Do you want to come to a safari park? Zadonsk is waiting for you!

Today almost every region of Russia has its own safari park. Zadonsk is no exception. However, it is necessary to visit it, because it gives a unique opportunity to visit ... But about this - just below.

Local businessman and Zadonskiy "Disneyland"

The history of this safari park is unique. A few years ago it was founded by local entrepreneur Sergei Uvarkin at his own expense. Nobody still can not understand why a person who knows how to count every penny, created a project without reckoning on the proceeds from it. Sergei himself explained this by the fact that he likes to see smiles, that they are more expensive than money. This explanation very few people took seriously. But the fact remains. Even today, after the tragic death of the founder of the park, the entrance to it remains free.

Today, the son of Sergei Uvarkin follows the park. Initially, there was no name for this place of rest. However, the people who fell in love with the local "Disneyland", quickly gave him the name: safari park.

Zadonsk today can be proud of: only here people have a unique opportunity to visit ... Kudykina mountain. This official name is worn by this recreation park, loved not only by local residents, but also by tourists who come here specially. A unique opportunity to visit Kudykina Mountain is worth nothing: you can walk here for free.

"Come both old and young"

Excursion to this park is like traveling in a time machine.

One of the attractions of the park is the Scythian fortress. It is located on a hill, so it can be seen from afar. And from the hill you can perfectly see the whole safari park, Zadonsk and its surroundings. Stylized antique buildings attract everyone. Still: it is easy to imagine a real Scythian here. Excursions in the fortress have not yet begun, restoration is still under way. But very soon guests will be able to see firsthand the life of the ancient people.

Children younger most like green meadow with animals walking on it. Here, cows coexist with kangaroos, yaks wander side by side with lamas, horses - with camels, and domestic geese in beauty are in no way inferior to peacocks. Hand animals all day are in a huge, an area of 70 hectares of aviary, and at night they are placed in separate cells.

Only male ostriches are kept separately. Severe and aggressive males with anyone do not even want for a while territory, strive to pinch visitors. But peaceful women walk quietly: their tourists are only interested as a source of delicacies.

Children walk, parents rest

Especially for active kids in the territory of a modern children's town. While children are entertained and compete in dexterity, parents can safely rest on the benches. There are many of them.

What else attracts a safari park (Zadonsk)? Residents of this city aspire to sit on the shore of a park pond. Until recently, you could not only rest here, but also swim. However, Rospotrebnadzor prohibited bathing for a while. But no one is forbidden to dive into the font of the Holy Spring. Located in the southern part of the park, it attracts children and adults with the purest ice water. If someone does not have enough courage to swim in the snow-cold water, he can just type it for drinking. It is said that holy water from this spring liberates from sins and brings happiness.

And in the park there are three heroes. Considering them, you can draw two conclusions.

1. Modern men milled compared to them.
2. The bogatyrs look small on the background of a forgotten helmet, which probably belonged to an even more ancient hero.

End the tour of the park can be, after visiting a huge, but perfectly present pitcher. It lies not far from the ravine and is very popular not only for children.

Animators will help you

Of course, not all parents have such a supply of energy and energy as children. That's why animators work in the park.

Immediately at the entrance of the guests meets a "real" pirate ship. When running around, climbing, jumping and wading through it to children bothers, the animators offer them to find a treasure that somewhere in the park was buried by pirates. Well, which of the children refuses such an adventure? It should be noted that animators carefully monitor the safety of treasure hunters.

On the territory of the park you can ride in a wagon harnessed by unusually beautiful horses.

Fans of selfi and family photos await Bagheera, Cheburashka, a huge Horse, Matroskin and many other cartoon characters. And if you are not interested in taking photos with cartoon characters, you can wait a moment and arrange a photo session with any animal from the mini-zoo.

It is worth noting that the animators in the park are free of charge, and the cost of riding animals, attending a performance in the Theater of Wonders and other entertainment does not exceed 150 rubles.
