Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Лиза П1 contributionIt is one of the best places I have visited in the city. Despite the overclowd, I really liked the place because it is a wonderful showplace to come with a family or friends . There are many cafes with tasty food and kind staff. Moreover, the landscapes are picturesque and lovely. More than that, people of the city are very responsive and friendly.
This place is definitely worth a visit.Written 12 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Animals are really friendly and funny. You can buy some food and feed them here.
P.S. But be careful with goats. They really like eating, so they can run after you to get some food.Written 8 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PavelfromBLRBelarus1 contributionWe are from Belarus. Found this place via Internet with very excellent reviews. GalileoPark is located on the 3rd floor of Indigo mall which is not difficult to reach.
The place is full of enginering devices, exgibits and unusual rooms. We spent there two hours and felt special experience. Trully entertaining.
Must see if you are in Nizhny.Written 28 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Takes around 14 minutes to reach the other side. Most people rejoined the queue and made the regurn trip. Well worth it.Written 3 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Eva JMoscow, Russia2,657 contributionsI'm not a fan of the exterior color, but the inside of this church is beautiful. Wood iconostases. Beautiful painting all over the interior.Written 16 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alexander_KudrinSamara, Russia13,701 contributionsThe Christmas or Stroganov Orthodox Church is one of my favorites not only in Nizhny Novgorod, but also in Russia. The combination of pink walls and white stone carvings looks very elegant. The highlight of the church is that the heads of the temple at the end of the 19th century, they were painted like the heads of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. The chapters were originally green. Windows, portals of entrances, additional columns are decorated with white stone carvings. Definitely worth a visit.Written 26 April 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Alexander_KudrinSamara, Russia13,701 contributionsA large ancient monastery located almost near the river. The territory is fenced with a high wall. First you get to the alley, to the right of which is the alley of the Romanovs, where there are busts of representatives of this last royal dynasty.
Ahead you see the impressive Ascension Cathedral.
I was here in the winter and moved along the narrow cleared paths. The monastery cemetery was covered with snow.
The cathedral was closed, but going up the stairs through the passage I got to the Assumption Church. It is very beautiful, with stunning wall murals.
In the neighboring building - the bishops' building, there is a church and archaeological museum.
Definitely worth a visit!Written 28 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
