Aquarium garden, Cultural heritage park in Presnensky District, Moscow, Russia.
The Aquarium garden is a landscaped park in Presnensky District with manicured paths, open lawns, and mature trees providing shade. The space consists of several interconnected areas with varied garden features and seating zones throughout.
This park was established in 1893 as public recreation space during the transformation of Presnensky District from royal properties into urban neighborhoods. It became one of Moscow's early public gardens created for the expanding city population.
The garden reflects how Moscow has historically designed public green spaces, with open areas where people naturally gather and rest. Walking through, you notice how the layout encourages daily use as a neighborhood meeting place rather than a tourist attraction.
You can reach the park from several entry points around its perimeter, with the nearby Kievskaya and Vystavochnaya metro stations providing easy access. Spring through autumn offers the most pleasant conditions with full vegetation and dry pathways.
Several architectural elements from the late 1800s remain visible throughout the park, showing how it was originally designed. These preserved features let visitors see the garden style that shaped Moscow's earliest public parks.
