Aboard your own private catamaran our crew are on hand to help make your Christmas Party perfect for your group.

These are just a few of the Gold Coast Christmas Party ideas available with Sailing in Paradise. The options are endless and our friendly team are on hand to help you plan 'your Christmas Party your way'.

We have looked after all sorts of industry clients from fitness studios and uber-cool restaurants to banks and legal firms (and everything in between). There is something about spending time on the water that brings people (of all ages and backgrounds) together and we would love to put on a Christmas Party your whole team will talk about for years to come!

Christmas Party Planners, we are here to help...

OK you have found your perfect Christmas Party, yay! What now? Time for a mojito…(ahem, well we need to set the scene for what's to come).

But in all seriousness, you are busy, we totally get it! That's why we offer a fuss-free service. From the moment you enquire and receive our Christmas Party info pack we are here to make your life easier.

If you want to book in your party now and forget about it until the day that is totally fine. We can take care of food, drinks and activities and we will even provide your team with photos of your cruise afterwards. It's all part of the service. So you can actually relax and enjoy the party!

The Christmas Party Boats

What do our customers love about our catamarans? Well, time and time again they tell us they are the ideal venue for parties! And work Christmas Parties are no exception.

Why book your Christmas Party with us?

1-102 guest capacity.

Our 3 luxurious and spacious sailing catamarans mean we can now cater for larger groups of up to 102 people – The Spirit Of Gwonda and Oceans can accommodate up to 30 guests (plus 2 crew) and Island Time has a capacity of up to 42 guests (plus 2-3 crew).

Our boats are ideal for parties

The layout of our boats are ideal for a Christmas party venue and make entertaining large groups a delight. The spacious interior of the boat offers plentiful seating, a large central table, a permanent hard roof and 360 degree visibility (making it suitable for all weather conditions).

On-board you will find a small marine BBQ, large eskys (ice supplied), Fusion Marine sound system with speakers inside and out, bluetooth connectivity and premium Spotify provided and marine toilet.

The front of the boat is extremely popular with guests, offering a trampoline-style area perfect for lazing in the sun whilst listening to the sounds of your favourite Christmas songs streaming through our sound system.

Island landings and Beach Activities included

The shallow draft make the vessel perfect for pulling up onto a beach at Wavebreak Island or one of the many golden sandy shores in the Gold Coast broadwater. Your skipper will pick the best spot for you on the day!

Fancy floating around on our splash mat or maybe giving Stand Up Paddle Boarding a go? Perhaps you are feeling energetic and want to bring the team together with a hit of beach cricket or volleyball. We carry all of these activities on-board for your use free of charge.

Smooth and Stable Catamarans = No sea-sickness guaranteed

If your boss got sick once on a Caribbean Cruise, or Karen from accounts feels a bit queasy whenever she gets in the bath, please tell them not to worry. Why? A few reasons;

• We sail in calm protected waters (we do not go offshore)
• We operate a wide, stable catamaran (not the same side to side rocking of single hull vessels) meaning you won’t spill a drop of your Christmas cocktail and you won’t be feeling queasy.
• You will be having too much fun!

PS... Karen should probably see a doctor, this is not normal :-)

What's Included

• Private use of your own beautiful sailing catamaran for 3 to 6 hours
• Skipper plus one crew, (our crew are heaps of fun and have a laid-back yet professional nature) we promise you will love them. Check out the ' about us ' page to meet the gang!
• Island Activities for day charters incl. Stand up Paddle Boards, beach activities and splash mat
• Use of tablet with premium Spotify and sound system on board
• Use of small marine BBQ if required
• Use of large eskies (ice supplied)
• Memento photos taken by our crew
• Lots of FUN!!

Christmas Party FAQ's

Where do your boats depart from?

Our boats are berthed at Marina Mirage. Please see the ' contact us ' page on our website for further details and a map. Marina Mirage is about 10 mins from Surfers and 15 mins from Broadbeach.

Where can I park?

There is parking available at Mariners Cove (paid) and Marina Mirage plus limited street parking on Seaworld Drive. Please check signage at time of parking and consider ride share for a stress free arrival at your charter (especially during busy times of year).

What about other transport options?

There are lots of ways to get to the boat! The most popular (and cost effective/convenient) is often via Maxi Taxis. We can also help to arrange bus transfers for larger groups.

Can I BYO food and drink?

Yes if you would like to bring your own food and drinks on board that is completely fine.

I am short on time can you please help me out with catering/drinks?

Yes, we also offer catering and drinks service for your convenience. Please request our full catering list as advance bookings are required. We offer a range of catering options from grazing boards, to canapes and private chefs.

Do you have Eskies on board?

Yes we do and we also provide ice. The eskies are very large and can be used for food or drink.

Where can we go on our charter?

We operate in the calm, protected waters of the Gold Coast Broadwater. Where to go very much depends on what you would like to do and how long your boat charter is for so please feel free to discuss this with our team. In a 3 hour charter during the day our guests usually love a swim stop at Wavebreak Island where you can enjoy the range of island activities on board. Your skipper is knowledgeable in the local area and will make recommendations based on the conditions on the day.  If you don't wish to swim in a 3 hour charter you instead opt to sail further north along the inside of South Stradbroke Island and see the millionaires mansions at Sovereign Islands.

In the evening we will generally sail north to watch the sunset and return to the southern part of the Broadwater to enjoy the city lights after dark which are just beautiful.

What happens if it rains?

First of all remember...a little rain doesn't stop a great time on our boats especially in the warm Gold Coast endless summer... But do rest assured that we have a very generous wet weather policy as we want you to enjoy your time on board the boat, so if there is torrential rain or storms at the time you will be able to cancel or reschedule your cruise. Please see the full booking policy provided with your invoice for full details or contact our team.

Are your charters suitable for guests with limited mobility?

We have welcomed several guests on board with limited mobility. However we do realise that each individual is different in terms of ability and what they are comfortable with. Please take a look at the 360 tours on the ' Our Boats ' page for an ideal of getting around the boats and do bear in mind a big step up (or carry) is required to board the boats at the marina. Our friendly team will be happy to discuss further to ensure you and your guests are comfortable prior to making a booking.

• X Post (Twitter)

So you’ve been enlisted to organise the office Christmas party—eek. The pressure is on and chances are you’re scratching your head for ideas. 

To ensure the team are throwing you high fives long after the night is over (and you're on the boss' nice list), we’ve rounded up 21 of the best Gold Coast Christmas party venues and out-of-the-box activities for your upcoming silly season shindig.

Christmas Party Activities 

Lumber punks axe throwing.

Has 2023 been one stressful year for you and your workmates? Don't worry, we are all in the same boat and need some stress relief urgently.  Lumber Punks in Miami is the ultimate stress relief, where you can dust off your faithful plaid shirt and hurl axes like the madmen and women that you are.

Start your day here, or end it; either way, it’s a unique team bonding option for your next Gold Coast Christmas party. Did we mention there’s also a jukebox and novelty vikings hats? 

Oxenford 

If your energetic team loves a bout of friendly competition or you’re in search of an icebreaker to warm the crowd, consider a Gold Coast Christmas party at Movie World’s iconic golfing spot,  Topgolf . This multi-level entertainment destination is a high-tech golf driving range with a rooftop bar, beers, cocktails, share-style eats and plenty of laughs guaranteed.

Bonus: if you work on the north end of town, Topgolf is conveniently located in Oxenford so it's a cheap Uber ride home after a few celebratory bevvies. They've got plenty of corporate,  party event and even Christmas party packages , so you're sure to find a great package to suit your Christmas party needs.

Holey Moley

Surfers paradise.

Holey Moley is the cult-like chip-n-putt that’s taken the country by storm, for good reason. This 18-hole crazy AF mini golf course can be found in Surfers Paradise’s Circle on Cavill precinct, along with a disco bowling alley, karaoke, The Caddyshack cocktail bar and two escape rooms, so there's plenty of options to hit up post-golf session.

An easy to organise Christmas party venue on the Gold Coast (just wrangle your work mates and they’ll do the rest), expect plenty of laughs with a labyrinth of holes showcasing a variety of wild and whacky themes. There’s a reason Holey Moley is known as the creator of Australia’s best mini golf courses, par none. Check out their 2023 Christmas party packages here .

The Tropic is the prime spot for silly season celebrations and is pimped out with sweeping ocean front vistas, a sublime Mediterranean-inspired menu, slurp-worthy cocktails and uninterrupted sunset views—the ingredients of a killer party.

Celebrate the festive season with The Tropic’s all-inclusive lunch and dinner Christmas packages to wine and dine with family, friends or work colleagues.

Check out The Tropic's Christmas packages  for a memorable party that will keep you in everyone’s good books for a long time.

Miss Moneypenny's 

Broadbeach’s favourite fine dining restaurant doesn’t just look good, it packs a punch in the event space too.

There's no doubt Miss Moneypenny's offers the perfect locale for your upcoming Christmas party and with a fantastic central Broadbeach location, there's plenty of post-party options to hit up.

Cali Beach Club

When Cali first opened in 2021, we all knew Cali Beach Club was going to be popular, but boy, the Gold Coast has certainly fallen in love with this sun-kissed spot. The mega entertainment destination towers four stories above street level in the heart of Surfers Paradise, is spread over an expansive 5000 square metres of prime rooftop space, boasts a spectacular outlook over Surfers Paradise beach and unparalleled views of the city skyline.

If you’ve got more than 100 work pals who are all about basking in the sun and dancing long into the night, you need to check out Cali Beach Club’s Christmas party packages . 

Mozza Mozza

A godsend for our Northern Gold Coast friends, Mozza Mozza spearheads top-notch Italian dining in Southport. Earn major brownie points with the boss by booking out the Northern Gold Coast's only private dining room at Mozza, which hosts up to 18 guests and offers a wonderful feasting menu and bottomless spritz packages. 

If you're after a larger affair, Mozza Mozza was built with parties and gatherings at the forefront of its design, so you can book out the entire beautiful dining room, or a portion of it, hosting Christmas parties  between ten and 200 people. 

Lucia Tapas

Lucia Tapas is Tugun's stunning Spanish beer garden, which pays homage to the dreamy tones of northern Spain and seamlessly blends refined European-style aesthetics with just a hint of Gold Coast flair. So, yes it's beautiful.

If basking in the sunshine and throwing back sangrias sounds like your Christmas party, then look no further. The breezy, relaxed venue hosts up to 110 people and offers a variety of seated and cocktail-style menus— contact the team for further function information.

Surfers Paradise  

Whether it's an intimate gathering of ten, or an extravagant, larger affair, it's hard to find a cooler venue for a relaxed yet refined party than The Island . With six venue options to choose from, take your pick from The Island Penthouse , which has three purpose-built event spaces within, the slick The Island Glasshouse ,  The Island Pool Deck with room for 120 standing, boutique cocktail bar Duke's Parlour , the massive outdoor deck at The Island Rooftop (hello, summer breezes) or the energetic bar and bistro, Goldie's .

With retro vibes and friendly service from start to finish, you'll be guaranteed a top night. Even better, The Island specialises in corporate events, private events, residential events, conferences and weddings, so you know you're in safe hands.

The Yot Club

Summer wouldn’t be complete without a watery adventure or two, so why not make this year’s office Christmas party on the Gold Coast one to remember.  The YOT Club  is without a doubt the ultimate celebration venue—it’s essentially a giant floating oasis that takes luxury to the next level. The YOT Blue is 80 feet of pure super yacht luxury and fits up to 58 guests, while the YOT 75 is the pinnacle of yacht entertainment and is licensed for 68 guests across two glammed-up levels.

If you only want to book out a part of The YOT Club, there are also plenty of VIP booths you can book and other function packages . If you’re looking to seriously impress (and can max out the CEO’s credit card), The YOT Club is a Christmas party venue like no other. 

Kiff & Culture Tours

If staying at one venue all night sounds dull, and you've got 45 or less people to plan for, Kiff & Culture's  Food & Drink Tours  are one hell of a good time. They'll pick up your whole team in a bus (size depending on your group) and drive you around for the afternoon, stopping off to eat and drink at some of the Gold Coast's top culinary institutions. We're talking sipping botanical-infused gins at Granddad Jack's Distillery, Moreton Bay bug rolls at Rick Shores and exploring hinterland wineries on Tamborine Mountain. 

Want to create your own personalised experience from scratch? You can also curate a bespoke Christmas party experience with customised offerings to suit your tastes.

Mr P.P's

Housing some of the most diverse event spaces on the Gold Coast,  Mr PPs  has no shortage of venue options. Whether you want to host an intimate gathering in the deli, spill out onto the front deck or take full advantage of the impressive rooftop with fantastic views of the Southport skyline.

by Zoe Abrahams | Oct 18, 2022

Thinking the aquaduck is just for kids? Think again. Our Secrets Scandals and Sunsets tour  is an entertaining and unique option for a party cruise on the Gold Coast. Perfect for groups to enjoy pre drinks before you go out into Surfers. Great for a girls night out, hens night bucks nights or corporate parties.

Choose a Gold Coast party cruise for your next birthday or special celebration

What to expect on your Gold Coast party cruise aboard the Aquaduck:

What better idea than relaxing on the beautiful waterways of the Gold Coast  to celebrate your next special event. Did you know you can hire out an iconic Aquaduck for your very own party cruise?! Your group can alight in Cavill Ave, Surfers Paradise where everyone will be poured a celebratory beverage and settle in to the ride ahead. There is no better way to take in the sights of Surfers from up high in the “Duck Bus” while you cruise through the streets.

You will make your way to The Spit where the bus will launch into the water and suddenly you’re floating!! Top up everyone’s glasses to now absorb the beauty of the Gold Coast from the water. Your Captain will provide as much or as little commentary as you like.  Be entertained by the backstories of Gold Coast glitterati and listen to some chill tunes to get the party going.

The LARC-V (Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo)

The LARC-V was the original name of the famous Aquaduck you can ride on today. Developed and built in America in the 1950’s, it’s an aluminium hulled amphibious military vehicle capable of carrying up to 5 tons of weight. It’s also got two turbo chargers for extra power. Coming from a military background, it’s awesome to see one of these drive around on the Gold Coast allowing the public to experience this unique mode of transport. The Aquaduck can drive around on the street like a bus and then drive straight into water and float like a boat, reaching a speed of 48 km/h on land and 15.3 km/h in the water.

A perfect time to hire out this amphibious vessel is late in the day so you can experience the stunning twilight on the water. Revel in the magnitude of the impressive canal front homes. The Gold Coast has nine times more canals than Venice so why not enjoy some of these 800 kms of pristine waterways with your friends to celebrate a special event.

Book a Gold Coast party cruise for your hens night or bucks night

On your Gold Coast Hens Night , you can take to the water for kick offs and settle into the cruise to set the mood for the night. After a 90 minute cruise you can then hit the town with your besties to enjoy more fun and games. You will be dropped right back into the heart of Surfers Paradise so there are no transport issues for hitting your next party destination.

If it’s a Bucks party you’re organising, this makes for a fun start to get the ball and chain rolling. What a great opportunity to take in the idyllic Gold Coast surroundings before the pub crawl commences.  Beers can flow while your skipper ensures you get to your next destination.

And let’s not stop there….why not hire out an Aquaduck on the big day for your bridal party to enjoy a few champas on board while cruising down the canals. You can take photos and videography while enjoying the stunning vista before you. When the cruise is done, the Aquaduck can drop you off at your reception venue pending proximity. What an attention seeking way to arrive on your special day!

Party cruise for your next corporate event

Looking for a venue for your next office gathering? With capacity for up to 90 passengers across 3 vehicles, the Aquaduck makes a unique and creative option for your next corporate get together . Let us organise everything for you. Give us your numbers and budget and we can present an option to suit your needs.

All ages from kids to Grandparents will enjoy this iconic way to see the best of the Gold Coast. Kids get to drive the duck as well. This will be a memorable event for the whole family. When we land back in Surfers Paradise ,  you can then walk to your dinner venue with ease.

This is an ideal way to kick off any of your upcoming celebratory occasions. You can hire an Aquaduck for your own group of up to 30 people. If you have  more guests, you can book out up to 3 vessels to accommodate the whole crew.

Gold Coast Christmas Party Venue Hire Guide

It's almost Christmas time! Have you secured your holiday party venue yet? There are so many things to do on the Gold Coast, but where should you host your holiday party this year? In this guide, we'll help you get started on planning an awesome Gold Coast Christmas party!

Where can I find amazing Christmas party venues on the Gold Coast?

Being a top destination for both tourists and locals, the Gold Coast has a variety of great party venues that will suit your next holiday bash. Some Gold Coast suburbs have more options for hosting parties than others, but the Gold Coast is big enough to accommodate most budgets and tastes.

The best places on the Gold coast offer catering, decorations, entertainment packages, room hire and much more with one booking, so you don’t need to worry about sorting out all your different needs when it comes time for your event! If you're on the hunt for a fantastic venue for your Christmas party this year, start your search in these Gold Coast neighbourhoods:

Surfers Paradise

The Gold Coast's most famous tourist destination is also the place to be for Christmas parties. Surfers Paradise has a wide range of venues, catering and party packages that are suitable for any budget — from inexpensive restaurants with basic decor to lavish resorts with all sorts of on-site entertainment available. With close proximity to the beach and attractions like Dreamworld, you'll have no shortage of things to do in Surfers Paradise.

Main Beach is another great option for Christmas party venues on the Gold Coast. Like Surfers Paradise, Main Beach offers a wide range of beachfront restaurants and bars that cater to all budgets. There are also a number of function spaces available for hire in Main Beach, so you can tailor your event to your specific needs.

Broadbeach/Varsity Lakes

Particularly popular among locals who want something different than what Surfers Paradise offers, Broadbeach or Varsity Lakes offer more quiet locations for hosting your Christmas party. You can find mid-range venues for your holiday party in Broadbeach and high-end resorts in Varsity Lakes.

Helensvale/Mudgeeraba

With plenty of cafes, restaurants and shopping centres within walking distance, these suburbs offer everything from low-budget cafe-style events to luxurious parties at beachside hotels — whatever suits your taste!

Mermaid Beach

Another suburb with its own train station, Mermaid Beach is perfect for a Christmas party venue on the Gold Coast. With the area's most luxurious resorts just minutes away from public transport and close to all of the Gold Coast's top attractions like Dreamworld or SeaWorld, this neighbourhood has something for everyone.

What are the most popular types of Christmas party venues on the Gold Coast?

The type of venue you choose for your holiday celebration will depend on your budget, team or company's preference and the number of guests. These are some of the best types of Christmas party venues on the Gold Coast:

Hotel function rooms

Gold Coast function rooms are the most popular type of Christmas party venue for corporate holiday events. Function rooms in hotels can be a good choice if you're planning to have your event catered from these venues.

Hotels on the Gold Coast can accommodate up to 500 people, depending on the size of their function room. They often have a range of food and beverage package options as well as an event planner who will help you plan your party’s details from start to finish.

Some hotels offer a range of different holiday packages which include accommodation for up to five nights as well as one or two days of activities. Popular Gold Coast hotels with this type of package include The Hilton Surfers Paradise Resort Gold Coast, Novotel Twin Waters Resort Gold Coast and Sheraton Mirage Beach Hotel Gold Coast.

If you're limited by space or budget but want something more than just drinks at the local pub with your team, cafes are a great option for Christmas parties. Consider booking out one side of a cafe so that it feels like its own private venue whilst still taking advantage of all the amenities available in these event spaces.

Some places also offer family-friendly activities such as craft tables, games and colouring sheets if kids might be coming along to your party.

Restaurants

Restaurants with private dining areas can offer great settings for larger corporate holiday functions. Restaurants on the Gold Coast are especially popular during Christmas time, often with festive decorations and menus to match.

If you're organising a large event, it's best to reserve your venue in advance to make sure that they have enough space for all of your guests.

Community hall/function centre

For events with 100+ people, consider booking out community halls or function centres. Some of these event spaces can even accommodate up to 500 people and will typically be able to offer amenities such as catering equipment and tables. However, you should note that these venues don't usually offer as many food and beverage options as a restaurant or a hotel function room.

Waterfront venues

If your event is all about Gold Coast views and outdoor activities, consider booking a waterfront venue. These venues provide an unbeatable location for events with Gold Coast themes, sunset views and outdoor activities.

Other unique event spaces.

The Gold Coast is full of unique event spaces that can make your Christmas party one to remember. From art galleries and museums to zoos and botanical gardens, there's sure to be a venue that suits your event theme.

You can even hire an event space with activities to jumpstart the festive season. Whether you choose disco bowling and escape rooms, take on a ghost tour or catch dinner and show, you and your team are sure to have a blast.

Tips for planning a Gold Coast Christmas party

As this year's office Christmas party planner, you might be feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the choices available on the Gold Coast. Here are some tips to help you plan the perfect event. Consider the following as you look for your perfect holiday party venue and plan the best Christmas party for your friends and colleagues:

Gold Coast party venues are in high demand during the festive period. Booking early will ensure you get a venue with all of your preferred features and avoid disappointment.

Get the invites out early

Send out invitations well ahead of time so people can plan their schedules around your holiday event. Make use of social media to promote your corporate event with videos and photos from previous parties if possible. You may also want to create a website or blog post outlining everything you'll be doing at your Christmas party, including the venue, date and time.

Theme the event

Themed holiday parties are the best and most memorable ones. And there are so many Christmas party themes to choose from! Maybe go with something traditional for a more understated feel or go all out with some Hollywood glitz to make your Christmas celebration as glamourous as possible. Get your team involved in choosing a theme — they might come up with some unexpected ones!

Check out these 10 Best Work Christmas Party Themes to Get Excited About .

Hire entertainment

If you're planning an office holiday party, it's a good idea to hire live entertainment like a band or a magician who can delight and impress everyone. A photo booth is another simple way to add some fun to any Christmas event where guests can take selfies that they'll be able to share on social media after the event.

Offer gifts for attendees

Christmas is about giving so why not give something back? You could offer a gift voucher or loot bag that each guest can choose from on arrival at your corporate holiday party! It'll show them how much they mean to you and make the celebration that much more special.

Decorate well ahead of time

Take care when decorating your Christmas party venue to make it festive. This means getting a Christmas tree, wrapping everything in tinsel and paper chains, arranging holly around curtains or using traditional stockings for decoration.

Assemble a team

It can be tough organising all the details of your Christmas party on your own, so don't do it! You'll need someone who can help you find the best event space, plan food options and organise entertainment whilst still making everything affordable. Assemble a group of coworkers to plan the party and don't be afraid to delegate!

Invest in good food

Christmas is all about indulgence so take care when planning your Christmas menu, whether you're catering the event yourself or hiring a caterer. Your venue should be able to recommend some delicious options that suit everyone's tastes or get you in touch with a partner establishment that specialises in catering holiday functions and other special events.

To help you further, read out our " 5 steps to plan this year’s corporate Christmas party " guide.

In the Moscow region there is a small cozy town Elektrostal. Its sights for the most part have no historical value due to the fact that the city has a relatively small history. But for a visiting tourist or city dweller, they will be of interest. There is something to see, where to go to have an exciting leisure time.

Today the population of the city is 158 thousand people. Until the beginning of the 20th century there were several small workers' settlements here. After the opening of the electrometallurgical and equipment factories, the place began to be called the natural boundary of Calm. The construction of the railway made this settlement accessible, and workers and families flocked here to earn money. In 1925, the station was named Elektrostal, and the rapid increase in population allowed the village to receive the status of a city.

The founder of the city is a prominent Russian industrialist Nikolai Vtorov. It was he who opened the plant here, creating, in fact, a city-forming enterprise that is still operating. In Soviet times, it was a closed facility, and it was not easy to get to work here.

Today Elektrostal is a promising industrial city with a great future and a heroic past. It bears the proud name "City of Military and Labor Glory".

You can learn about the sights of Elektrostal with descriptions and photos here. There are places for walking, outdoor activities and cultural development.

Those who come to the city by train are met by a monument to the metallurgist. It was installed in November 2017 for the 100th anniversary of the Elektrostal plant. The attraction is made in the style of constructivism. The monument quickly won the love of the townspeople, because this city is supported by ordinary workers.

Elektrost altsy and the founding father of the plant, Nikolai Vtorov, are honored. In 2002, a monument was opened in honor of him, which became a landmark of the city of Elektrostal. The bronze sculpture is installed on the site where once stood a monument to the leader of the world proletariat, V. I. Lenin. Times change, characters change. Today, the plant, founded a century ago, is the largest in Russia. Vtorov himself, whose fortune was estimated at 60 million rubles in gold, according to Forbes magazine, was the owner of the largest capital at the beginning of the century. He was a banker, an industrialist, an entrepreneur, a man of action.

The monument was erected byinitiative of the townspeople who wished to perpetuate the monument to the great man.

One of the popular places for spending weekends and evenings among citizens and guests of the city is the Park of Culture and Leisure. Here you can ride attractions for children and adults, play slot machines, rollerblade or bike. The park is divided into two zones. Fans of unhurried walks in the fresh air make a promenade on the Quiet Alley, and those who prefer outdoor activities flock to the Entertainment Alley. The park has a summer stage, where concerts and cafes are regularly held.

Until 1999, there was no central museum among the attractions of Elektrostal in the Moscow Region. The expositions were exhibited in schools, the house of culture, in factory museums. The city was closed, so there was no large influx of tourists and visitors. The appearance of the historical and art museum made it possible for residents and guests of the city to learn a lot of useful information about their native land, the formation of the production process, and the difficult years of the war. The exposition consists of paintings by local artists, historical artifacts, household items, documents, books and much more. The collection is updated regularly. It also hosts outdoor exhibitions, which are always popular with the townspeople.

One of the main attractions of Elektrostal, the photo of which is available to almost every resident or visitor, is the Main Alley. On herpassers-by like to stroll along shady paths, townspeople rest by the fountain after a hard shift at the plant. Flower beds are the decoration of the alley. In 2006, a flower festival was held here for the first time, which has become traditional. Each enterprise of the city and private individuals give residents a real composition of fresh flowers, which pleases with bright colors all summer long. A riot of colors, aromas and a flight of fantasy reigns here. Walking through the park, you can see Snow White with a basket, a bright well, a multi-tiered cake made from fresh flowers, hearts of lovers or a fabulous house. It is almost impossible not to take a photo against the background of these compositions.

There is a cultural center in the city. It hosts performances by local creative teams and visiting stars, performances and circus performances.

In 1971, the ice palace "Crystal" was opened in the city. Almost immediately, a children's and youth hockey team was organized, which gained sports fame. This is the home sports arena for the Elektrostal hockey team. Matches of different levels are held on the ice.

There are sections for children who go in for hockey or figure skating. Citizens come here with their families to cheer for their favorite team or go ice skating.

Elektrostal is a city with a heroic past. During the war years, more than 12 thousand citizens came to the recruiting station and went to the front to defend their homeland. Almost 4 thousand of them did not return from the battle. To these heroesdedicated to the memorial complex with the inextinguishable Eternal Flame, opened in 1968

But the electricians took part in the war in Afghanistan and Chechnya. By decision of the city authorities, their memory is also immortalized in the memorial complex.

It has become a good tradition for newlyweds to lay flowers at this monument.

In 1999, a museum and exhibition complex was opened in the city, where, in addition to the exhibition hall, there are numerous circles for children, classes for young people, and a creative workshop. Various festivals, exhibitions, city holidays and other events are held within the walls and on the territory of the complex, which attract many spectators.

Listing the sights of Elektrostal, it is impossible not to mention the temples. There are several of them in the city: the church of St. John of Kronstadt, St. Andrew's Church, the hospital church of St. Panteleimon. Another new church is being built. In appearance, the temples look ancient, monumental, in the Novgorod style. But they were all built at the end of the 20th century.

Let there be no ancient artifacts among the sights of Elektrostal. But on the other hand, all of them are connected with the history of the city, with everyday work and military exploits of ordinary residents.
