study full time here, pick the student tickets, show your студбилет and enjoy the discount

Was January 12, 2024 Good lighting and that's all. The ice is disgusting; chips that are not repaired after skating, but as it turns out, over time they are simply filled with water, which creates an uneven surface. I showed up there for an hour and a half, provided that I paid 800 rubles for entry. red price 100. The staff behaves as if I owe them something, I waited for 5 minutes to return and pick up replacement shoes. It’s even more pleasant to ride in the courtyards.

The skating rink is very small this year The ice is terrible Skates are uncomfortable The impression of the skating rink is terrible, I don’t recommend spending money and time on this bottom

The skating rink as such no longer exists, there is a small area where people cannot turn around. The ice is disgusting, the pavilion is small and cold. Rudeness at the entrance and exit. For all this joy - 950 rubles.

I broke my leg on this skating rink! But not on the ice itself, but where there are stalls with food and drinks. When there was ice in Moscow in mid-February, they didn’t clear it away from the cafes and didn’t even sprinkle anything on it, and the place with the cafe near the rocket was poorly lit, I didn’t expect it to be slippery and ended up skating!!! Then I lay on the ice for about 10 minutes with a broken leg, until they came for me on a sleigh and took me to the ambulance... not quickly either, but thank God they found a way to take me away 🙏🏻 In addition, the administrator of the skating rink behaved strangely - he giggled... and when my husband reprimanded him, he began to shout at him... In general, I no longer want to visit this skating rink!
