Great zoo from Soviet times. Wide variety of steppe and desert species, lots of shade.
Gallery and museum exhibiting local artists
There is a huge Soviet mosaic on building of School #9.
It is a private museum located in a basement of an old Soviet building. You enter backyard and every surface is decorated with some kind of carpet ornament. If you are lucky artist come out and offer you to visit her studio in basement which is great.
It used to be a cathedral park near Russian Cathedral built in Russian Revival style hiding in far corner of the park. Some oak trees older than 100 years, but a bit noisy and crowded.
