Tranquil and worth a visit
We enjoyed our visit to the Wooden Village. It was picturesque and interesting. Many school children and excursions and tourists, but not bad. Nice look back in time.

Worth seeing, but be prepared to walk !!
This was my second visit to Russia, and my third museum of wooden buildings (I had seen a huge one in 2018, near Lake Baikal, on the way to Listvyanka, and I had also seen a small one the same year in Suzdal). This museum is sort of in-between. Definitely worth seeing if you are doing a Golden Ring tour. We were on a group tour, and it was an "included" item. We had a great guide, and I feel a guide is an absolute must to get the best out of such a museum. Some of the buildings are truly amazing. Some don't have a single nail, entirely wooden. The Russians have a real knack of doing things with wood, and museums such as this are proof. Fortunately we were given about two hours to see the place, it was well worth the effort! You can go inside most of the buildings. Don't miss the churches!
