Originally opened as the All-Union Industrial Exhibition, its main purpose was to display major science achievements and industry advanced experience exhibits.
Today it is used for many festivals, fairs and exhibitions. It is a long stretch of land that keeps surprising you with one beautiful thing after another. There are 2 large fountains. This first one on the path is called "Friendship of Peoples", the second is called, "Stone Flower." Take time to look up at the buildings and admire the fountains. The park was decorated with many flowers and was very green. As we were leaving the VVTs a camel was walking around being shown off, and there were a group of young Russian boys street dancing on a large mat. It looked like they were having a good time. If you have some spare time and especially if you are looking for good, cheap souvenirs it is a must! Not many foreigners know this little hidden place exists.
