I love this place. Now, in spring, all the trees are in blossom - magnolias, apple-trees, lilacs, tulips, daffodils... So it's overcrowded, particularly when lilacs blossoms. But the park is beautiful in all seasons. Believe me, I know it, because I go there for jogging at least 2 times a week all year. The park is fairly big. You can... More

Great place to escape with kids from noisy city. Good playground. Nice views over the river. Usually they have some other events every week-ends. You can come with picnic and enjoy it with friends.

this is a giant park with many interesting views and corners. there are also some greenhouses where you can see exotical plants. it is must-see in May when trees are in blossom but the garden may be overcrowded, there are't any restaurants or shops so take water and food with you.

Been there in 2009, spring time to see magnolias blooming as those are very rear in Ukraine. They were great of course, greenhouses were good too, the room with butterflies was a big fun for kids, my daughter saw the birth of a butterfly and was very excited about it. The rest of the territory is kind of chaotic, nothing... More

This place is very nice. Especialy during April-May when lilac flowers because there is a collection with more than 100 sorts of this plant. Moreover you will see typical vegetation for different zones of Ukraine (woods and grasslands).

In the springtime and again Autumn there are flower shows held here. The Tulip show is my favorite. Magnificent colors, and the layout is truly superb. Great day out.

A nice way to spend some quiet time and breath the air. Lovely gardens and roses that will knock your eyes out with their colour and size. Exotic plants from all over the world. A nice side trip.

I have excellent opportunity to walk in that botanical garden almost every day. The reason is that I work nearby and have a walk there at dinner time. It has its charm and it is beautiful every season:in spring when tulips and lilac are blossoming, in summer when roses are flowering, in autumn when chrysanthemums are bright and amazing. If... More
