A huge, well designed and cosy parks. If you wish to have a proper walk and enjoy a beautiful view on the Vyatka river, just find some time and go there. It is not too far from the city centre...

We were on a tour of Kirov, Russia and were recommended by our guide to visit the Museum of Paleontology. It is not big, but it is very interesting with some hands on activities for kids as well as lots of fossils and scientific information. As a science teacher for the US that was visiting half way around the world it was neat to see that museums of our history and origins are pretty much the same world wide. It's really a small world in the end.

Kirov is a pretty hip European City in the middle of Russia. Not many American visit there, but it is quite friendly to them. We loved Spasskaya Street with numerous statues for great pictures and the Chocolate and Ice Cream Museum. Fun gift shops as well. Just fabulous.

We had limited time at the end of our day of touring in Kirov and our guide recommended picking up delicious chocolates from the Chocolate History Museum. The shop was delightful with a cafe with seats to enjoy coffee and yummy treats. It was a great last stop in our time in the beautiful city of Kirov.

A not that big park with a pond, pleasant to walk around in good sunny weather, you can feed ducks that are almost always there. No swimming, water is not suitable for it. Can also rent a little boat for some romance. The pond is not big but allows to take a couple of nice photos. One of the favourite place among the Kirovites!

The Monument Family is a tribute to the Dymkova Dolls of the Kirov Region. It is such a GREAT monument with differing legends of good fortune depending on where you sit. If you touch the baby you will have many children. Unfortunately I can't remember all the legends, but it is a fun monument to visit.

Я был приятно удивлен оказавшись в глубоко провинциальном городе что здесь такая прекрасная картинная галерея. Здание находится в историческом центре города, окружено симпатичными особняками рубежа 19020 в.в. Здание просторное двухэтажное. Билет недорогой, платить можно банковской картой. Есть и экскурсоводы и аудиогид, который можно включить на внешний динамик)) Коллекция живописи огромная, начиная от икон и до современных живописцев. Много ценных картин известных художников, в т.ч. и уроженца этих мест Васнецова. Любителям искусства- обязательно посетить))
9. Theatre Square

This is the government center and as with every government center that we encountered on our visit this summer there are often monuments to Lenin and evidence of the hammer and sickle. This is an active government building where the governor or Kirov works and so it's not a place you can go inside and tour, but you can view it from the outside. This square is very nice and very busy.

Милое место в пригородной зоне Кирова - добраться реально и на такси, и на пригородном автобусе, и на рейсовом городском (примерно полчаса езды из центра города). Зимой здесь можно наслаждаться природой, просто гуляя, или катаясь на лыжах, или веселиться, спускаясь на "ватрушках" по склонам оврага. Есть прокат лыж и "ватрушек". Видимо, летом здесь много птиц - практически на каждом дереве видны гнезда. Из странностей: на многочисленных скворечниках пестрит реклама местных фирм. Вероятно, пернатые - целевая аудитория для кировского бизнеса. Кроме того, в парке беда с туалетами. Я не понимаю, как на такой огромной территории может не быть уборных, пусть и за городом. Мы обнаружили только один деревенский туалет (с дыркой в яму) на месте для пикников. Неужели так сложно установить здесь хотя бы портативные пластиковые кабинки?
