Kok-Tobe Almaty Hotel

I expected something a bit different, a place more closely arranged naturally, but instead it was pretty agitated.

Up until the 1960s, the Kok Tobe mountain was originally called Verigin. Before the Soviet Union, the hill was a favorite spot for the inhabitants of the city. During the Summer, the civilians organized May Day celebrations. In winter, it was a popular spot for skiing and sledding. Verny merchants called the mountain "Blue Hill", a name believed to originate back to medieval times.
During the 1960s, the Ministry of Communications of the Republic issued the initiative of constructing a television broadcasting tower that would reach the whole of Kazakhstan. In 1975, the design of a new Almaty TV tower began. The project involved building a broadcasting tower that would provide coverage throughout Kazakhstan as well as become a notable monument that would be visible throughout the whole of the city.
Engineers chose the Verigina mountain (Kok Tobe) as its location on account of high altitude (1130 meters above sea level; ~200 meters above the city). The high altitude helped the tower provide better coverage throughout the area. When designing the tower, an agreement was concluded together with the Moscow Institute of Central Research Institute of Cryogenics. The architects chosen for the project were N. G. Terziev, A. N. Savchenko and N. K. Akimov. The construction budget was 600 million rubles. The funds were allocated by the State Planning Committee of the USSR.
One of the biggest problems in the construction of the television tower was the loose soil in the area.

Adventure park, good palace for kids and adults both, it's take 4-5 hr approx to cover whole area.

A wonderful park in Almaty located uphill. There is an activity for every kind of person. Restaurant and cafe for food and drink. A beautiful scenery for simply sit and watch. Fast roaster for adrenaline. Zoopark and many activities for children.
You can enter park by car, by gondola from city center, or by bus from park entrance.

Wonderful view of the city and mountains, sunset is a suggested time to visit in my opinion. Nice place to come with family and kids, there are lots of things children can do and there's activities for adults too like a cablecar, rollercoaster, ferris wheel, zoo, etc. Nice restaurants is also there.
