Children’s Town

Reviewed By Resort811339 - Ventspils, Latvia

Ventspils is famous for being family-friendly, and this park is a cool example. Interesting activities, a comfortable and large space, well-designed and maintained, it's just a serious effort to encourage active fun. I just wish my granddaughter lived nearby and could have a blast every day! Also, it's a short walk from other family-friendly attractions like an openair museum and the beach.

Irbene Radio Astronomy Center

Reviewed By Reok94

To get into the area where the radio telescopes are make sure you book a tour a few days in advance, we booked via e-mail! A great plus was that the tour was only for our small group! The tour guide was great, he had good English and seemed enthusiastic about the topic which made it more interesting for us! Make sure you ask questions! The guide took us inside one of the old radio telescope's legs whith an exhibition on history and what they are using the telescope's for now, then we had a chance to actually go up to and walk on the parabolic disk, then we went into a tunnel that connected two telescopes and then we took pictures near the working telescope! After the tour was over we went to the derelict city in the forest where they housed the 2000 people (workers and their families) who worked at the site during the Soviet era!
