Beatles Monument
Rather bizarrely there is a bronze monument to the Beatles within the amusement park. John Lennon is sitting on a bench playing guitar with the others standing behind so you can get your Insta-seflfie with the “Fab Four” if you so desire.
The sculpture was added to the mountain in 2007 as part of the National Music Awards ceremony.
Zoo
There is a small “zoo” which is basically a few caged birds where you can buy food and feed the animals. Avoid.
Souvenir Shops
There is a parade of souvenir shops selling postcards and traditional Kazakh gifts and clothing as well as the usual tourist tat you can find anywhere in the city.
