And why actually central Russia? There are also places in Siberia where you can spend your autumn holidays!

Baikal

Baikal is one of the pearls of our country, attracting tourists from year to year, despite the lack of necessary infrastructure. What can you see there with children on autumn holidays?

First of all, it is the lake itself. In early November, you can still ride on it on a boat.

On Baikal, you should definitely go to the village of Listvyanka, having visited the Taltsy open-air museum before that. This is a museum complex in which the appearance of a Siberian village is recreated. Here you will see small churches, huts of wealthy peasants, you can walk on stilts and ride a wagon.

In Listvyanka, the Nerpinarium and the Limnological Museum are must-sees. There you can also dive to the bottom of the lake in a virtual bathyscaphe.

Limnological Museum in Listvyanka

• It is also a sin not to taste smoked omul there.
• Another attraction of Listvyanka is the Chersky stone - the top of a mountain 755 meters high. There is an observation deck that can be reached by cable car.
• Also in Listvyanka you can visit the Museum of Soviet Childhood Puppets and look through the largest solar telescope in Russia.

To relax in Listvyanka, you will first need to get to Irkutsk by train or plane. By the way, the city itself is also worthy of at least a one-day excursion. From there you can get to Listvyanka by fixed-route taxi- from Irkutsk it is about 60 km.

You can book a cheap hostel in Irkutsk for a couple of days or for a day, or immediately choose one of the bases directly on Lake Baikal, for example, on the Hotelok hotel website , "Scarlet Sails".

Mountain Altai

Another branded holiday destination in Siberia, now Western, is Gorny Altai. The original idea would be to spend autumn holidays in Gorny Altai school break. Many residents of central Russia believe that Gorny Altai is insanely far away. Meanwhile - even for residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg - it's only four hours by plane! And for tourists from Yekaterinburg, for example, even less - you can get there by car in a day.

On the Chuisky tract you can stop at the base "Tursib", next to which there is indoor water park. Helps overcome shortcomings weather conditions and base "Three Bears", where there are conditions for children's recreation - a children's room and a mini-zoo. Other bases located near the water park will also be happy to meet you.

The owners of the bases will offer tourists comfortable rest and varied excursion programs e.g. visiting an apiary, walking tours of sights Gorny Altai or a visit to a Russian banya with herbal tea.

Autumn weather is conducive to cognitive rest, therefore, in Gorny Altai (Chemalsky district) you can visit interesting authentic museums that will help you get acquainted with the history and culture of Altai and at the same time their visit will be exciting and boring for you. For example, visiting a chicken hut in the museum ""

or life size mammoth skeleton in .

At the same time, prices at the bases of the Altai Mountains are much lower than at the resorts of the same Sochi.

There is a base on the Seminsky Pass "Dynamo", for which you can purchase a ticket for the "Sons and Daughters" program, which offers organized children's recreation. As part of the program, master classes in making dolls are held, so you will have something to do even on rainy days.

In addition, there is a play corner in the base room where your children will have fun playing.

After all, the off-season slush of the fall break is coming to an end. There is already snow on the Seminsky Pass (by the way, the place is generally unique for the off-season: during the autumn holidays it is already snowing, and at the end of March it is still on the spring holidays), so children and their parents can indulge themselves with bagel rides.

As you can see, in our country there are places to go for the autumn holidays with a child. Choose the direction that you like best, where it is closer to go and the ticket is cheaper.

You can see the prices of air tickets to different destinations in this form of cheap air tickets.

Think how and where to spend autumn holidays, is not so simple for many reasons.

Firstly, they last only a week, and therefore it is not necessary to plan a long trip. Secondly, it's already late, the weather is appropriate, I want warmth and sun, and beach season already ended in many countries.

Thirdly, the money of the family budget intended for recreation has already been spent for the most part.

And, of course, I want the child not to relax too much, because there is no time at all to tune in to study. This means that rest have a cognitive bias. What would you prefer in this case? There are not so few places where you can take the child at this time. And you can choose based on the interests of the children and their financial capabilities.

Autumn holidays last only a week, and this is far from the best week of the year. There is slush on the street, the mood is so-so, you want to sleep until dinner, bury yourself in TV and watch cartoons.

But best holiday- change of activities, so do not waste time and take the holidays into your own hands.

A few rules for a good vacation:

• In the first two or three days that fall on the weekend, allow the child to be lazy and do nothing at all. Sleep, eat, get stuck in the tablet, take a walk to the nearest cinema - that's all right. Autumn holidays are needed for a respite. A few days of seal rest will be just right.
• Then you need to do your homework in order to forget about them, how about nightmare, until the end of the week and do not remember every evening that the lessons have not been done, but time is running out.
• And only then come to grips with entertainment.

Where to go on vacation

Don't sit at home. If there is no way to escape for a week and go to, spend more time outdoors. When you get tired of collecting leaves and acorns for crafts, come up with something more exciting.

Museums, exhibition centers and theaters are preparing special programs for the autumn holidays. For some 10 minutes spent looking at posters, you will make a program for all the holidays.

Allow your child to choose which activities he wants to attend, so as not to drag him out of the house against his will.

2. Go to another city

A good way to spend your holidays when hometown everything has already been checked. The main thing is not to choose an excursion to travel agency and go on your own.

Choose one of the neighboring cities, find the sights you want to visit, book a hotel for a couple of days and go.

Explain to your child how to use city maps, how to navigate unfamiliar streets, how to politely ask for directions and specify where the bus is going. Such studies are even more interesting than new museums and exhibitions.

At the same time, show the children how to plan a trip correctly, where and how to buy tickets, what services to use to find a hotel. It will be useful for high school students, especially if they are going to study in another city.

3. Find the deepest puddle in the park

fight with bad weather useless, so use it. Fun for younger students: bring rubber boots, a stick, a marker and a ruler. Mark the stick and go measure the depth of the surrounding puddles. Record the results in a special notebook. In addition, each puddle must be sketched.

If you take measurements every day for a week, you will get a finished project that will come in handy at school. This will help to look at the slush from a different angle and spur interest in research.

4. Lay out a maze of leaves

On a walk in the park, take advantage of what nature has given and lay out a labyrinth from the leaves. First, you will work hard to make an interesting track. Then the kids will play with it.

5. Ride a horse

This is not about a five-minute ride in the park, but about a full-fledged lesson in an equestrian club. Horse riding is an active sport that will keep you warm in any weather. And getting to know the horses will cheer you up: the horses are warm, huge, each with a unique character.

6. Take part in a charity event

Volunteer with older students: help organize a charity event, spend a day at an animal shelter, plant a tree, or help clean up the playground. Socially useful work ennobles and gives a lot of interesting experience.

What to do at home

When rain and wind are keeping you out, find something warm and cozy to do. Someone likes quiet activities, but someone does not want to sit at the table and collect another craft from leaves and cones. For such there are entertainment more interesting.

7. Host a board game championship

Get a new one every night board game to keep the whole family busy. Record the results in a table so that at the end of the holidays you can sum up the results and distribute prizes.

Aerobatics - come up with your own board, draw cards and write down the rules.

8. Start exercising

On the autumn holidays, you should not get out of the regime too much. After the first days of unbridled rest, you need to return to the working rhythm so as not to go to school completely broken.

But try waking your child up early during the holidays. It's time to introduce family into the daily routine with some fun music.

9. Throw a pajama party

At school, children communicate a lot with classmates, so there may not be enough staff during the holidays, especially towards the end of the week. Encourage your child to invite friends over for a pajama party with cartoons (or movies, depending on the child's age), fun and not-so-healthy snacks, and horror stories.

10. Get a pet

If you wanted to, then the autumn holidays are the time. The child will have a lot of free time, which he will spend on a new friend, and the animal will be able to adapt to your home in a week.

During the holidays, the child will learn the basic rules for caring for an animal and will be able to integrate communication with him into his schedule.

11. Have a Dress Up Marathon

It requires a little more imagination than other activities, but the result is more fun.

Think about what each new day will be dedicated to. For example, Monday - to the sea, Tuesday - to the sky, and so on. On Monday, put on vests or something striped, assign roles (who is the captain, who is the boatswain) and until the end of the day communicate as if you were on sailing ship. During the day, have time to scrub the deck, load supplies into the hold (that is, go to the store and fill the refrigerator). At the same time, tell the child everything related to “marine” affairs: why watches are needed, what a compass is for, how to navigate by the stars, and so on.

This marathon is combined with any other entertainment. Choose exhibitions, cartoons and games on a given topic.

Costumes are made from improvised materials. Dressing up helps to quickly immerse yourself in the topic. Don't forget to take pictures in person.

12. Make new sweets every day

Cookies, pies and everything that will help you get more warmth and energy on autumn evenings. At the same time, teach your child how to cook.

13. Make a feeder

It will be quite cold soon, but you will have time to make a bird feeder out of anything: wood, a tin can or a plastic bottle. Perhaps it is useful not only for birds.
