**★★★★★ Tanya Tan — 2 years ago
We went to the Saka Archaeological Museum for the ethnofestival. Buses from the Almaty 1 train station and other points in the city were provided by the Akimat. It was just 15 minutes from Almaty 1 train station and we were there. Admission was free. There was a wide selection of national-style goods: jewelry, toys, and tableware. We also had some spectacular events. We really enjoyed everything.

Free admission! The area before the reserve, the entire parking lot is covered in cigarette butts and bottles. I lowered my rating only because of this. The area is 430 hectares, where 47 burial mounds are located. They date back to the Zheleznov century! In the steppe, the burial mounds served as a warning system: a fire on top of a burial mound could be seen for many kilometers. The burial mounds are a single ensemble, they are built into a certain system that scientists have not yet deciphere

Abandoned, hard to find. Probably only worth seeing in the summer during the festival.
