Top Nature Spots in Russia

If you're up for some entertainment, catch a show at the open-air theater, but check the schedule online first to avoid disappointment!

If you're planning to ride the carousel, go for it right when you arrive; it gets crowded quickly and waiting can kill your vibe!

My advice is to explore the less-trafficked paths; they have some cool art installations and quieter spots to relax, away from the crowds.

Bring a picnic! The park has nice green spots where you can relax. I wish I had packed some snacks instead of grabbing overpriced food.

Check out the park's website for any free entry days; I found out they had one right after my visit, which would have saved me some cash.

Don't miss the rotating exhibitions they sometimes feature really cool contemporary artists. I stumbled upon one by chance and it was amazing!

Wear comfy shoes, especially if you want to explore the entire park. I regretted my choice of footwear halfway through!

Bring a snack or picnic; there are lovely spots to sit and relax. I spent a lovely hour just people-watching!

I recommend visiting early in the morning, around 8 AM, to enjoy the serene atmosphere without the crowds. Plus, the morning light is perfect for photos.

Definitely take your time exploring the smaller pathways—some hidden art and sculptures are easy to miss if you stick to the main paths!

I think it's worth packing a portable charger. I took tons of pics, and my battery was drained by the end of my visit!

I recommend bringing your own snacks. The food options were pretty pricey and not that great. We spent way too much on lunch and could’ve saved cash if we’d packed a picnic

If you want some awesome souvenir photos, try to catch the jellyfish exhibit around 4 PM. The lighting is just perfect for pics, and the colors are stunning in the tanks!

I suggest hitting up the aquarium on a weekday, especially around 10 AM. It was way less crowded, and I got to see the exhibits without feeling rushed.

Make sure to check their feeding schedule online before your visit. I missed a dolphin show because I didn’t plan ahead, and my kids were super bummed about it.

If you can, visit around 10 AM. The crowds are smaller then and you can really enjoy the peace and beauty of the gardens. Plus, it's great for taking photos without too many people in the way!

There’s a cute little cafe in the park! Grab a coffee there instead of going to the more touristy spots nearby. It’s cozy and you'll save some cash!

Check out the fountains in the late afternoon when the light is perfect for photos. They look stunning and it’s a great way to unwind after a busy day exploring

Check the weather beforehand! I got caught in a random rain shower. An umbrella can save your day if the forecast isn't looking good.

Bring snacks and drinks with you! The cafes inside the park can be pricey, and some benches are perfect for a little picnic

Wear comfy shoes! The park is quite expansive with lovely paths, but after a day of walking, your feet will thank you for good footwear.

Consider bringing a picnic – the park has lovely spots to relax, and eating in the park saves you from overpriced café options. Just pack some snacks and drinks!

don’t miss the fountains, especially during the summer when they’re in full show. check the fountain schedule when you arrive so you time your visit right!
