Merchant Kolyvan. Ostrich Farm

Tours to Kolyvan

A trip to the old settlement of Kolyvan is a perfect edutainment experience. It is often referred to as “the ancestor of Novosibirsk” and “the merchant capital”, because the settlement was one of the main trade centers on the Siberian road. There are a lot of sights for you to see: vibrant old merchant houses and the Intercession Alexander Nevsky monastery visited by pilgrims from all over the country.

You’ll have to wait for the second part of the tour to discover another famous tourist attraction not far from Kolyvan — an ostrich farm. At the farm, for a reasonable price you’ll be offered to:

• See and pet ostriches and other pets,
• Listen to a fascinating story about their behavior and habits,
• See a camel, a yak, foxes, elks, a lot of forest birds.

Both children and adults alike will find the tour program exciting, as you’ll get to learn about the historical, merchant past of the region and play with the animals living on the farm. Sign up for the tour to have an edutaining weekend!
