Aquapark in Kstovo: opening, prices, actions and testimonials of visitors

In the late 90's early 2000's in largecities of Russia began to open such unusual places for the domestic inhabitant of mass entertainment, as water parks. Our consumer is accustomed to seeing such luxury only on screens, so the excitement was grandiose. Similar structures began to be built in resort areas and rich regions. Until recently, residents of central Russia could afford water entertainment only in Moscow or St. Petersburg, but in 2015 the long-awaited opening of a water park in Kstovo in the Nizhny Novgorod region took place.

History of creation

Information about the construction of a new facilityappeared in 2013, and then there was a solemn laying of the capsule in the future foundation of the building. The initial budget was about 800 million rubles, but, as always in our country, the amount was constantly increasing and supplemented. Many people no longer hoped for a happy ending of the aqua park project in Kstovo.

The place of construction was chosen not accidentally. In Nizhny Novgorod there are no water parks, as there are few free areas in the city for such a large-scale construction. 30 km from the regional center there is a small town Kstovo with a population of 70 thousand people, and to reach it is not difficult. In addition, this construction was a good incentive for the development of local infrastructure.

Originally the date of the opening of the water park in Kstovocalled the end of 2014, but several internal work was delayed, so the first visitors appeared here closer to the spring of 2015. The water park was given a sonorous name "Atoll". According to the designers, equipment and comfort fully comply with European standards, therefore the park can compete with the Kazan or some Moscow water entertainment centers.

The long-awaited opening was held on February 7. Outside the window, frost and blizzards, but here the tropical warmth, water and all sorts of attractions. But the first day did not live up to the expectations of the organizers - only about 200 people came to the water park. People were angered by exorbitant prices, especially during the severe crisis in Russia. So, an adult ticket cost 3 thousand rubles, more was only in water parks in Moscow. The executives soon realized their mistake, and prices fell slightly, resulting in a noticeable increase in visitors. Interest in the photo was also promoted by the opening of the water park in Kstovo, which visitors posted on their pages and in the official group.

Guest Reviews

Opening of the water park in Kstovo with impatience waitedsome years. In the harsh conditions of the Russian climate, the appearance of such a place is a real gift for both adults and children. The first reviews turned out to be contradictory. Those who have never been to such institutions wrote about their enthusiasm and appreciation to the organizers. More sophisticated people noted the cheapness of rides, the banality of the park. Of course, the water park in Kstovo does not even hold up to the average American such projects, which have developed infrastructure and entertainment industry. But for an average citizen visiting "Atoll" is a great opportunity for recreation, especially during frosty winter days.
