American Safari JXL: Jeep Wrangler Extension & Camper System by Red River Rigs

Posted By: Savage Camper

Like many attendees, I’m a big fan of the Jeep Wrangler. I’ve never seen so many JK & JL generation Jeeps converge in a single area as the Overland Expo West in Flagsaff, AZ. Even the parking areas could have been overland Jeep events by themselves.

Inside the event, there was just about everything you could imagine in terms of overland camping gear for Wrangler JK/JL Jeeps. Amongst all the vendors and manufacturers exhibiting at Overland Expo West, there were definitely some standouts being displayed. I felt a rush of adrenaline when I came across Red River Rig’s awesome setup at the event. This was a setup I eagerly wanted to learn more about.

Thankfully Mr. Glen Pratt, President of Red River Rigs out of Amarillo, Texas was present to guide us on an educational tour of his company’s exceptional product, the American Safari JXL system, which is essentially a Jeep extension and camper system. “I originally saw this system in Europe, tested it in the United States and now are selling throughout North America”, states Glen. “We’ve also just begun manufacturing here in the U.S. in the Salt Lake City area”.

The American Safari JXL system is essentially three major components:

• A longer hard top with an integrated pop-up tent
• A 15 inch extension system (creates 50% more space behind the rear seat)
• Different rear bumper options available with a step ladder for easy vehicle entry

The core of the system’s interior is a large bed with a mattress. Part of it slides back to reveal a standing height cooktop, sink that integrates with a wash nozzle and countertop. The extension system has integrated storage on the sides, as well as in it’s floor which is really nice!

Beyond this are 3 general configurations, an open air concept and a couple different configurations with additional storage and functionality for more comfort.

The open air concept is as it sounds – this is base system with no cabinetry on the floor, or interiors sides of the Jeep that are dead space. The floor has comparable room to a mid-size SUV, and with the pop-up tent I can tell you I stood up straight inside with room to spare vertically and I’m just over 6 feet tall.

The middle of the 3 configurations includes hanging storage pockets along the sides of the hard top interior. Also included are 2 storage benches which also act as padded benches for up to 3 people to sit inside around a table top. All of this enables one or a couple to do much within their Jeep camper without having to go outside in cold weather.

The most plush American Safari JXL interior at the event involves half of the back seat being removed, and some really nice custom cabinetry lines both sides. If you have alot of gear, this allows you to get up and out of your living space. There are also integrated storage benches, different level surfaces and a table top, making it nice for moving around interiorly within the Jeep. Lots of organized space.

Of course, Red River Rigs offers completely customized solutions as well, depending on your needs and/or desires.

There are 3 different bumpers sytems as well:

• Stock bumper system with integrated ladder
• A custom steel bumper that attaches to the frame with steel frame extensions. It has the ladder and extended side armor for additional protection
• A modified stock bumper system that includes a customized AEV Wrangler JK rear bumper (has integrated water container, extra armor, etc)

One of the Jeeps on display also had a really cool external rack that mounts low for proper off-road weight distribution. This allows you to attach awnings, tools, lights, etc without interfering with the pop up tent portion of the system.

You can obtain a JXL system in 1 of 3 ways:

• A turnkey solution, where you purchase the complete JK Jeep and camper system already installed from Red River Rigs
• You can send Red River Rigs your Wrangler JK and they can install
• Have the JXL system shipped to you, where you can install it yourself, or have a local shop perform the installation

The system itself is very simple installation, with no cutting or drilling involved – it’s completely bolt-on which is very impressive! It’s removable as well.

At the time of this writing, American Safari JXL systems for the Wrangler JL are just about to be available, as well as a larger roof, thicker mattress option.

We really appreciate Glen and Red River Rigs taking the time to share their awesome Jeep camper & extension system with us it’s a standout amongst the Jeep products seen at the Overland Expo.

The Epic Jeep Wrangler Camper Conversion With A Pop Top

Built like a tank–and with all the badass looks of one, too–the Jeep Wrangler Camper is set to make tracks on the overland scene.

Texas company Red River Rigs are confidently bringing about this change with the arrival of the American Safari JXL. A big name in the American market, this camper conversion could be the one that finally brings Wrangler back into the forefront of an off-road fold. Let’s take a closer look.

Meet The Jeep Wrangler Camper

From the Overland Nissan Titan XD to trusty Four Wheel Campers , overland vehicles are the Goliaths of the camping world. Thus, you might not think to lump the modestly sized Jeep Wrangler in with this titanic category of Earth crawlers. Think again.

Jeep Camper – The Newest Off Road God?

The bolt-on conversion kit for this Jeep Wrangler Camper instantly creates a 4-person sleeping quarter and increases the cargo room by over 50%–but more on this later. Whilst most Wrangler conversion kits hail form Europe, Red River Rigs seeks to “make Wrangler great again” with their American Safari JXL kit. Packing some of the best off-road gear that your after-market dollars can buy, they may just succeed…

The Rugged American Safari JXL Exterior

The main build of this Jeep camper conversion is based around a poly-shell. It bolts seamlessly onto the back of any JK Wrangler Unlimited vehicle, giving you an instant pop-top roof and bed space. It’s surprisingly comfy and spacious, with ample room to lay and look out at the night sky.  

It’s not just luxurious, either. With an air inlet pipe, spare tyre storage, and oversized tyres that eat mountainsides for breakfast, the American JXL goes toe-to-toe with the most rugged adventure busses on the market.

For quality of life, this Jeep Wrangler Camper also comes with extra outboard storage facilities. These include van life essentials such as a towel and dishes rack, and there’s even a place to hang your camper shower .

Jeep Camping: Inside The Wrangler Camper Conversion

If you’re used to off-road busses , Red River Rigs’ Jeep Wrangler Camper might seem a little sparse and Spartan on the inside. However, there’s plenty to appreciate about the American Safari JXL’s simple, no-nonsense approach to off-grid living . (Just think of it as a tiny home on wheels!)

The pop top bed area creates plenty of space to stand up inside, which is arguably the most important mark of a good camper. There’s a beige countertop with an integrated sink, plus a cooker with ample space to put your array of cooking accessories to good use. We also appreciate the extra cargo space, wherein you can store units like the iKamper Eatout to take advantage of good weather.

Sure, the cupboard and table aren’t anything special to look at. But, they definitely get the job done without hogging space. In fact, the table folds away to make space for a lower-level bed which comfortably sleeps two. This is no mean feat, as most high-end luxury campers typically only have room for two van dwellers . (And, unlike the American Safari JXL, they’ll have trouble powering over anything crazier than a speed bump in a Walmart parking lot!)

The American Safari JXL Wrangler Conversion – Final Thoughts

The American Safari JXL takes the best parts of European “mall-crawler” styles like the JK Gazelle, and supercharges them. The result is a surprisingly luxurious package that installs seamlessly onto your 4WD vehicle with ease. When (or if?) you decide to return to domestic life, you can easily remove the conversion package without much hassle.

Compared to the price of an off-road RV , the American Safari JXL is a pretty solid investment–especially if you already own a Wrangler! The base bolt-on roof/body Jeep Wrangler Camper extension kit starts at $17,760. You can tack on another $1,500 if you want the dining furniture package, but you could also look into your own builds to save some cash. (Check out the  Nissan Camper mobile workshop for some excellent inspiration.)

A Personal Take

Van-life is all about going with what works for you. If you’ve already got a Jeep and you’re not looking to go out for the longest of long-hauls, this Wrangler conversion is a good option.

For me personally, I’d probably get an off-road trailer for my truck instead. You get a lot more gadgets and power for off-grid living  for your buck, and it’s just going to offer more room.

In the meantime, I’ll keep parking on level ground and going over the odd bump in my Vauxhall Movano, but we certainly wish Red River Rigs the greatest of luck in their future ventures. Check them out for more information on their conversions and to find out more about the American Safari JXL!

Official Photos! Check Out the 2022 Easter Jeep Safari Prototypes

The 56th annual Easter Jeep Safari will be loaded with a ton of one-off Jeep concepts – and we will be driving every single one!

For well over a decade, TFL Studios has attended the Easter Jeep Safari, and this year looks mighty exciting. We finally get to display photos of many of the concepts that will be on hand. The Jeep Safari started in 1967 as a one-day trail ride. Since then, it’s exploded into a multi-day Jeep-o-Palooza event. For many years, Jeep has brought concepts to the event for the press to play with.

One of the best ways to connect with Jeep designers is to actually have access to them, and their creations. Sometimes, it’s just folly with vehicles that are just built for a laugh. Still, many of these creations point to potential future product, parts and/or themes. On top of that, we to see a ton of upcoming “official” parts and accessories deployed on these concepts. At times, the Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) and Mopar folks will listen to our thoughts about these components for (possible) production.

For us, the most exciting part is driving the concepts.

Here’s an overview of many of the concepts that will be on hand at the 2022 56th Annual Easter Jeep Safari:

Jeep Wrangler Magneto 2.0 Concept

Last year, we got to drive the first Magneto concept and the Jeep Wrangler Magneto 2.0 Concept improves upon the original. This new concept is more powerful and capable than the previous concept. The Magneto 2.0 has a 3-inch lift, 40-inch tires and a wheelbase that’s been stretched 12-inches. Custom components like a unique drive shaft, and carbon-fiber body components are augmented with JPP off-road components.

According to Jeep, the Magneto 2.0’s powertrain is a beast:

• Propulsion: Peak amperage has more than doubled to 600 amps. The Magneto 2.0 makes 625 horsepower and 850 lb.-ft., which is more than three-times the torque output of last year’s concept. With new calibration, 0 to 60 mph can happen in as little as two (2) seconds.
• Custom-built axial flux electric motor that operates up to 5,250 rpm
• Six-speed manual transmission returns, yet you can get true “one pedal” EV driving feedback. First gear ratio in the manual transmission has changed from 5.13 to 3.36.
• The Jeep Magneto 2.0 concept has four lithium-ion battery packs distributed throughout the chassis. Combined power of the 70 kWh power, runs an 800-volt system,
• Developed for race cars, the inverter converts DC power to AC for the electric motor.

Loaded with new graphics and an updated exterior look, the Jeep Magneto 2.0 concept gives us a little hint as to what might be possible with an all-electric Wrangler. Remember: Jeep promised an all-electric Wrangler in the near future!

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk PHEV Concept

What you are looking at is a very-close-to-production Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe. Sure, it’s not official – hence the “concept” part of the name, but we are pretty sure it’s coming. That’s a good thing, because it looks phenomenal. At least I feel it’s much better looking than the matured design initially struck me.

The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk PHEV concept has two electric motors and a 400-volt battery pack. On top of that, it has a 2.0-liter turbocharged, four-cylinder engine. An eight-speed, TorqueFlite automatic transmission is the only option, and it feeds all-four 20-inch wheels, covered in 33-inch BFG Mud Terrain tires. It’s equipped with Jeep’s Quadra-Lift air suspension that has a sway-bar disconnect.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, which this concept is based on delivers up to 56 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe). It can go up to 25 miles on electricity alone.

The concept boasts a custom Industrial Blue exterior, along with signature 4xe Lagoon Blue tow hooks and glare-proof black-and-blue matte Trailhawk hood decal. Adding to its adventuresome appearance is a custom roof rack with integrated tie downs, black painted Rhino Liner roof for added durability, custom fog light bezels with quad LED projector fog lamps and custom vinyl side graphics for protection against debris. Mopar rock rails add further protection against nature’s less forgiving elements. The interior incorporates custom saddle-colored upholstered seats with “Rodney” houndstooth inserts. The seats also feature the signature 4xe Trailhawk badge and Surf Blue stitching. Stellantis

Jeep ’41 Concept

Almost every year, the eggheads at Jeep design pay homage to WW2 Willys Jeeps, and the Jeep ’41 Concept is a slick interpretation. The designers opted to use a Wrangler 4xe as the basis, and built something special. The concept sits on a JPP two-inch lift kit, 35-inch mud-terrain tires and 17-inch (Fifteen52) wheels painted in D.R.A.B. ‘41 matte green.

The concept’s exterior color, including wheel flares and mirror caps, is decorated in an olive D.R.A.B. ‘41 matte green finish, with black powder-coated steel bumpers, Warn winch and JPP bumper hoop. The retro trim cap accentuates a tan soft-top, while JPP half doors offer an enhanced open-air experience to let even more of the outside in. A custom stenciled graphics package from the Jeep Graphic Studio and accent-colored tow hooks are the finishing touches fit for a five-star general. Stellantis

Inside the ’41 concept is a retro shifter with a customized shifter cap from the Jeep Graphic Studio, along with canvas-covered seats that feature digital camo inserts and Serafil 1043 stitching. A Rhino-lined heavy texture floor in D.R.A.B. ‘41 matte green adds durability. ‘41 matte green and the cluster features a custom Willys retro graphic. Stellantis

2021 SEMA Concepts will be there too!

Three concepts that popped up at the 2021 SEMA show will make an appearance as well! The Jeep Wrangler 4xe Concept, Jeep Wrangler Overlook concept and the Kaiser Jeep M725 concept will be on hand. Check out ( this ) article to get the technical information about those vehicles.

Here Are Jeep’s Awesome 2024 Easter Safari Builds From Every Angle

Are these the best colored Jeeps around right now?

It’s that time of year again people, it’s Easter. And sure, that might mean it’s the season for eating too much chocolate or celebrating the anniversary of someone’s resurrection (weirdly on a different day each year) but for us here in the world of cars, it means it’s time to look at a bunch of awesome Jeep concepts.

That’s because the off-road brand is preparing to host its annual Easter Jeep Safari . Jeep will head to the desert and bring with it all manner of modified metal. This year, its special builds do not disappoint.

For the 2024 Easter Jeep Safari, Jeep put together four special trucks built around its Wrangler , Gladiator and Grand Wagoneer models. Each car is fitted with the kind of off-road upgrades you and I can only dream of, as well as all kinds of massive wheels, rugged trim and some seriously awesome color choices.

To celebrate their unveiling, we’ve put together a bunch of the best pictures of the new Jeeps that we could find. So pull up a camp chair, don your desert boots and sit back to enjoy the best the 2024 Easter Jeep Safari has to offer.

The Low Down

First up it’s the Low Down concept, which is built on Jeep’s mighty Wrangler Rubicon 392. The car was designed in homage to the Jeep Wrangler Lower 40 from 2009’s Easter Jeep Safari. As such, it packs an awesome paint scheme, massive wheels and no roof, just like its inspiration.

The One With The V8

Because this is a Wrangler 392 , there’s a stock 6.4-liter V8 motor under hood. The engine kicks out 475-horsepower and is mated to an eight-speed automatic. To show off its beating heart, Jeep’s engineers fitted the hood with a see-through section that reveals that massive engine in all its glory.

Get It In The Good Color

For the finish on the Low Down, Jeep opted for a lush poison apple red paint that pops nicely compared to the black grille and roof rails. To streamline the look of the truck, Jeep opted to remove the rear door handles, because who needs those anyway, and fitted a bespoke fuel filler door on the rear quarter.

Looks Wheelie Big

Because it’s a Jeep Safari build, the truck is finished off with a set of massive 42-inch BFGoodrich Krawler mud-terrain tires , which are fitted to a 20-inch bead-lock wheel at each corner. Under the car, Jeep has left the Wrangler Rubicon 392 suspension as stock, but it also fitted Dana 60 axles with 5.38 gears.

Willys Dispatcher

Next is the Willys Dispatcher build, which is based on Jeep’s Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid. The build is said to invoke “...the nostalgia of the early post-war civilian Jeep,” according to the brand. As such, it unites an awesome paint scheme and the rugged looks of the Wrangler with a plug-in hybrid powertrain that churns out 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.

Best Wheels Of The Bunch

The biggest changes on this build are in the looks department, with Jeep finishing the truck in that lovely element 115 green paint. At each corner, there’s a 16-inch steely wheel painted cream. They really pop against the Traxion 36-inch tires and teal body. To finish the retro-stylings, there’s a classic-looking Warn winch up front.

Look At That Interior

Inside the Dispatcher is a lovely trim that reminds me of my grandparents living room, in a really, really good way. But what does that look like to anyone that’s not been in their house in rural Yorkshire? Well, it’s full of tan saddle leather and a neat houndstooth pattern across the seats and dash. I dig it.

Other flourishes on the Dispatcher include a vinyl covering to protect the floor from any water that could come in through the open roof, and there’s an onboard air compressor to manage your tire pressures on the trail. To keep you moving when the going gets tough, the truck also has Dana 50 Advantech front and rear axles with 4.70 gears.

The High Top

If you absolutely must have a pickup truck, I guess the new High Top build isn’t a bad way to go. Built around Jeep’s Gladiator Rubicon , the High Top concept packs in massive 40-inch off-road tires from BFGoodrich at each corner, wrapped around a set of black Grenade Crawl beadlock wheels.

How It All Works

Under the hood, the truck is powered by Jeep’s 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 engine, which has been paired with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. To get all that oomph onto the trail, Jeep gave the Gladiator High Top Dana 60 front and rear axles with 5.38:1 gearing and adjustable air suspension.

Pickup, Pickup

Because this is a pickup , there’s a whole bed out back to fill with your hopes and dreams. To maximize its useability, Jeep gave the High Top truck the latest Decked truck bed storage system, which offers additional lockable cargo space just like you get from a trunk. Imagine that.

Winching At My Heartstrings

Up front, the bumper of the Gladiator has been modified to include a custom protective hoop from American Expedition Vehicles. This sits above a Warn winch, and the High Top packs in rock rail power steps from Rock Slide Engineering to protect its underside.

Grand Vacationeer

You know what’s cooler than a ginger-colored pickup truck? A minty green Grand Wagoneer that can take you almost anywhere. This is the Jeep Vacationeer and it’s excellent. Fitted out with 35-inch BFGoodrich mud-terrain tires, 18-inch rims and a 1.5-inch lift, this is everything the Wagonner was born to be.

Not Enough Room To Camp In The Trunk

Inside, Jeep has ripped out the second and third rows of seats in the Wagoneer in order to install a pass-through entrance to the custom tent that’s fitted up top. The custom carbon fiber tent comes from outdoor experts Skyloft and offers climate-controlled sleeping space for two and all the windows you need to enjoy your surroundings. Is this the ultimate definition of “glamping?”

Never Forget Your Car Cacti

As well as skid plates to protect the underside and custom flared wheel arches, Jeep has also fitted the Vacationeer with a pretty stunning interior. There’s tons of earth tones and soft finishes, and the rear space has been lined with weather-proof materials to ensure the back of the Wagoneer can handle all the outdoor activities you throw at it.

Which Would You Have?

So, that’s the lineup of awesome custom Jeeps that Stellantis will take to its annual Easter Jeep Safari this year. If you could drive away today in one of them, which would you choose? My heart tells me the Low Down is the best of the bunch, but deep down I really want the overlanding Wagoneer.

TOP-11 Moscow Parks to Visit

I have chosen the best 11 Moscow parks to visit and spend a beautiful time for you. Do not miss and choose one that you like the most – cycling, festivals, flowers, panoramic views and many other things are waiting for you!

Gorky Park (The Central Park of Culture and Leisure) – The main one of the Moscow Parks

In my opinion this park could be called the main park of the city. Why? Because of its huge territory, the central location and the amount of people visiting the park daily.  It was founded in 1928 and in 2011 it was totally reconstructed. Now it pleases visitors with modern objects and soft green lawns.

• Oktybrskaya or Park Kultuty metro station, Krimsky Val, 9

The Gorky park is a the right choice for everyone! The youth will like a free WiFi, bicycles, skateboards and other rentals; the couples will enjoy spending time near the river, watching a sunset; parents will appreciate colorful playgrounds and a room for mother and child. Everyone can find something for themselves: from yoga classes  to watching movies in a cozy summer cinema, from dance classes to volleyball playground. Gorky Park is also the venue for all kinds of exhibitions, festivals, events for children and adults. During the winter there is one of the biggest skating rinks in the park.

Museon Art Park – A Second Gorky they say

“Museon” is located on the opposite side of Krimsky Val street. And right now some people believe that Gorky and Museon together is a one space sharing the same beauty.

• Oktybrskaya or Park Kultuty metro station, Krimsky Val, 2

The Park of Arts was named this way because there is the largest composition of open-air sculptures in Russia. In its territory there are already more than 1000 unique exhibits: from monuments of the socialist realism era to various kinds of contemporary art. But this is not all the attractions of the park. In recent years, “Museon” has become an important cultural site of the city. The park regularly hold many different concerts, festivals, educational projects in the field of art and design. There is a Central House of the Artist, a comfortable summer cinema and other attractions on territory. Be sure to stroll pedestrian Crimean embankment, which looks like a modern park.

Neskuchny Garden – True Russian Nature is Here

Neskuchny garden is located on the right bank of the Moscow River. Today it is also seen as a part of the Gorky Park. This landscape park is one of the oldest in the city and is protected by the state. Its name was received from the Neskuchnoye Estate of  Prince Trubetskoi which is still located in the park.

• Leninsky Prospekt metro station, Leninsky Prospect, 30

This park is famous mostly for its location close to the Gorky park. It is a quite place with true nature, lots of trees and squirrels and also ancient architecture. As in every park, there are sports and playgrounds, cafes and even a football field.

Zaryadye Park – 5 Steps Away From The Red Square

The area of this brand new park was opened only in September 2017 and located in the very heart of Moscow – right near the Red Square.

• Open from 10AM to 10PM
• Teatralnaya, Okhotnyi ryad, Ploschad Revolutsii

The park has 4 zones, each of them represent different parts of Russian landscapes. Above the river there is a floating bridge from where you get to see one of the best panoramic views on Moscow. Other attractions of the park are 5D cinema where you can take a flight above Moscow, few cafes and restaurants, pretty lakes with fishes and old preserved churches. In addition there is still being built a  philharmonic hall, covered with a huge dome and an Ice cage where the temperature will always stay below zero degrees.

When you are on the Red Square do not miss it!

All-Russia Exhibition Center (VDNKh) – The Soviet Style Moscow Park

Park VDNKh – one of the most famous parks in Moscow. This park is one of the sights of the city as it hasn’t changed much since the Soviet era.

• VDNKh metro station, Prospect Mira, 119

The symbol of VDNKh is a fountain with 16 women symbolizing the friendship of the nations of the USSR. Around this fountain there are all the pavilions representing 16 republics. Now inside the pavilions you find various shops, cafes and exhibitions. If you go deep inside the park you will find a rocket Vostok and and an aircraft. What is funny the inside of the aircraft there is actually a photo exhibition. Near the northern entrance you there is a famous sculpture “Worker and Kolkhoz Woman”. It is extremely famous among Russians as all the movies by Mosfilm corporation used to start with the picture of this statue. But if you go further inside the park you will reach a very calm area. A lake is there, forest and birds singing. Since the park occupies a large area I suggest you to rent a bicycle.

Sokolniki Park – A Place For A Hunt Or For Leisure?

The park got its name because of the royal falconry, which took place there in the past when there was a dense forest. (Sokol means a falcon.) In 2011 it was significantly transformed: updated lawns, landscaped ponds and picnic areas, restored summer cinema and theater, a large rose garden, sports grounds, bicycle paths and other things.

• Sokolniki metro station, Sokolnichesky Val, 1, p. 1

From the main entrance along the alley you can walk to the Sokolniki circle, where 8 alleys form 9 sectors, in each of them you will find trees of the same breed.  The park is famous for its rosary, as well as flower decoration. On the territory of the park there are concert halls, a library, amusement zone, dances zone and many many other attractions. In winter the park has a skating rink (a free of charge one) and ski runs. During the warm season you can rent a bicycle.

Tsaritsino Park – A Different World Inside Moscow

Here you can walk for hours, admiring the most beautiful nature and magnificent architecture.

• Open from 6AM to 12AM
• Tsaritsyno metro station, Dolsky, 1

The most amazing part of the park is the lake with a light and musical fountain. Every evening the fountain starts the show. Lights and music combined make you feel like you are not in Moscow but in a fairy tale. The park is also well equipped for sports lovers and healthy lifestyle. There are volleyball and basketball courts, a tennis court, sports facilities for acrobatics, bodybuilding equipment.

What I personally like about this park is the atmosphere. This place is actually far from the city center but I love going there anyway. Whenever I go there I feel like I left Moscow with all its hectic lifestyle. It is the place where I relax, enjoy myself or a company of my friends and feel kind of different. By the way totally suggested for a date!

Kolomenskoye Park – Combination Of Reserve and Architecture

The Kolomenskoye park is actually a Museum-Reserve. It is a former residence of Russian tsars and one of the most scenic places in Moscow.

• May to September – open from 8AM to 12AM, October to April – from 8AM to 9PM
• Kolomenskoye metro station, Andropov Ave, 39

 Alike with Tsaritsino park Kolomenskoye park has its own special atmosphere with all the architecture, trees, ponds and even a river bank. The park regularly hosts various folk festivals and different fairs. In summer time you can play with kites or rent a bicycle and ride around the huge area of the park.

I love the view that you get on the city from one of the hills near the river. I love the apple trees alleys and the beautiful churches. It is also a bit far from the city center but yet worth going there. One of my best friends even celebrated her wedding there.

Aptekarsky Garden or Botanical garden of the Moscow State University – The Best Botanical Garden in The World

Aptekar in Russian language means a pharmacist so basically it is a pharmacist’s garden. It was founded in 1706 by Peter The Great for growing medicinal plants for the royal family. But later they moved it from under the walls of the Kremlin to the current location.

• Open from 10AM to 8PM
• Prospect Mira metro station, Prospekt Mira, 26

In the botanical garden there are no attractions and noisy crowds of tourists. The area of the garden is not as big as any other park in Moscow. And the entrance is not free. But this exactly what makes this park one of the most comfortable in the city. In the Aptekarsky garden they grow thousands of different plants, flowers and trees. Some of the trees are more than 300 years old. They held different festivals there: flowers festivals, sand and ice sculptures expositions.

For me it is one of the most beautiful parks not only in Moscow but in the world. I have never seen so many different flowers and plants anywhere else. And trust me I am a real park lover. And what is more the staff really takes care about every single tree or plant there, some of the trees have names and stories. I love it there and I think the price is really worth what you get.

Victory Park – A Park That Makes Us Remember The War

The park is located on the Poklonnaya Hill and it has one of the world’s largest memorial complexes dedicated to the World War II. The park was opened for the 50th anniversary of the Victory on May 9, 1995. It is also one of the main venues in the city for holding a variety of mass events.

• Park Pobedy metro station, Brothers Fonchenko, 7

On the main avenue of the park there are with 1418 fountains – exactly as long as the war lasted. Fountains make five water terraces, symbolizing five years of military operations. And in the center of the park there is the Museum of the Great Patriotic War. If you are interested in the history of the war do not miss it. The Poklonnaya Hill is a part of the park and from the hill you get one of the best views on the city of Moscow. And I could say this is the best place for watching the fireworks during the mass celebrations. But be aware it gets too crowded then. As in most of the other big parks you can rent a bicycle or rollers there.

Izmailovsky Park – A Mix of a Big Forest and Attractions

Izmaylovsky Park occupies a huge green territory, making up a large part of the Izmailovo district. The park consists of two parts: Izmaylovsky Park of Culture and Rest and the forest park of Izmailovo. First part is full of attractions and restaurants while the second one is like a real forest with pine trees, birch groves, beautiful clearings and ponds.

• Izmaylovskaya, Shosse Entuziastov or Partizanskaya metro stations, Izmaylovsky Park

It is easy to spend there a whole day. A large landscaped area and a lot of various entertainments for children and adults will help you not to get bored. An observation wheel, a boat station, children’s playgrounds, a dance floor, sports grounds, a skate park – all this is only a small part of the possible leisure activities. In the park there are bike paths and a rental services.

I don’t go there often to be honest. But the park is very very close whenever to a souvenir market on Partizanskaya metro station. And whenever the weather is nice and I have enough of free time I stroll through the alleys of the park and enjoy the nature. So if you are going to the souvenir market too and you have enough free time then do go to the park too.
