Self-proclaimed “main skating rink of the country”
In recent years, the skating rink at VDNKh - a park that was overtaken by reconstruction later than other sites - was only trying to compete in popularity with Gorky Park. For the second year in a row, the site administration immediately calls its skating rink the main one in the country. Where it really shines is in its scale: ice was poured over an area of 20 thousand square meters, making it the largest artificial ice skating rink in all of Europe. There is a hockey rink, a children's skating rink, and light installations in the form of trees and forest animals. The site regularly hosts ice shows and performances by popular skaters.
