Abstract: The features of the sustainable operation of military theme parks in a pandemic are revealed using the example of the Kulikovo Field Museum-Reserve, Tula Region, Russia, and similar foreign parks are also considered. The reason for considering this object was the results of a comprehensive analysis of military theme parks, among which Kulikovo Field stood out for its innovative approaches to museum activities. A diagram of the location of the main objects on the territory of the museum-reserve is presented and their description is given. It is proposed to consider the park attendance graphs obtained as a result of online monitoring of Yandex electronic resources, conducted from the end of 2020 to the present. As a result of the study, it was determined that the system has not yet been worked out: the information does not reflect an objective picture in the form of numerical values, is updated without specifying the frequency of updates and is only informational. As expected, there is seasonality and unevenness in visiting the territory, which is associated with national holidays, vacations and weather conditions. Thus, the study showed that despite the difficult epidemiological situation, there is an interest in visiting the military theme park, and hence the social demand for the complex.
