City Farm is an educational family park located within the VDNKh grounds in Moscow, designed to simulate a rural agricultural environment in an urban setting. The facility occupies a 4-hectare territory featuring livestock paddocks, vegetable gardens, and an apiary. It houses a collection of domesticated animals including alpacas, goats, donkeys, zebu, and various poultry species. Visitors can interact with animals through managed feeding programs and petting areas. The park includes a specialized workshop space for children's craft sessions and culinary masterclasses. An on-site greenhouse demonstrates year-round hydroponic and soil-based cultivation techniques. The infrastructure includes a natural pond and a restaurant that incorporates farm-fresh produce into its menu. The design emphasizes experiential learning, allowing children to observe life cycles of farm animals and plants. It functions as a permanent facility rather than a seasonal pop-up.
