Samara park

Samara Park is an open-air museum with reconstructed prehistoric dwellings spread across a large site, introducing visitors to human development through archaeological findings. Different areas display how people lived in various periods and developed their techniques.

The park opened in 1988 to present research findings from the region that had been gathered since the 19th century. It was created to make these archaeological discoveries accessible to the public.

The site invites visitors to try ancient crafts like flint knapping, pottery making, and spear throwing, helping them grasp how people lived in prehistoric times. These hands-on activities reveal how people made their tools and interacted with their surroundings.

The site is open from April through October and offers guided tours with explanations and a restaurant serving traditional meals. Spacious parking makes visiting convenient for all types of visitors.

Mediators demonstrate how human techniques evolved over millennia, including prehistoric hunting methods and excavation simulations. Visitors can directly experience the steps that led to our modern abilities.
