One of Moscow's parks has turned into a realm of ice and snow, officially known as the Kingdom of Snow, boasting a selection of ice sculptures and a variety of activities to entertain thousands of visitors.

The display of frozen statues will give the guests a taste of a real winter fairytale.

The project celebrates the 100th anniversary of Russian animation. So, kids and adults will be able to watch their favorite animated cartoons and even find some of the characters made from ice while walking through a snow maze.
