Very beautiful place.
One of the most important places to see in Ust-Kamenogorsk.
In the park you can find small church, a lot of flowers. Small monuments from fairy tales.
Fresh air, silent music, trees and flowers- all of these creates a great opinion of the park.

The park is very big and you can spend the whole day walking around it. There is a number of different areas such as the rose garden, the zoo, the boat station, the beach, children's playground and the birch grove, "ethno-village" with examples of houses of different nations and some other things which can be interesting. There are some cafes and souvenir shops. And sometimes, especially at weekends there can be some cultural events. Recommend to visit this park!

I visited this Cathedral during my last travel in Oskemen. The church is near to Irtysh river, so you can have a nice walk along the river and then visit church. From outside the church seems very big but inside is smaller than I expected. Anyway it is a nice church, very clean and it deserves a visit.

The Zhambyl Zhabayev Park in Oskemen is a beautiful little park with lovely green space, lots of flowers in bloom when we were there, birds and small wildlife and probably one of the cleanest parks I have ever been to! It’s not a bad thing at all so it shows a nice level of pride that the city has for its parks, we had a picnic and an enjoyable time relaxing in the sun and watching the world go by.

This monument is located along Irtysh river and was built to remember all soldiers of Oskemen who died during war in Afghanistan. The monument is black and white and thanks to this has a strong visual impact, it is not possible don't notice when walking. A little fire in the center of the monument say that all people of Oskemen remember and cry its dead soldiers. Touching monument, visit it!

The Boris Alexandrov Sports Palace was just down the street from our hotel when we were in Oskemen about a week ago. We ducked in one day to check out the Soviet-style rinks and were able to catch part of a game between some younger kids who were fast and skilled players. The building was quite nice, the bleachers all had great views of the ice and the small crowd was lively. If there had been a big game on while we were in town this would have been an interesting venue to check it all out.

There are apparently two Ethnographical museums across from each other next to Zhastar Park in the middle of Oskemen. We were unaware there were two, so we went to just one, that contained a really beautifully furnished yurt and many lovely textiles, costumes, and jewelry. It is a small inexpensive museum, but very rewarding to visit, better, I thought, than the Almaty museums.

I visitied this monument during my travel in Oskemen. The area is well know as "Strelka", a place where Irtysh and Ul'ba rivers meet each other. It is a very nice walk going to Strelka and the monument to the heroes of Soviet Unione is large and majestic. I advice to visit this place at sunset, where sunlight is warmer and also because monument is nicely illuminated with artificial lights. Please see my pictures.

This is my fourth year working and living in Oskemen. I started skiing here and basically taught myself with a little help from my friends. I really enjoy Altaiskiye Alpy. The service has always been excellent. Although I do not speak the language, the staff is always friendly and helpful. This is my weekend "go to" place in Winter. My more experienced skiing friends enjoy the slopes as well and we all concur that it is a really fun affordable day out.
