4+With childrenAn open-air museum of cottages, windmills and space: the best place on our list for small children.wheelchairStep-free accessThe museum — partly. Unpaved paths, sloping in places; passable by wheelchair in dry weather, not after rain.
Getting there — not checked. The Kyiv metro is barely adapted for wheelchairs. We have not checked access during martial law.half a day
An open-air museum on 133 hectares, founded on 6 February 1969: about 300 monuments of folk architecture from every historical region of Ukraine.
Good to know. You cannot see it all at once: allow half a day and comfortable shoes.
What to see
Wooden churches of the 18th century, the windmills of Polissia and the Dnieper region, cottages with their original furnishings. The grounds are divided by region — the Carpathians, Poltava, Podillia, Polissia, the South.
Minimum route — half a day на самое важное
Walk at least two of the regions: Polissia with its windmills and the Dnieper region with its 18th-century wooden churches. Go inside the cottages — the furnishings are original.
