Spend time having fun by taking part in quests. It has been proven that intellectual entertainment not only lifts the mood, but also helps participants become more friendly and united.

Clean avenues, well-kept lawns, a variety of entertainment options, and the possibility of renting scooters, roller skates or bicycles — in Gorky Park all the conditions have been created so that every hour spent here brings only positive and vivid emotions.

Feldman Ecopark — a unique area for entertainment and rest!

It is hard to imagine that Kharkiv has a zoo as large as the one in the capital of Ukraine. About 3000 animals live in Feldman Ecopark and wait for their guests every day. Admission is free for everyone! But that is not the only good news. The ecopark has almost everything you need to spend a day with your family not only having fun, but also usefully. Children are offered various workshops, educational programs and entertainment performances. The most active can enjoy rides or equipped playgrounds, while the curious can discover the interesting side of the natural world.

Memorable impressions in the botanical garden

One of the best places for autumn photo shoots is Kharkiv National Botanical Garden. It is not only beautiful in autumn here, but there is also an opportunity to take the best photos among the colorful autumn trees and landscape compositions.

Unfortunately, since the beginning of quarantine, the botanical garden has stopped operating without prior arrangements, so getting here at any moment is an impossible wish. However, it is possible to arrange in advance for a wedding, family or personal photo shoot. Such photos among the variety of flowers and trees will become one of the best in your photo collection.

Fantasy Park — a true fairy tale

Dreaming of feeling like a child again or wanting to give children a true wonder? Then in Kharkiv it is worth going to the fantasy park-exhibition under the open sky. The variety of sculptures enchants with multicolored lighting, which in the dark turns the park into a true fairy-tale kingdom.

The multicolored installations are made in the form of various animals, insects, flowers and objects. Ordinary lawns have turned into flowerbeds with giant flowers or multicolored balloons. Each installation resembles a separate chapter of a fairy-tale book that visitors page through while strolling along the park’s renewed paths.

The park was under reconstruction for two years. Now it has a modern stage for festive performances, updated fountains and new paths. Thanks to an incredibly beautiful open-air exhibition, it can turn an ordinary evening walk into a fairy-tale journey or a lovely romantic evening.
