Tchaikovsky City Park combines green space and an amusement area in one location. With a total area of 17.05 ha, it is a prominent public space in the northern part of the city. Its location on the left bank of the Kama and its distance of 50 m from the Votkinsk Reservoir also give the park a clear connection to the surrounding waterscape.

The riverside promenade also brings together a range of different amenities: it has a sports ground, an amphitheatre, a children's area, a beach and a café. The paved paths are suitable for walking, running and cycling. If you plan to visit the beach or use specific facilities, check their conditions and opening status before your visit; both may vary.

The A. Danilov Federal Winter Sports Training Centre “Snezhinka” has ski jumping hills ranging from K-20 to K-125. Its history can be distinguished from an earlier milestone: the first ski jumping complex in Tchaikovsky was built in 1984, ahead of the Winter Spartakiad of the Peoples of the RSFSR.

Since opening in 2012, the training centre has hosted several major international competitions. These included World Cup events, the Masters World Championships and Continental Cup events. This describes the centre’s competition history, not a current events calendar. Those interested in ski jumping will find a specific historical and sporting focus for the city here.

The city park has a children's train ride called “Vokrug parka”; the minimum age specified is five. The “Skazka” train ride is also part of the park. These two named rides can be included in your visit as separate park attractions, without confusing their respective details.

The “Semeynaya zona” play area is intended for children up to seven years old. Each child may be accompanied by up to two people aged 18 or older. This age and supervision rule is particularly useful for families deciding which park activities are suitable for their group.

Tour programmes in Tchaikovsky include bus sightseeing tours, walking tours, museum tours and interactive programmes. A museum bus tour visits the dam at the Votkinsk Hydroelectric Power Station, Tchaikovsky Square and St George's Church. The customer provides transport for this tour.

Folklore festivals at the Saygatka Architectural and Ethnographic Complex are also included in the tour programmes; this does not imply specific dates or an annual recurrence. Another cultural attraction is the “Krestyanskaya usadba” Ethnographic Museum, which opened in 1993. The exhibition “Selskaya torgovaya lavka kontsa XIX – nachala XX v.v.” at 100 Gagarina Street opened in 2019.

The “Shkatulka kompozitora” Art Centre offers a workshop on printing a single-colour fabric bag in the traditional “Saygatskaya kletka” style and colour scheme. The workshop uses fabric stamps and an old printing technique and is intended for groups of ten or more. Check current availability with the organiser before including the workshop in your plans.

When looking for a hotel in Tchaikovsky, first consider whether the riverside and paths, park activities, sports history or culture will shape your stay.
