Beautiful complex with many sculptures and nice views! It has an escalator inside so that you don't have to walk up and it is free and openly accessible to the public! A really nice place and a must visit if you are in Yerevan. I do recommend it!
Breathtaking views are only one of the many offerings this unique location has. There’s also the playful and unique art pieces in the Cafesjian Center for the Arts. The ascent to the top rewards you with the beautiful vistas of Yerevan. It’s not a difficult climb by any means but it’s also a nice way to stretch your legs. The Soviet architecture and fountains provide a feast for the eyes. I don’t think a visit to Yerevan is complete without a visit here, but that comes from someone who’s only been there once. But if and when I return to this lovely city, I will definitely make a visit to the Cascade.
One of the highlights in Yerevan. It gives you an amazing view over the city with the mountains in the background.
Two things though:
1. It looks like it's not finished. When you're all the way up the viewing point there is some serious work in progress. And looking at it,.it didn't gave me the feeling they're in a hurry to finish it. If at all.
2. You need to be a bit lucky with the weather and clouds for a clear mountain view.
For the rest, a 100% must do and must see when you're in Yerevan.

So nice to see whole city of Yerevan from the top. It is in the middle of the city, restaurants, bars are nearby and very good too. Must visit place of Armenia.

Not only can you see the city of Yerevan from above, but you can also see Mount Ararat in the distance on a clear day.
The cascade is illuminated at night and is very beautiful.
You can take the escalator up, but I recommend walking up.

One of the main highlights of Yerevan combining soviet architecture and modern art. The structure consists of a long staircase that was intended to connect the center of the city to the hill of the victory park to the north but was never completed. There is an indoor escalator inside and several pieces of art all across the structure and in the park at the lower end. The area is also surrounded by restaurants and cafes and is highly recommended for anyone visiting Yerevan.
