Time of the First. Yuri Gagarin. First in Space

For the birthday of Earth's first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, VDNKh's Cosmonautics and Aviation center has launched the Time of the First. Yuri Gagarin series of themed tours. Tour participants will learn how Yuri Gagarin spent his childhood and youth, why he became a cosmonaut, and which spacesuit he made his first flight in. Visitors will be told not only about the life and work of the first man in space, but also about the development of Soviet and Russian cosmonautics. The tour visits the center's main exhibition and includes a viewing of models of the SK-1 spacesuit and the Vostok space capsule.

Tours take place only with advance booking on Tuesdays through Sundays, from 11:00 to 22:00. The starting time of each tour is arranged individually. Duration — 45 minutes
