Victory Park

It's not a very special place but it's good for children and good for you if you want to enjoy view of the city on carousel and the ticket is 3300 drums

I really loved this place. We went there at night and there was music, entertainment and fun rides for kids and adults as well. There is a monument, mother of Armenia statue with eternal flames 🔥. During August it was windy there. Visit this place and you will like it especially at night. Sometimes crowded. You have few shops with snacks and live food to try it out as well. Average cost. Recommended.

The mother Armenia monument is impressive with a a simple museum inside. There are tanks and other vehicles outside. Then surrounding park is a bit run down and stuck in communist times. The abandoned restaurant is cool although you can’t go inside.

To get here you can go up to the cascade and walk about 10 minutes. Or take a taxi.

Amazing place to go to after having visited the cascades! (Victory park is a 5 minute walk from the top of the cascades). You can go looking for the abandoned Aragil restaurant where you’ll get stunning views

It's a little out of the way but it's a good spot to see the mountain, the monument, as well as their memory of their territorial wars. There are things for children to play with as well.

What I like is that there is a nice park leading up to the hundreds of stairs with multiple Fernando Botero's statues, permanently on display as well as many other interesting full sized art. There is shade, a nice view towards the top and many seating areas along both sides to sit, relax and take on the view. Both sides of the park are lined with restaurants and cafes with outdoor seating. This park comes alive in the evening with locals and tourists strolling about and many climbing the stairs to the top.

THere are three levels, I think to the top. The pleasant color of locally quarried stone line the stairs, alcoves and buildings along the way. The stairs are comfortable in their width and height for anyone to comfortably make their way up. There are plenty of options to sit along the way, mostly the medium walls bordering the vegetation. Each level provides an option to rest and take in the view below. As you get to the immediate top...the is unfinished construction which seems to have stopped a while ago. Deeply excavated ground with some laid foundation and rusted rebar columns left bent out of shape. I hope they haven't given up on this. THere is a way to go past this fenced of area along a maintained path and a short walk through a neighborhood uphill. A further climb up the stairs reveal a square with the monument on one side and a spectacular view of the city and mount Ararat on the other. The square is dirty, appears not maintained . There are benches for sitting there as well. If you have enough energy I would recommend walking a bit further up the street and going under an underpass to the other side of the street and taking a short walk toward the tomb of the unknown soldier with a large statue, an eternal flame and again beautiful views of downtown.

The construction just amazes me, almost the size of the Liberty statue, then there's the museum inside with a brief history about the construction, and finally, the military vehicles are something that you just can't miss and awaken the little army fanatic kid inside... Last but not least; mount Ararat! Who said you get to see it only from Cascade or Khor Virap, this is your destination too! Check it out, very close to down town!
