Most Russian families—about three out of four—are willing to spend up to 10 thousand rubles on family entertainment during school holidays. This finding comes from a recent survey conducted by Pochta Bank and shared by socialbites.ca (Источник: Почта Банк).
Smaller shares of respondents set aside higher budgets: 13% plan up to 20 thousand rubles, 9% up to 30 thousand rubles, and 3% allocate as much as 50 thousand rubles for holiday activities (Источник: Почта Банк).
When it comes to how families will spend their time, joint cultural experiences top the charts. About a quarter of participants intend to visit theatres, museums, exhibitions, or cinemas with their children. Educational clubs and activities for kids are on the radar for roughly one in five families, while a similar portion plans to spend time outside the city with their children. Family trips are on the agenda for around 13% of respondents, and some families will simply go out with their children without a fixed plan. A portion, about 14%, reported having no specific plan for the holidays (Источник: Почта Банк).
For those planning trips with the whole family, the majority show a preference for domestic travel. Forty percent of respondents are prepared to spend more than 70 thousand rubles, while 22% aim for a budget in the 30 to 50 thousand ruble range. About 10% do not want to exceed 70 thousand rubles, and 6% feel confident about a budget around 10 thousand rubles (Источник: Почта Банк).
Regarding how holiday plans will be paid for, most participants intend to use their regular monthly income. Roughly 73% expect to cover activities from ongoing earnings, with 9% relying on savings accounts or deposits, and 8% using a credit card. An additional 7% have already saved money specifically for the holidays, and 3% plan to use the money set aside for holidays (Источник: Почта Банк).
In the latest calendar, school holidays in many Russian regions span from late October to early November, with an extra day added to the break. This adjustment shapes how families approach plans, budgeting, and travel options for the season (Источник: Почта Банк).
Across the survey, conducted among Pochta Bank customers and social media followers, more than 1,700 people aged 25 to 60 from diverse regions of Russia contributed their plans and preferences for school holidays. Respondents could select multiple options, reflecting a broad range of interests and budgets for leisure time with family (Источник: Почта Банк).
Historically, many Russians also consider travel plans for the New Year, a factor that continues to influence how households allocate resources and schedule time off. The latest data highlights a steady interest in balancing affordable entertainment with meaningful family experiences during school breaks (Источник: Почта Банк).
