Every Russian child knows the fairy tale of Царевна Лягушка, but few know that she lived on Lake Nero in Ростов Великий. At least, that is what the creators of the «Царевна Лягушка» museum believe.
The frog was a sacred animal of the Merya tribe, a Finno-Ugric people who lived in these places in ancient times. It is quite logical to assume that a people who revered frogs could create a beautiful fairy tale about a beautiful princess living inside a green bumpy amphibian.
The «Царевна Лягушка» museum operates at the hotel of the same name, which is housed in the house of the merchant Малышева, built back in 1790. The first fairy-tale museum in Ростов will introduce your little one to the heroes of Russian folk tales in a fascinating interactive format. During an interesting экскурсия, you can play games and take part in contests here. Little visitors have a chance to defeat Кощей Бессмертный by breaking the needle that was in the egg, which before that was in the duck, and before that in the chest...
After веселых игр, you can and should have a bite to eat. In the stove of Василисы Прекрасной, guests are in for a treat, and not an ordinary one, but one with prophetic words that will certainly come true if you believe in them. At the end of the экскурсия, you will be shown a huge collection of a wide variety of frog figurines - both ordinary ones and those of royal blood.
After a visit full of impressions to the world of fairy tales, you can have lunch at the «Иван Царевич» restaurant, opened in the same hotel complex.
