Morning visit to Grutas Park – an outdoor museum of notorious Soviet political figures. To the date, no other museum or cultural institution has endeavoured to collect or duly exhibit Soviet relics. In Grutas Park, monumental sculptures are positioned in a 2 km-long exposition, where guard towers, fragments of concentration camps and other details resemble Siberia. The park keeps young visitors busy as well. Children can enjoy the swings at the playground (the Soviet times Lunapark) and find it interesting to imagine how and what kind of games their parents and grandparents used to play. Young visitors are also amused by the inhabitants of the mini-zoo located in the park – featuring birds and animals.
