Secrets of Underground Odessa Museum

In the museum you will see the anti-nuclear bunker, walk through the waterflood part, visit the wild Catacombs. You can also visit the partisans station, the gangsters stash ,at other Exhibitions.The concept of the general nature of the museum is that - starting from the surface, then, with the deepening of the Catacombs, you sink further and further into the past of the city. Pre-call!

I liked the enthusiasm of the guide. He knows how to communicate with people. The tour was well planned, with tea and cake in the middle of the walk. I was in the Russian group with 20 people although my native language is not Russian. The English tours are more private and expensive and creepy I think, because there are just you and the guide.

Truly a beautiful historical site to visit. The architecture is amazing with Gold guild and refined taste. Go see a show if only to see the building! The opera boxes are such a complement to the music. It really is a gem.

Wow! One of the most frightening experience of my life. I didn't expect it to be that real. The whole idea of the rooms is great, time of the game is perfect - not too short, not too long, and it was even very scary...MoreThank you very much for your feedback. Your opinion is important to us)

Museum of Interesting Science

Museum of Curious Science is the first interactive museum on the South of Ukraine that unites science and entertainment. It contains more than 100 unique showpieces that will demonstrate you that science can be really exciting! Kids and adults have never enjoyed physics, chemistry and other sciences like this before!

Reviewed By Borys B - Kiev, Ukraine

It is rather not a museum but center to popularize sciense among young people. Adults, however can have no less fun than children. You will not just read stickers about exponates under glass but rather touch and play with objects and it can entertain you for hour or two. English signage provided and has better-than-average translation quality.

The building is gorgeous both outside and inside: it easily rivals the Semperopera in Dresden. We attended a ballet performance and our children highly enjoyed it. Tickets are so cheap you should definitely go.

Catacombs of Odessa

Reviewed By Gul C - Ankara, Turkey

Located about a 20 minute drive from Odessa. you cannot go through the Catacombs alone without a guide. There is a local guide there but If you dont know Russian you need to arrange an english speaking guide at the city because walking around the tunnels is not enough if somebody is not explaining you about what you are seeing. As you proceed through the tunnels you start to understand how vast they are. We were told that there was 2500km of underground tunnels. The Catacombs are generally very easy to walk through, having rather low ceilings at certain points. These were used by resistance fighters during World War II. At the end of the tour you go up 4 stories of steps which lead you to a museum where memorabilia from the WWII is displayed. It is quite cool inside the tunnels so take something you can wear to warm you up. This is not a trip for those with claustrophobia.All in all it was an unforgetable experience.

Odessa Delphinarium Nemo

Reviewed By ffrige - Shanghai

Can't quite see how the previous reviewer can claim about the "terrible conditions" in which the animals are kept. We did not notice anything different than any other similar place around the world. The staff are actually very friendly and always smiling. They look like they care a lot about their animals and put up a great show for kids and adults alike. Performance lasts about 45mins, they have three per day at 12:00, 15:00 and 18:00. We could use credit cards to purchase tickets, which was great. We saw that some of the seats are not shaded, depending on the time of your visit, so bring hats and sunscreen!
