If you find yourself in Odessa, with kids in tow, or maybe those who prefer amusement parks to museums, why not pop on over to the little amusement park and take a rid on the ferris wheel? I of course did check it out before allowing my loved ones to consider climbing aboard, and it is relatively new, and so hopefully safe and sound. And for those of you, who like me, really don't like amusement park rides, this one is bareable, so join your family and squeal just a bit. Ah yes, and with any ferris wheel ride there is a view, so make sure to enjoy the view of the Black Sea! In the mean time, come along with me for a little ride, won't you?
Love the Russian amusement park typography.
As we starting to go up, a great contrast between new and old.
Ah yes, there it is, the Black Sea and the Odessa port.
Way up high......a bit scary but I did it, as did my friend who was even to scared to consider climbing aboard. Funny enough the same friend had no problem jumping in the Baal Shem Tov's freezing mikveh, something I didn't dare!
Just one little bit of advice, like any amusement/ Luna park, this one also has a gritty edge, with a bunch of sleezy illustrations as well, so just keep that in mind. We had to compensate for the fact that we got stuck in traffic and missed the dolphin show we promised our group of kids, so I just pretended not to see those aforementioned air brush illustrations and hoping our innocent kids didn't really notice either, hmmmm, I'm not planning on asking anyone so we may never know.
And that dear readers is it for the Odessa Luna park, likely one of the things the kids will remember the most!
