Dvorets Pionerov (Palace of Pioneers) park was originally designed as a place of memorial for the fallen WWII soldiers. Its square is 22 hectares (2,368,060.29 sq feet) and perimeter approximately 1.8 km. The project of the park was conceived in 1968 to be officially open for public in 1974. The territory is divided by several alleys, the main one being the Alley of Glory whose trees were planted back in the days by WWII veterans, acclaimed school teachers and pioneers themselves. The main building of Dvorets Pionerov is to this day a home for various children's extra curricular activities and classes. The park is located in a residential area of Kirov and is visited by thousands kids and parents daily. Its favored by local runners and hosts sport events such as X-Kirov Cup bicycle race.

The construction of the church began in 1714 and was completed in 1723. This is a unique piece of stone architecture of XVIII, not very common for the area during the reign of Peter the Great. In late 1960s, the Soviet state appropriated the building as a local planetarium. In 1994 it was returned to the Russian Orthodox Diocese.

"I was invited by a friend of mine to check it out and was pleasantly surprised. The 1st band I saw there was Shakers - these guys got half of the audience on their feet dancing by the end of the evening. The music was american rock-n-roll of 50s performed by the very energetic front man Roman. I cam..."e here again on my other visit and caught yet another beautiful band El Tango. Was thoroughly impressed by the singer's voice and performance. As far as I remember, they have live music every night except Thursdays, but do call to verify just in case. Also, the place is located on the historic and beautiful Spasskaya Street, close to at least 2 museums, a theater and a number of great restaurants. Highly recommended.

"I love this place and come here during my every visit although not so much for its theater value. It's one of the biggest landmarks of the city and a great example of the soviet architecture (full name "Кировский областной ордена Трудового Красного Знамени драматический театр им. С.М. Кирова"). Loc..."al troupe plays are about $5 a ticket and from what I have seen so far, they are seriously underwhelming (1 point off for that). But they do get touring productions from Moscow and other cities and they often host various events and exhibits. Definitely worth checking out.

"Talked to the owner of the place while getting into the gear - he happened to have been a pro race car driver and, to my surprise, used to live in New York at some point. Anyway, that was a nice day of Fall, however with a light drizzle and we were a bit hung over. I though it was gonna be too messy..." to race splashing through the puddles of water but it only ended up more fun. Also, this place is a very short drive from Kirov off Sovetsky Trakt and there's a BBQ cafe nearby. Will be happy to return.
