Miniature Park

Walking along the paths of the botanical garden of the Agrarian University in Kherson, be sure to pay attention to the local miniature park — “Kherson in Miniature.” It contains the most notable and noteworthy architectural landmarks of Kherson, Ukraine, and some countries of the world, whose national groups now live in the city.

The miniature park features, to a greater extent, reduced prototypes of landmarks from different centuries: the Parthenon (Greece), the Wailing Wall (Israel), Shipka (Bulgaria), the Brandenburg Gate (Germany), the Maiden Tower (Azerbaijan), the Kherson Gate, and others. The miniature park operates outdoors throughout the year, so the condition of some exhibits is worse than that of the originals, but this does not affect visitors’ desire to appreciate which special architectural masterpieces are located in the homelands of foreigners who live in Kherson.
