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 the family not only in a fun way, but also usefully.

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, but there is also an opportunity to take the best photo shoots among the multicolored autumn trees and landscape compositions.

Unfortunately, since the start of quarantine, the botanical garden has stopped operating without prior arrangements, so getting here at any moment will be an impossible wish. However, it is possible to arrange in advance 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

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

The multicolored installations are made in the form of various animals, insects, flowers and objects. Ordinary lawns have turned into flower beds with giant flowers or multicolored spheres. Each installation resembles separate chapters of a fairy-tale book that visitors turn through as they walk along the park's renovated paths.

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