Parks in Yerevan

Yerevan has everything from small landscaped parks in Kentron to large recreation areas, gardens, amusement parks and viewpoints beyond the city center. For a short walk near the main sights, choose Yerevan 2800th Anniversary Park, Lovers’ Park, Saryan Park or English Park. For city views and history, Victory Park and the Mother Armenia monument are the strongest choice.

Families can spend several hours at Yerevan Park, Yerevan Zoo, Water World, the Children’s Railway or Yeraz Park, while the Botanical Garden and Tumanyan Park are better for shade, picnics and a quieter break. Most central parks are free; amusement parks and family attractions charge admission or separate activity fees. Check current opening hours and prices before visiting.
