Tashkent Family Activity Guide

November 5, 2026

Taking children to Tashkent works best with a loose plan: one main outing a day, a break in the shade or the metro at midday, and an early dinner. This guide groups ideas by age.

Under 7s

Tashkent Zoo suits small children because under 7s enter free. It sits on Bogishamol Street in Yunusabad and opens daily, with ticket offices running from 08:00 to 17:00. Visitors aged 7 to 16 paid 25,000 UZS and adults 40,000 UZS in a December 2025 notice, though holiday rates may differ. Stay on the paths and say no to any animal ride, feeding session or photo with an animal.

Magic City on Babur Street is free to enter. Children can look at the displays and rides, and the Magic Aquarium sells its own tickets, with past quotes from 100,000 UZS and a combined ticket near 190,000 UZS. Hours are about 10:00 to 22:00.

Ages 7 to 12

The metro is a surprise hit. Kosmonavtlar station has a space theme, and Alisher Navoiy and Mustaqillik Maydoni are lit by chandeliers. A ride is 2,500 UZS by bank card or ATTO card, or 3,000 UZS cash. Photos are fine, and bags pass through a scanner.

The Center of Islamic Civilization (opened March 2026) is open to children, with a foreign child ticket at USD 20 and an audio guide. Teach quiet manners first, because the nearby Hazrati Imam Square is an active place of worship.

Chorsu Bazaar is a feast of colour and smells, and mornings are best. Hold hands in the crowds.

Teenagers

Mountain rides appeal to this age. The Beldersay cable car at Chimgan and the gondolas at Amirsoy take about 1.5 to 2 hours to reach from the city. The cable car sometimes stays closed on weekdays. The Big Solar Furnace at Parkent gives older children a look at a Soviet-era science site; the visit includes a climb and takes most of a day with an operator.

Water and safety

Charvak is a dam reservoir. Keep children in the shallows within arm’s reach, because lifeguard cover cannot be assumed. Summer heat is intense, so shade, hats and water bottles are essential.

Daily rhythm that works

Morning: bazaar, zoo or the mountains.
Midday: metro, a museum or a rest at the hotel.
Evening: Magic City or a stroll.
