Simply you have to go and see the place. The prison of those who have killed thousands. Thank you Mr. Viliumas for bringing the chance and opportunity for the future generations to know what was happening in the not far past! More

It is not called Stalin World but Grutas Park. It has lots of soviet era statues. It is interesting to wander around and see the numerous statues of Soviet "heros". The descriptions of the people are quite balanced. The cafe here is very good as well. More

This trip was an Eastern European History class of about a dozen 18-24-yr-old students, 2 history professors, a language professor, and 3 older adults (who were not taking the course for credit). What an experience! Grutas Park remains in memory as one of the highlights of the trip because of the stern Soviet statues placed among the pine trees along... More

Nice place... More

The place is AMAZING. It has a random Zoo thrown in, but other than that you must eat at the nostalgic restaurant the food is spot on what they ate back in the day, read where the statues came from and go into the wooden houses filled with incredible paraphernalia, a hugely significant place. More

As a lover of history, and the Cold War in particular, I suppose I was always going to adore this place ! Masses of Soviet era staues and paraphenalia set in woodland walks and small buildings I adored the whole experience. The wooden hut(s) full of soviet posters, books, phones, teleprinters, political paraphenalia etc were fascinating. The outdoor statues all... More
