By the way, this is the first to sing fountains in the USSR, and, we must think, from the moment of discovery they attracted crowds of curious tourists, and even from abroad. The spectacle is very beautiful and very bright, the sort of water dance and music - you can, like a crowded, and to sleep, admiring this beauty. The music that fountains performs is from world classics to national and popular motifs of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Well, most importantly, this show is completely free!
Yerevan Zoo
Beautiful place for family leisure. The zoo of the capital is more than 70 years old, so, on the occasion of a recent anniversary in 2011, rare animals were delivered to the zoo, such as Capricorn (who did not know these are mountain goats), Egyptian volatile dogs, Mandrils, Lemur-Vari and other animals. In total, 2749 animals live here 204 species! The figure is impressive, fact. Animals in the zoo are suitable in the conditions as close as possible to the natural habitat. Pretty the visit time by the time of feeding animals - the zoo workers make a whole show from this process, very interesting. And some animals in the zoo can be stroked and fed (from different animals - different times, you can see a schedule here: http://www.yerevanzoo.am/index.php?id=161&l=0)
Feeding for animals here is made in the form of a quest -Medvedi looking for vegetables and fruits in hidden in ice cubes, large cats "attack" closed boxes, which are slightly reminded by the victim, but tigers must bounce up at a piece of meat.

Children's Park
Children's park with numerous attractions - well, what else can the kids dream of! There is this park in the gorge, in the pure area of Yerevan, which is far from the roadway so that it is very calm and quiet here. Here and carousels, both trampolines, and a car, and the railway, and much more. There are tables with tassels and paints, so, after riding on all carousels, children can simply pour or strover figures from plaster, which are also sold immediately. Railway attracts a lot of attention. This road with the Little Station "Irenique" (Motherland) is located in the park itself. Tickets for the train are cheap (kids up to 3 years old), and on these open trays, children with parents will pass through the gorge (about 2 kilometers) between the Roddan River and the drainage channel. But do not expect that this is a super-duper train - all the same, the park exists for a long time, and the train slightly dilated, but still, it is very fun!
