11:30, 8 April

The capital's amusement parks are preparing for the opening of the new season. Ruslan Kotsevich is the Deputy General Director of "Minskzelenstroy", spoke about the preparation and new developments, the correspondent reports Soyuz.by .

The speaker noted that the balance of "Minskzelenstroy" includes 58 attractions in the parks named after Hugo Chavez, Chelyuskintsev, Gorky and 900th anniversary of Minsk. Work on the deconservation of the attractions is currently being completed, cargo tests and an inspection of the illumination are being carried out.

Ruslan Kosevich emphasized that "last year, the Swans attraction was decommissioned in Chelyuskintsev Park, and the Waltz in Gorky Park. Similar new attractions have already been installed in their place. In addition, "Dragons" in Gorky Park and a Belarusian-made "Mix" attraction in Chelyuskintsev Park have been purchased and will soon appear. Work is also underway to purchase a mechanized Fire Brigade attraction in Gorky Park".

The opening of the season is planned in two stages. In Chelyuskintsev, Hugo Chavez and 900th Anniversary parks in Minsk, attractions will start operating at the end of April (if the weather is favorable), and in Gorky Park after reconstruction, presumably in early May.

The working hours of the parks will remain the same: Monday and Tuesday (Wednesday in the 900th Anniversary Park). Amusement rides will work from 11:00 to 21:00 (on Friday, Saturday, pre-holiday and public holidays - until 22:00). The children's playground in Gorky Park is open from 10:00 to 21:00. 

Prices for rides will remain at the level of 2024– averaging Br2.5.
