By taxi 15 minutes from the center. You can go if you have time left after exploring the city itself. The inspection will not take much time. We went without a guide. You can walk around the territory, it is beautiful and well maintained. There are many peacocks that move freely. You can buy food.
Not Peterhof, of course, but everything is beautiful in its class. And, at least a little less merchants compared to other tourist places in the city. Well, peacocks are simply incomparable!
Definitely ready to visit, it's better in the late afternoon, it's not so hot and there are few tourists (I was in August). Peacocks are walking around the territory, it's unusual.
Take a guide, you won't regret it. The entrance itself is 500 rubles. Everything is gorgeous and beautiful. It's surprisingly interesting.
We've been thinking for a long time whether we should go in or not. There wasn't much time. But we decided to come in and did not regret it👌
