Divo-Ostrov is an amusement park on Krestovsky Island in St Petersburg, with roller coasters, family rides and open green spaces beside lakes and duck houses. Entry to the park is free; you pay for the rides you choose, which lets you plan around your group rather than buy a general admission ticket. Some rides give views across the city, and the park is close to Gazprom Arena. It suits families and thrill-seekers, though buying several ride tickets can take some figuring out.
How tickets work
You can enter the park without paying an admission charge, then buy tickets for the rides you want. The park has also offered wristbands for unlimited rides, but these may not cover every attraction. Check what a wristband includes before choosing it, especially if you have a particular ride in mind.
Ticket booths can be difficult to navigate if you do not speak Russian. Ride names may not be clear on individual tickets, which can make it tricky to keep track of several tickets in a group. A translation app can help you ask staff for guidance.
Rides and the park setting
The attractions range from children’s rides to larger roller coasters, with some rides offering views over the city. The park’s setting on Krestovsky Island includes lakes, greenery and duck houses, giving you places to pause between rides. Gazprom Arena is nearby, so it can be combined with a visit to the island’s football stadium.
Ride queues are not always the only cause of a wait: some attractions depart at intervals or when a train is full. Build in time between rides, even if the line looks short. Larger attractions can have height restrictions.
