Entertainment Center, Moscow

If you have a few hours to spare struggling to find what to do and would like to entertain yourself, check out the Entertainment Center at 16, Arbat. Here, for as little as $30+ you can treat yourself to a variety of fun activities on a single ticket that covers all of them for a whole year. The offer includes the Maze of Fear (18+), the Mirror Maze, The Museum of Eroticism (18+), The Maze of Ribbons, The Smash the Dishes, The Pool of Balls, The House of Giant and the Upside-Down House. There are also few other attractions, like The Prison Break, in the neighboring New Arbat street, too.

The Maze of Horror – absolutely terrifying – is definitely NOT for the faint-hearted: full of live actors ready to grab your legs, jump out at you and chase you through a dark labyrinth. The Mirror Maze, an almost pitch black labyrinth with an occasional strobe-light, is better be avoided by the claustrophobic lot who fear being alone and lost for quite a while.

Perhaps even more infuriating and claustrophobic than that is the Maze of Ribbons, a stress-filled hell disguised as a colorful fun maze. The Museum of Eroticism – absolutely hilarious – is a perfect fit for immature adults: full of great photo opportunities, weird sex toys, dildos and dolls galore. In the House of Giant you will feel like Gulliver on one of his travels, surrounded with huge furniture.

Finally, the Upside-Down House – a colorful, cozy, interestingly decorated topsy-turvy apartment – is probably the most fun here, ideal for families with kids under seven (especially if the weather is not so good). Everything here is turned upside down: bed on the ceiling, chandelier on the floor, dinner table 'hanging in mid-air' and a refrigerator with the food turned 180 degrees.

An interesting place to spend time with humor: curios and uplifting for adults and delightful for children. Positive emotions for the whole day, plus plenty of opportunities for an unforgettable photo session, including a romantic one.
