    In VDNKh - cost R300, guided tours every 20 mins. All in Russian though, would’ve been good if they had English translation or English guide.

    I recently visited the Buran interactive museum at VDNKh, and it was an incredible and exciting journey into space history. The entire museum is designed in a space theme, and each exhibit tells the amazing story of space exploration. I was fascinated by interactive installations that make you feel like you are a participant in space flights. I was able to launch a rocket, land a spacecraft, and even undergo astronaut training. It was fun and educational at the same time. One of the main advantages of the museum is the presence of guides who accompany visitors and share fascinating facts about each exhibition. They answered all my questions and helped me understand the details of space technology. It is also worth noting that the museum offers interesting video presentations and documentaries about the development of the Russian space program. I learned a lot of new and exciting things about space missions and achievements.

    We were in Moscow with our child during the school holidays. One of the points of the educational program was a visit to the Exhibition of National Economic Achievements. We also visited this so-called interactive museum. I was left with some kind of dual impression from what I saw. Firstly, this is not a real spaceship, and it has never been in space. This is only a technological replica used in production to test parameters, and its overall dimensions coincide with the shuttle itself. In the nineties it was used as a cinema in Gorky Park. Naturally, after such use there is nothing original inside. Secondly, all these are achievements of the Soviet Union. And over the past thirty years, Russia, unfortunately, has not created anything new in astronautics. The tour is very short, broken up by two videos. My daughter made two conclusions: 1. We must be proud of the USSR. 2. At VDNKh they are trying to monetize the entire Soviet heritage and everywhere you have to pay money to enter. I would still like to see the achievements of the Russian Federation At the same time, it is worth noting the social responsibility of the institution; there are benefits for pensioners, for disabled children and one accompanying person free of charge.

    It's totally worth it to visit if you're a space nerd. The tour starts with an cinematic movie about the history of the spacecraft. After this you pass through different rooms where original components are displayed. My favorite part was just before entering the simulator, the proyections on the roof of this room are very cool. The flight simulator is quite basic and not realistic but still worth it to try.

    The Buran was an incredible machine: this museum does not show it. It's more for kids...

    It's just a model, not an original or prototype version. Nevertheless it's a great spot if you visit the cosmonauts musuem. You can book a little tour and go inside the Buran model. There you will find a lot of interesting parts of the original Buran mission. It's a nice little event, but it's not worth traveling there to see Buran only.

    From the real Buran there is only a copy of the building and some exhibits inside. But the excursion is interesting. I recommend.

    The “excursion” is not worth the money, it’s not even worth going there for free... there is too much of an exhibit, and the guide’s knowledge is very limited. Find information on the Internet, read it, and it will be more interesting... it’s better to go straight to the Cosmos pavilion. And even more interesting is the museum in Kaluga))))

    Cool spaceship, unfortunately no exhibits from the bural and the spaceship is unfortunately a replica, the inside is not like a spaceship usually but is like a kind of exhibition in the form of a sale but the tour is good

    I liked everything very much, good excursions. After half an hour of being in Buran, it seems that I myself have found myself in space.
