Again took the kids with me yesterday to visit Kubinka's Park Patriot, nicknamed "The Russian Military Disneyland" by western media. Easy to access using public transportation the place was almost empty during morning. The place is huge, I mean HUGE and we rented bicycles to move around and avoid waiting the shuttle buses every time. The aviation collection is of course not comparable to Monino, yet the fact that there are no fences and that you can touch the aircraft makes it a quite unique experience. There are a lot of ladders and stairs around the tanks and some planes, it allowed to take pictures from different angles and elevations, enjoy!

Wow! - it looks like a fabulous place - with lots of operational types (unlike Monino which is mostly prototypes and one-offs).

 

How easy is it to get to ?? - public transport from Moscow??

 

Are foreigners allowed in - can you just turn up and get access??

 

Great photos - thanks for sharing.

Thank you Ken, I spent a lot of time there (from 9:30 to 16:30 😅) climbing on the tanks was a lot of fun!

 

Quite easy to reach. Express train from Beloruskaya train station to Kubinka-1 in 58 minutes, then a regular taxi to Park Patriot or the Tank museum. The drivers are used to foreign visitors he gave me a card in English with his phone number, I called and he picked me up on the return. I just purchased normal tickets, there is no more foreigners pricing/photography extra like it used to be, Monino as well. No need to show your passport also, only for the bikes rental.

I really like how this museum is laid out and organized. Its like an outdoor recreation park with aircraft laying about. I half expected to see picnic tables, grills (BBQ's), a game of catch or Frisbee being played. Very cool! Nice photos and thanks for sharing.

 

Regards,

Don

Wow! What an awesome place! Everything looks in pretty decent shape for being outdoors. Tires still inflated, struts don't appear to be depleted of their pneumatic/hydraulic servicing, is there a group that keeps them looking so nice?

 

The kids climbing around on the tanks is great! American parents would be freaking out.
