Insider tips

Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes to navigate the paved paths and metal surfaces of the exhibits.

Bring binoculars if you plan to view the ships navigating the Volga River from the park's edge.

Check the local weather forecast, as the riverfront location is fully exposed to sun and wind with very little natural shade.

What to avoid

Do not visit during heavy rain or high winds, as the riverside location offers no shelter and becomes slippery.

Etiquette

Avoid climbing on the military vehicles, as they are designated historical exhibits, and respect the solemn nature of the memorial spaces.
