The company launched its New Year tourist program, "Searching for the Magic Key." Fifth-graders from Slutsk were the first to embark on this educational and exciting journey through the most fascinating locations of the Engineering Giant. And by the most wonderful coincidence, one of the kids became the BELAZ 80,000th tourist in 2025! This is an all-time record for the number of visitors in a single year. In 2024, the plant hosted just under 60,000 guests.

At BELAZ, the schoolchildren immediately found themselves in the joyful company of the Snow Maiden and her fairytale assistants. Together, they explored the plant museum with its impressive collection of untold treasures. A noisy crowd strolled through the assembly workshop, where they experienced the mysteries of technology and the magic of creating the mining equipment. There, showing ingenuity and wits, the children helped Father Frost to find the treasured and cherished key to the New Year's Dump Truck with gifts.

Eleven-year-old Timofey Biblevskiy became the lucky winner of a magic key and a certificate as the 80,000th visitor in 2025. Father Frost personally presented him with a memorable gift and a drive in the cab of a real 90-ton BELAZ dump truck. Timofey, by the way, is a diligent pupil, attending drama classes and music school, where he is learning the basics of playing the clarinet.

At BELAZ Equipment Exhibition Area, the children curiously explored the legendary mining giants. An atmospheric climb aboard the world's largest 450-ton BELAZ dump truck decorated with New Year's finery, exciting games, contests, and dancing around the main Christmas Tree, dream photos next to the wheels of these mega-machines, surprises, and branded gifts – all of this created a truly splendid and unforgettable adventure for the young travelers, their parents, and teachers.

"I've never been on such a fascinating tour!" – said Darya Gachko, an English teacher at Slutsk Secondary School No. 11, sharing her impressions of BELAZ visit. "I got goosebumps right from the start, when we first entered the museum with the kids. It's wonderful that our children have the opportunity to experience such world-famous technology and unique production. A huge gratitude to all the fairytale characters and the tour guides for their understanding of fifth-graders' psychology: what needs to be explained and shown, how, at what pace, and to what extent. I have nothing but the words of admiration for the wonderfully arranged BELAZ New Year program. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for everything, and especially for the thoughtful gifts! We look forward to visiting you again.
