The place is really unique! On one spot they collected samples of military and civil technics starting from mid of XX century! Well, unique is just a half of succes! The other half is museum is interactive and very interesting! Never concidered myself as technic-fan but I was thrilled to spin helicopter's propeller! Is there lots of places where you can take picture of you sitting on the airplane's wing or facing the cannon's muzzle?!
Weekdays it's not crowdy at all. The ticket's price is funny! So it worth to spend a couple of hours there. The only negative side is location and a bit complicated transportation to the museum. But it's not such a big deal
2. Tatishchev Monument

When you do not know where this monument is you just pass by as you will not be able to see it from the street.
But when you stop your car and walk a minute you are amazed. The gentleman on a horse and behind him the river Volga. Huge, wide and the Shiguly Mountains behind!
Erected in 1998 this is a real nice monument. And a lot of people and a recently build-up maze or "labyrinth" in the Russian way which will need years to grow. A really nice place to go, enjoy the view, take some time - you will like it, I am sure!

Amazing church building with thousand of flowers in a small park or garden. Everything clean and well looked after. And the iron gates all along the ground - you just need to stand there and take a deep breathe! AMAZING!

This museum is difficult to find but worth searching for, small but crammed with cars and concept vehicles .Best of all it is free and has an ex soviet staff canteen still in use which visitors can use.A real gem
5. Tolyatti Museum of Local Lore

What can you expect from the provincial museum of Local Lore... A couple of old pictures, a map of 1737, the reconstruction of several rooms - not much you say. Well you may be right, but don't be so quick to judge. Yes, Togliatty museum of Local Lore has all this standard stuff, but...
But knowing the history of the Stavropol (the original name of Togliatty), which was flooded due to the construction of the Volga Hydroelectric Station and basically disappeared from the face of the earth, you realize that the only chance to learn how did old Stavropol looked like is to see its old pictures in the Museum!
Same GAS-flooding-reason makes you think of how did the land look like before 1950s, and 50 years old and much older maps are here to give you an idea!
Finally reconstructions of different interiors are very accurate and full of details! Now (summer 2013) exposition covers only ages up to beguining of sovet times, but museum works of extention of its exibition and soon they are to open socializm-way of life platforms.
Except from the city history itself you may also learn about more ancient ages in the paleontologic part of the exibition! Kids always love to discover the dinosaur in the box full of sand.
And of course it is fun to finish your visit taking photo of yourself in the historical entourage, though it's only the board with the holes for your heads =)

Quite a big park, a lot of outdoor restaurants under the tent, music and lights everywhere, tanks from WWII, the monument with the fire in the middle and actually, for me that it was.

There is absolutely quietness when you enter through the main gate at a weekend. A lot of construction- and reconstruction works are going on, but this Sunday it was just peaceful and nobody was around except us.
You are not allowed to enter some buildings and having a walk around is also more than fine. Enjoy the beautiful view to Volga, too.
8. Einstein's Entertaining Sciences Museum

Reviewed By sm0kedcheese - Macau, China
It is not very big (only one floor). Actually it's like a scientific exhibition where you can interact with all the exhibits and a staff there offered wonderful English explanation (with a dramatic tone, haha). For an adult especially one who have a background in science the exhibition may look a little bit simple, but for children this is a good place for them to explore their interest towards science and develop their skills to deeply think about scientific principles. Wish I had such a place to go when I was a child!
整個博物館看上去更像是一個科學展覽（因為只有一層）。門票不算是很便宜，而且沒有學生票，但是對小孩子來說是個非常好的培養對科學的興趣和提高思考能力的地方（有點像香港科學館！）一個館員給我們進行了生動形象的英文講解（感覺有英文講解格外難得……）。不知道什麼時候才會有下一個講中文的人甚至是外國人去參觀這個可愛的博物館，陶里亞蒂是個美好的地方:D
9. Temple of the Assumption

Reviewed By VasilyMalygin - St. Petersburg, Russia
This church is hiding away from the busy city center (all three of them actually) and it may be not so easy to find one or check on just "on the way". But it is definatly worth personal visit!
Togliatty is young city with lack of historical places and this church is not old as well, but it looks like one even feels like one! May be the reason of special atmosphere is the location - on the Volga's bank surrounded by forest. Or it is so different 'cos it's made of wood and not concret... Possibly its size, very compact in compare to other city's churches, also plays its part... Who knows, but in total church of the Assumption is being the most beautiful, engaging and charming of all ortodox cathedrals in Togliatty.
The belfry on the top of the church offers the best view of the Volga river but as for bells peal it is better to enjoy one from the small square in front of the church.

Этот детский городок строился и развивался вместе с Автозаводским районом. Его создавали и проектировали работники завода. Детский парк раньше, так и сейчас -это именно то место , где можно провести время всей семьей, взрослым и детям. Все будет интересно. Открытие парка состоялось в 1980 году. Это место стало популярным и для всех горожан.Было достаточно аттракционов, игровых автоматов. Но время требовало перемен. В 2005 году часть аттракционов были отреставрированы и установлены новые.Детский парк получает новое название "Фанни - парк"аттракционов разных очень много на любой вкус. кроме разнообразных аттракционов здесь очень часто устраиваются для юных посетителей всевозможные мероприятия, дискотеки, различные игры.Так же можно прогуляться по не совсем ухоженной территории парка, это огорчает. Парку необходима реконструкция, обновление дорожек, ограждении, убрать лишние старые строения. Не смотря на недостатки, парк - это прекрасное место для отдыха.И цены не кусаются. Парк живет успешной, насыщенной, интересной, богатой на творчество работой. В парке дышится легко, свежо, хочется гулять и гулять.В парке работают на аттракционах молодые люди. Пожелаем всем сотрудникам парка хорошего настроения и успешной работы.
