Slide 1 of 8
Exotic animals and a really clean and geen zoopark. Information sign boards in english and public wifi could have personally helped me as I couldn't read a word of Russian.
Nice place to have a walk, 50% in 2:30 hours.
Lovely zoo. Would've given 5 stars if they had Prigozhin feeding a koala UPDATE: the Chef last seen in tiger cage. Tiger hasn't been seen in public since
At first it doesn't seem too big, but it will take you about 4 hrs to at least see all that there is. A lot of different animals and a decent choice of foods. The territory could definitely be kinda more taken care of, but still it's one of the must visits of the city.
I really love it so much and garden too super nice and all my family was happy thanks so much
Good zoo with great collection of endangered animals. Have some concerns about their conditions, but as I understood zoo is developing. Did not like that they organized really noisy activities close to animals.
Very clean and green, though also old and not reach , obvious. This is a very good place to show your kids or to have a long walk and enjoy weather if weather isn't too hot)
Good place to visit in Rostov with children. Hints: bicycles or giroscooters are prohibited on territory of Zoo; there is a parking but it's pretty hard to find parking place, especially on holidays.

Wonderful place for spending here at least 5 hours for full joy. Aquapark is subdivided into three parts. Common part with all kinds of water attracts (slides..., kids water playground, jacuzzi), second part is about thermo - water of different temperatures, different saunas, waterfalls and wonderful tunnel of water circulation. Third part is on the roof on open air. Wonderfull views of city there, big swimming pools and different kinds of sauna (worldwide) as well as cafe is here. Price might be different due to the time you are ready to spend there and the day as well (weekends are costly). All the times I have been there I was fully happy and left H2O fully satisfied.
Great and huge water park. But Milk shakes are horrible and totally waste of money. Also no free flip flops. Need to buy pair for 80 Rub after paying 1500 Rub for water park ticket.
It's an amazing place with a lot of activities. I was delighted to be there. One of the most exciting things was a roof swimming pool. It was incredible to be on the roof in the middle of the February. I never had such experience before. You should definitely visit this place.
Cool place for kids and adults. I would advise to wear your non slip shoes at all times and take them off near the pools and slides. Check in advance if you need tubes or mats for using a slide. Note that you will be required to take off your swimming glasses and phones when on the slide. Learn the instructions carefully. Note that shower zone and locker zone are separated by a hall that is a common area for both men and women. So with no expectations of that happening my friend walked out naked from the shower to the locker room and saw men in this little hallway without a division.
I visited H2O today with my friends who are local.. well it's a place inside glass dome filled will all possible water rides, pools, sauna and other activities. Around 10 to 12 adult rides and 3 to 4 pools. The best one is the roof top pool, it's quite and a wonderful experience :)
Nice place for both individuals and families. You can enjoy fresh drinks while in the swimming pool. The staff is very friendly, however many of them speak no English.
Quite nice and technically advanced. You can pay for everything extra at the end when you return the locker key. They also have some staff who speaks English. The rides are fun, too.
Loved it! The prices are not expensive at all and you will have a great time. Went to both spa and waterpark but in different days. The saunas are amazing!

Beautiful architecture style. Interesting show inside the building
Are you a lover of the musical arts? Do you love drama and acting? This theater is one of the best theaters I've been to. It is organized, the staff is kind and available to attend to your need. Security is also dependable. You definitely got to go and see things for yourself.
Great place. Outstanding acoustics. Amazing orchestra and director.
A great place, I can call it a magical place, the music and the dance are epics
Great theater with good acoustics. We saw the Sympho Rick concerts there and the performers were brilliant, both on quality and in enthusiasm.
Great, beautiful & lovely place
It is an amazing place and security. It is like stepping into a fairytale atmosphere.
Nice actors, good musicians. I like their operas. Certainly recommend.

(Translated by Google) Paramonovsky warehouses are a cult place in Rostov-on-Don. Absolutely everyone knows them. And even if you weren’t there, you heard. At the moment, this is a complex of dilapidated warehouse buildings, one of which is in use and has recently been reconstructed, built in the mid-late 19th century. The warehouses were intended to store grain, which was subsequently poured onto barges. Previously, there was a famous bathhouse here, but in 2016 it was dismantled and the passage to the warehouses was closed. Now there is a small spring flowing next to which greenery is almost constantly growing. They say that the local springs have a temperature of 18 degrees all year round - hence the greenery. Despite the fact that the buildings have the status of a Historical and Architectural Monument of federal significance, they either want to “rebuild” them, or even completely demolish them and “delight” the city with another hotel and restaurants. Unfortunately, the townspeople continue to contribute to the destruction of buildings - garbage is constantly present here. And in general the place is unkempt, which is a pity. (Original) Парамоновские склады - культовое место Ростова-на-Дону. Их знают абсолютно все. И даже если там не были, то слышали. На данный момент это комплекс полуразрушенных зданий складов, один из которых используется и недавно проводилась его реконструкция, построенных в середине - конце XIX века. Склады предназначались для хранения зерна, которое впоследствии пересыпали на баржи. Ранее здесь была знаменитая купальня, но в 2016 году её разобрали, а проход на склады закрыли. Сейчас протекает небольшой источник в рядом с которым практически постоянно растёт зелень. Говорят, здешние источники круглый год имеют температуру 18 градусов - отсюда и зелень. Несмотря на то, что строения имеют статус Памятника истории и архитектуры федерального значения их то хотят "построить заново", а то и вовсе снести и "порадовать" город очередной гостиницей и ресторанами. К сожалению, горожане продолжают способствовать разрушению строений - мусор здесь присутствует постоянно. Да и вообще место неухоженное, а жаль.
(Translated by Google) I’m very upset that the dam was demolished and there is no more water in the warehouses, it’s a pity that the authorities don’t want to improve this place and make it safe, instead they can only destroy historical monuments. When there was water there, it was very beautiful, it was emerald, now it only comes out of iron pipes (very “beautiful”). Is it really impossible to make beautiful taps, clean out warehouses, tighten the top properly, or close it so that people don’t go in there, write warnings, fines, and return the water? This would be just an amazing memorial place if anyone cared about it, it’s a shame. I hope all is not lost yet. (Original) Очень расстроена что снесли плотину и больше нет воды в складах, жаль что власти не хотят облагораживать это место и делать его безопасным,вместо этого они могут только рушить исторические памятники. Когда там была вода- было очень красиво, она была изумрудной, сейчас она бьёт только из железных трубок( очень" красиво"). Неужели нельзя сделать красивые краны, очистить склады, перетянуть по-нормальному верх,либо закрыть его, чтобы люди не лезли туда, предупреждения написать, штрафы и вернуть воду? Это было бы просто потрясающее памятное место еслиб до него было бы кому нибудь дело, очень жаль. Надеюсь еще не все потеряно.
(Translated by Google) It used to be better when there was a dam and everyone could swim and bathe, but now, even though the source has been put into a pipe, a stream still flows here and there. There is a lot of garbage (Original) Раньше было лучше, когда стояла плотина и все могли плавать и купаться, сейчас хоть и убрали источник в трубу, но то тут, то там ручей течёт. Мусора очень много
(Translated by Google) Paramonovsky warehouses are a complex of warehouse buildings of the 19th century in Rostov-on-Don. Located on the banks of the Don, between Sokolov Avenue and Universitetsky Lane. Monument of federal significance. The oldest building of the Paramonov warehouses was built in the mid-19th century, the last - in the late 1890s. The warehouses were built by engineers Yakunin and E. Shulman. During their existence, the warehouses belonged to different owners and companies, but city rumor still attributes them to one owner, the famous grain industrialist Elpidifor Paramonov. The warehouses miraculously survived the bombing of the port during the Great Patriotic War. Although one aerial bomb did hit here, disrupting the water cooling system. The warehouses suffered the most significant destruction during the era of their ownerless existence. The warehouses alone survived at least five fires. During the last years of the USSR, warehouses were used for their intended purpose, cement, building materials, etc. were stored in them. In 1985, the Paramon warehouses were given the status of a historical and cultural monument of local significance. A little later, the historical building received the status of a monument of federal significance. (Original) Парамоновские склады — комплекс складских сооружений XIX века в Ростове-на-Дону. Расположены на берегу Дона, между проспектом Соколова и Университетским переулком. Памятник федерального значения. Самый старый корпус Парамоновских складов построен в середине XIX века, последний — в конце 1890-х годов. Строили склады инженеры Якунин и Э. Шульман. За время своего существования склады принадлежали разным владельцам и фирмам, но городская молва до сих пор приписывает их одному хозяину, знаменитому зернопромышленнику Елпидифору Парамонову. Склады чудом уцелели во время бомбардировок порта времён Великой Отечественной войны. Хотя одна авиабомба всё-таки сюда попала, нарушив систему водоохлаждения. Наиболее существенным разрушениям склады подверглись в эпоху их бесхозного существования. Одних только пожаров склады пережили не менее пяти. В период последних лет СССР склады использовались по прямому назначению, в них хранили цемент, стройматериалы и пр. В 1985 году Парамоновским складам был присвоен статус памятника истории и культуры местного значения. Чуть позднее историческая постройка получила статус памятника федерального значения.
(Translated by Google) Former warehouses, which until recently were illegal swimming pools. During construction, the architects used springs around the warehouses for natural cooling. Ice water running around the buildings made it possible to maintain a constant temperature of 5-7 degrees. During the Second World War, bombs hit the warehouses, the system was disrupted and the warehouses were flooded, turning them into natural pools with icy, crystal-clear water. However, recently it was decided to drain them and now they are just photogenic ruins that no one is taking care of, which is a pity. (Original) Бывшие складские помещения, которые ещё недавно были нелегальными бассейнами. При строительстве, архитекторы использовали родники вокруг складов для естественного охлаждения. Ледяная вода, бегущая вокруг строений, позволяла поддерживать постоянную температуру в 5-7 градусов. Во время ВОВ в склады попали бомбы, система была нарушена и склады затопило, сделав из них естественные бассейны с ледяной, кристально-чистой водой. Впрочем, недавно их решено было осушить и сейчас это просто фотогеничные развалины, которыми никто не занимается, а жаль.
(Translated by Google) Interesting place with history. Object of cultural heritage of federal significance, etc. But it is in a deplorable state: ruins, garbage, destruction. But even in this form it looks bomb) springs with a constant temperature flow all year round (this feature was previously used to maintain the correct temperature for storing grain). (Original) Интересное место с историей. Объект культурного наследия федерального значения и т.д. Но находится в плачевном состоянии: руины, мусор, разрушение. Но даже в таком виде выглядит бомбически) круглый год бьют родники с постоянной температурой (эта особенность использовалась раньше для поддержания правильной температуры для хранения зерна).
(Translated by Google) Cool abandoned place. Spring water flows, in which you can swim and, almost, drink. Locals say that it cures all ailments :) They even collect grass there for food... (Original) Прикольная заброшка. Течёт ключевая водица, в которой можно купаться и, чуть ли, не пить. Местные говорят, что лечит от всех хворей :) Даже траву там собирают в пищу...
(Translated by Google) Paramons are beautiful at any time of the year! But it’s time to put them in order 😔 they are dying slowly and quietly. More and more graffiti and trash... (Original) Парамоны прекрасны в любое время года! Но пора бы уже привести их в порядок 😔 они медленно и тихо умирают. Все больше граффити и мусора...

One of the most attractive places in the city, beautiful view from the top Ferris Wheel
Decent view point High quality Ferris wheel. at the heart of the city amidst noisy place. I find that it is lack of something
A must visit spot in Rostov as you can see all the city from above. I would recommend a day visit.
A great thing to do if in Rostov. Spectacular views, comfortable, warm in winter and cool in summer, the park is an awesome place, too, with a lot of other options to have some and a good meal. Highly recommended.
This is so nice but little bit slow
Highly recommended if you're too spend just couple days in the city. Gives great overview of the city skyline.
It's a great place for walking, it has place for table tennis, ice skating and a pitch for football.
Overview of the whole city of Rostov-on-Don which is provided for a pretty adorable price. Note: try it on a sunny clear day
