A
Moscow Children’s Musical Theatre
Founded by theatre legend Natalya Sats (the official name of the theatre is the Natalya Sats Moscow Children’s Theatre) in 1965, this was the country’s first children’s theatre. Sats, apparently, was the inspiration for Prokofiev’s famous rendition of Peter and the Wolf, which is still among the best and most popular performances at the children’s theatre. All performances staged here are highly entertaining and educational, as actors appear in costume before the show and talk with the children.

Durov Animal Theatre
Dedushka Durov (Grandpa Durov) founded this zany theatre for kids as a humane alternative to the horrible treatment of animals he saw at the circus. His shows feature mostly domestic animals, including cats and dogs, farm animals and the occasional bear. His most popular show is Railway for Mice, and guided tours of the museum give kids a closer look at the railway.
