Astana Botanical Garden
Астана ботаникалық бағы
A large new botanical garden just north of the Expo site, with greenhouses, lakes, and shaded walking paths. It is a favorite place for locals to stroll and picnic.
The botanical garden opened in 2018 and covers about 90 hectares. It grows many trees, shrubs, and flowers from different climate zones in Kazakhstan and around the world. The garden features an artificial lake, glass greenhouses, a children's playground, and cycling paths. It is lively on summer weekends. Entry to the garden is free, though the greenhouses may charge a fee. It lies between Khan Shatyr and the Expo site, so you can combine it with a visit to Nur Alem or Khan Shatyr.
