We have collected places for active and relaxing leisure — from large entertainment centers to green parks where you can go without tickets or prior booking.
Smile Park: a Town of Professions, Trampolines, and a Ninja Park
At Smile Park, time flies by unnoticed for the little ones: first, a child takes on challenges in the ninja park, then jumps on a large trampoline arena, slides down the «Volcano» slide, or dives into a foam pit. When there are too many activities, the pace can be slowed down in the creative zone or with PlayStation.
For younger guests, there is an interactive playground, ride-on cars, and a modular maze with a ball pit. A separate part of the park is the Town of Professions, where children play doctors, chefs, rescuers, and other adult roles.
Some of the entertainment is not included in the main ticket. Additional payment is required for the extreme park, roller rink, VR simulators, air hockey, and arcade machines.
Smile Park also hosts birthday celebrations, with animators, shows, and separate rooms for groups. Guests' admission tickets are paid for separately, and it is recommended to book a date at least a week in advance.

«Zakrevsky Period Park»: More Than 50 Activities for Different Ages
At «Zakrevsky Period Park», a child can move from the trampoline arena and zip line to an obstacle course, mazes, or video games. More than 50 activities have been gathered across an area of over 3,500 m²: active attractions, board games, VR, and PlayStation. There is no time limit on the stay, so there is no need to hurry to try everything within one hour.
A separate area has been arranged for children under six, with their own maze, play area, and trampoline. This means the youngest visitors do not have to share all the attractions with older visitors.
Between activities, you can take a break at the family café, while desserts and cakes can be ordered from the center's own pastry shop.

At «Ihrolend», a child can start with the trampoline arena and four-story maze, play mini-football, and then move on to mini bowling or arcade machines. A separate playground has been arranged for the youngest visitors.

Park with Water Features near Shukhevycha: a Route Around the Lakes
In this park, a walk does not end at the first children's slide. From the playground, you can follow the paths to a football field, a chess pavilion, or a sports area for TRX training, and then head down closer to the water. An observation deck and special fishing platforms have been arranged by the lake.
A separate point along the route is a gazebo in the Crimean Tatar style, with a mosaic floor and decor created with the participation of ceramic artist Rustem Skibin. Roses, hydrangeas, and a lavender field have been planted nearby. There are benches and gazebos in different parts of the park, so active games can easily be alternated with a rest by the water.
Location: between Chervonoi Kalyny Ave. and Honore de Balzac St., near Romana Shukhevycha Ave.
«Desnianskyi» Park: a Short Walk Before or After the Movie
A trip to «Florence» doesn't have to end immediately after the credits. «Desnianskyi» Park is located nearby, with two children's playgrounds and a sports area where you can spend a little more time outdoors — walk along the paths, play, or simply take a break after the screening.
Location: between Chervonoi Kalyny Ave., Ronald Reagan St., and Arkitektora Nikolaieva St.
After a day spent on trampolines, in the pool, or at the park, the question of dinner is usually settled quickly. In our guide «TOP 10 Kyiv Restaurants with the Tastiest Pizza», you'll find addresses for a family dinner in Troieshchyna and beyond.
