Time magazine reports on The Guardian reporting on Russia’s new “Patriot Park,” a military-focused theme park an hour outside Moscow.

Want your child to learn how to use a grenade launcher? Now, they can at Putin’s ‘Patriot Park,’ a sort of Disneyland built to showcase Russian military prowess.

Attractions include military rations for lunch and tanks and missiles to play with, the Guardian reports.

Time notes that the theme park’s opening comes against a broader context of the crisis in Ukraine.

The park opened on Tuesday in Kubinka, about an hour outside of Moscow. The opening comes at a time of increased patriotism and militarization in Russia, in the year following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Guardian says.
