Tchaikovsky City Park covers 17.05 hectares, including around 2 hectares of amusement area and 15 hectares of green space. It is in the northern part of the city, on the left bank of the Kama and 50 m from the Votkinsk Reservoir. When choosing a holiday apartment, the park, riverbank, culture and winter sports can each provide a different starting point. Consider which of these you would like to focus on during your stay.
Activities by the water
The Tchaikovsky riverfront has a sports ground, an amphitheatre, a children's area, a beach and a café. Its paved paths are suitable for walking, running and cycling. You can choose between getting active on the paths and enjoying the other facilities along the riverfront. As beach conditions and the operation of facilities may vary, it is advisable to check the current situation before visiting.
Park attractions with age limits
The city park has the «Skazka» train ride and the «Vokrug parka» children's train ride. The minimum age for «Vokrug parka» is five. The park also has the «Semeynaya zona» play area for children up to the age of seven. Up to two accompanying adults aged 18 or over are permitted per child. These age limits can help you choose the right activities if you are travelling with children.
Ski-jumping history in Tchaikovsky
The first ski-jumping complex in Tchaikovsky was built in 1984, ahead of the Winter Spartakiad of the Peoples of the RSFSR. The «Snezhinka» Federal Winter Sports Training Centre named after A. Danilov includes ski jumps ranging from K-20 to K-125. Since opening in 2012, the centre has hosted several major international competitions, including World Cup events, the Masters World Championship and Continental Cup events.
City tours and culture
Tour programmes in Tchaikovsky include bus sightseeing tours, walking tours, museum tours and interactive programmes. These different formats offer options for getting an overview of the city or visiting places connected with its museums. The museum's bus tour goes to the Votkinsk Hydroelectric Power Plant dam, Tchaikovsky Square and St George's Church. Participants must arrange their own transport for this tour.
The «Krestyanskaya usadba» ethnographic museum in Tchaikovsky opened in 1993. Another exhibition, «Selskaya torgovaya lavka kontsa XIX – nachala XX v.v.», is located at 100 Gagarina Street and opened in 2019. Its title refers to rural trade from the late 19th to the early 20th century. The two dates provide a point of reference for these different cultural history topics.
