HISTORY:
The mall opened on November 28, 2014. The most interesting thing is that it was built on the site of the famous former Central Airfield named after M.V. Frunze. It was founded in 1923. At one time it was used as a test airfield for experimental aviation and a military airfield. The first Moscow airport was located here. The airfield was not closed specially for the construction of the shopping center but rather stopped functioning back in 2003. All the time there was an “aircraft graveyard” on this place.
The rest of the aviation equipment was simply taken there. And it was a very beautiful sight, but over time everything fell into decay. People began to destroy aircraft to a greater extent, and corrosion did not spare them. Therefore, it was advisable to give space for a new project. By the way, not all the land was used for the construction of an entertainment center, part of it was given for the development of the park. And in August 2018, a park called Khodynskoye Pole was opened near Aviapark. The Italian architectural bureau LAND Milano participated in its design. From its runway took off such famous tapholes as Chkalov V.P., Nesterov P.N. and many others. On its territory there are several ponds and a dry fountain. Many playgrounds with modern infrastructure, as well as sports complexes. You can climb a small hill and sit while admiring the views. From there you can also see the Moscow City complex. This is an ideal place to relax, especially after a long shopping trip.
Food Court:
The mall has a large food court located on the 4th floor. You can find the usual fast food there ( McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King). But there is an opportunity to diversify your diet.
