In the 19th century the park got a new development under the close supervision of local governors, who constantly added to it their additions. In 1934, he received the name and was divided into several parts. In this form, Gorky Park in Krasnoyarsk exists today.

The main advantage of Gorky Park is, according to many, its location in the center of the city. The favorite place of the townspeople occupies a huge territory, divided by a central alley. There are many fountains and greenery. Zones are equipped with benches and urns. Despite the large flow of people, the territory is always clean and cozy.

Along the avenues there are shopping benches with various delicacies. On the territory there are summer cafes. Prices do not differ much from urban ones.

According to visitors' reviews, the most popular attractions are: "Ferris Wheel", "Roller Coaster", circuit, "Room of Fear". A lot of good entertainment for children, but they are almost all the same.

Children really like shooting at targets in a dash. Even in case of misses, children receive prizes.

Of the shortcomings, visitors note a few inflated prices for rides. On average, their price is from 150 rubles.

But even if you do not ride a carousel, you can spend a wonderful time in the park absolutely free of charge, strolling along picturesque alleys or relaxing on a bench.

In winter Gorky Park runs a skating rink. Attractions at this time do not function.
