Response from Антон Владимирович[+++++]
Listvyanka: for children there is the nerve garden and the limnological museum - you can work with microscopes there, it's very interesting in winter there is a dog sledding club hotels are very inexpensive - five hundred thousand rubles per place I stayed in the hostel Baikalskie Prostory warm - there are batteries on electricity kitchen, sauna, swimming pool, veranda with views of Baikal fishing unparalleled children there from age five to rest interesting Goojekit: near skiing, water procedures in hot springs / in winter cool bathing in the snowy forest /, massage, spa, sauna, salt mines Arshan and Shumak: far from Baikal, but the mountains are steep, the valley of volcanoes programs are ideal for sports or active people a child of ten must like Rest on Baikal one of the most economical in Russia. And it is better not to go for fans of beach and lounging rest. Baikal is focused on outdoor activities and immersion in the culture of different local peoples?

are no hotels on the shore anywhere except Listvyanka, and what they call hotels in the only place where you can bathe in the Baikal in summer - the north, called the little sea - are wooden houses with minimum amenities. You should go to Baikal at the end of July, first week of August, then it gets wet, foggy, cold and there's nothing to do there except to visit Listvyanka, from which you can get to Irkutsk. If you need some entertainments I advice Utulik - almost on the shore of Baikal, there are discos, hiking, but the water there is cold and the accommodation is not luxurious, but again you should do it in season.
I've been there, it makes no sense to take children there if they are not walruses, even in summer nights are cold and there is nothing to do there. there are hotels, but mostly they are a couple of stars, the rest are overpriced, and the Chinese are going there now, that's why the prices are even higher
