8 ideas where to go with your child on the weekend of May 22-23 in Kiev. Children will have a tour of the capital, an architectural festival with quests and a light and music fountain. And moms can become supermoms at a festival for families.
Despite the cloudy and cold weekdays, the weather should clear up next weekend, according to forecasters. Therefore, it makes sense to plan an interesting and informative pastime. These days, two festivals will take place in the capital at once: "Supermama is Me" and "ARCHIKIDZ", a children's festival of architecture and music. Both events will be interesting for both children and their parents. So hurry up to confirm your registration. Fans of the Frozen cartoon will enjoy a unique show of Disney animation accompanied by a symphony orchestra and solo vocalists. In the afternoon on Sunday you can sign up for a fascinating excursion from the "Interesting Kiev" project, and spend the evening in Syretsky Park, where an interactive light and music fountain began its work.
