Kazakhstan

Outdoor sights in Kazakhstan

  1. Gorky Park

    Almaty's biggest recreational area, at the eastern end of Gogol, is still known as Gorky Park. It has boating lakes, funfair rides, an Aquapark, a rather sad zoo, and several cafés, shashlyk and beer stands. It's busiest on Sunday and holidays. Trolleybus Nos 1 and 12 and bus Nos 65, 94 and 166 run along Gogol to the entrance.

  2. A

    Akvapark

    The central park on the south side of the river (reachable by a footbridge from the south end of Zheltoksan) is home to an antiquated funfair and the gleaming modern Akvapark, with a good indoor pool with slides, and outdoor slides and pools open from around May to September.
