Great place for family trip or team buildings. Lots of activities and places for visit. Great ethnographic and historical exposition. Founders have payed really great attention to history of Belarus. I'd like to say that Soula is 'must visit' place for everyone who is interested in our history.
I've been here 3 times, so I can safely recommend it. It is original and interactive in comparison with almost any historical place in Belarus. You can plan a trip for half or for the whole day. The disadvantage is that if you do not buy a tour, but simply pay for an entrance ticket (35p), then the last time you refused various kinds of interactive services (for example, to mark knives). Although on the first trip it was allowed and the staff themselves touted. For this, a minus star. Otherwise, if someone needs to show Belarus, then I would start from this place. If you subscribe to the park's Instagram, you will get a 10% discount at the entrance. The cafe is themed classic "agricultural", nothing unusual. The third time we brought a blanket with us and had a picnic in the shade of a tree on the lawn. If there are difficulties with the car, then there is a schedule of transport from Minsk on the park's website.
I thought about 3 or 4 for a long time, I put 4, after all, a lot of work has been done to create a park.
Pros: atmospheric, there is something to see, colorful costumes, in the zones they tell about the object or the zone they came to. You can immerse yourself in the everyday life and atmosphere of different times, it is clear that this is not 100% historically true somewhere, but for general understanding, I think it is worthy. The guide (I'm sorry, I didn't remember the name) at the Lensky estate, it's just like a landmark itself, it's so interesting, some people cried, how sincerely and with what love she tells how she treats visitors, take care of her. Be sure to come and listen, the room is small for expositions, but believe me, you will plunge into this amazing genus from her story.
There are a lot of young people as guides, all friendly, smiling, for the most part.
Large parking is also a plus.
Minuses: what I didn't like, when buying tickets at the box office, it seems like not yet on the territory, a woman speaks to you in a rather dry manner and only in Belarusian, if you start to clarify something, there is one answer, look in the booklet, open the booklet, everything is also in Belarusian. I don't speak Belarusian. I understand that this is the territory of the Belarusian language, but the booklet could be made in several languages, given that most of the visitors there are Russian speakers. On the sightseeing tour, they asked, everyone understands, there were no answers, to which they answered, well then we will speak more slowly, apparently they think that this should help in understanding the information))
It's just a task, I thought, to tell more people about the beautiful culture. It would be possible to make information booklets or audio guides in other languages. As a result, we just walked around, looked and left, there was no desire to stay longer, because there was no point in it, nothing is clear for the most part. A blurred impression. In other places, this has not been seen in the Republic of Belarus.
We chose this place by chance and were delighted. I liked everything! The huge territory is a museum, where there is an opportunity not only to walk but also to stay overnight. When you get to the park, it feels like you are transported to another era (my son said that we got into a computer game). There are 3 restaurants on site, the dishes are delicious (although they are open only until 21:00). There are no shops on the territory, so you can't buy cigarettes or water in the evening. You can also go fishing in the park, but only your own gear, there is no rent. Be sure to visit this place.
A great museum! It is a large territory that contains different eras from the history of Belarus. It all starts with a dragonboat ride. And then, gradually moving between authentic and new-fashioned buildings, you go through the history. Many aspects of life and everyday life are covered - there is a count's house with a tomb, peasant huts, city buildings, and even a royal castle with a throne room, a kind of Belarusian Ethno-world.
Yes, we must be prepared that all the guides and caretakers speak Belarusian. It's fun, but when you don't understand a lot of words, you lose the narrative idea. I think that the guide could offer the group the language of the tour to choose from.
Russian Russian was seen on YouTube by the owner of Sula, who was talking in Russian with the guide of the Lensky house, a former Russian language teacher (!), who persistently answered in Belarusian. As a skill and pride for your people -super! In the case of business and audience reach, it's so-so..
even without a guide, just walking through and watching everything will easily take several hours.
There are several cafes on site. But you can also use your own, there is a place to settle down.
At the starkey museum, you can look at the process of its manufacture, walk through the cellars with barrels and then come for a tasting. I was driving, so I passed by, but the fellow travelers didn't like it - it was too harsh.
We went to the bakery and the bread was excellent. The beekeeper's house is interesting.
Another mysterious place is the Museum of Freemasonry. If you look, there are only Jews around...
If you read to the end and think about going or not, the answer is definitely to go!
A wonderful place where everyone should go. There are a lot of interesting historical locations, houses: bakery, pharmacy, weaving, etc. There is a hotel and a cafe on the territory. This is the place where the line between the past and the present is blurred. Riding on horse-drawn carriages, drakkars. The disadvantage is huge that tour groups, although they arrive at the time approved by the program, stand and wait for their studies to get to the park for an hour or more. The organizers should consider entertaining the guests while they are waiting for the tour to begin. You can also conduct some kind of interactive, tell the story of the creation of the park or something else, so as not to stand on the road for an hour and wait.
Everything is great, I really liked everything. Everything is well organized. We bought local bread that is baked there (very tasty). Local honey was purchased. There are many thematic locations.
The children and my wife liked it very much. Me too))). There is a small beach. A boat of the rook type walks (does not swim) in the water area. We walked for 5 hours. The excellent staff is polite and courteous. I advise you to visit.
Great.We had a great time (3-4 hours).A little Pipe is much better.and the infrastructure is excellent - toilets.There is also an interactive cafe, and you can listen to small interesting lectures.the entire interior of the park is very beautiful, the buildings and the landscape.They tell the story initially in Belarusian, but they easily switch to Russian.there are different animals that can be cuddled - horses, donkeys and goats.in general, a great place, worth the money, I recommend it!
A unique place to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of ancient Slavic settlements. Lots of locations, amazing staff. It is best, of course, to get to some kind of holiday, because there are a lot of interesting interactivity. It will be interesting for both adults and children. There are several cafes, but the price tag is quite high. In general, thanks a lot to everyone who creates and maintains this atmosphere!
It is a very atmospheric place where you can "plunge into the history" of Belarus. There are very diverse corners - buildings from different eras of the formation of the Belarusian territory, in each of them the guide will tell the story competently in purely Belarusian, the expositions are very interesting, you immerse yourself in history and feel like a part of this history. There is a sufficient amount of service on site. Of the disadvantages, parking is too small for everyone.
I really liked the idea of the park, there is something to see in individual museum houses, where they will tell you a little story on the subject. There is a cafe on site, but we haven't tried the food.
Separately, you can ride a dragonboat, walks 1 time in 30 minutes, or shoot an arrow.
There are animals on the territory, an almost touching zoo - goats, horses, a donkey.
I put 4 stars, because the entire park site is open only until 17:30, then everything closes. This is very inconvenient, at least to increase the working time as much as possible. And the second point is the lack of equipped parking.
A great place. A huge area where you can walk, have a delicious meal (fresh bread got into the heart), the price includes travel by britzka, by drakar. Horse riding is available separately.
It is a very beautiful and interesting place, you can take excursions (I think it will be even more interesting with her). If you haven't been, I definitely recommend visiting.
It is better to go in the morning to have time to see everything
It's a wonderful place, we've been here for the first time. It's so comfortable and sincere, I can't put it into words. We rested body and soul. We rented a room for a day in the park, the room had everything you needed. Entrance tickets were included in the room rate. The food is very tasty, we took a set breakfast: very satisfying, delicious, you can lick your fingers, for dinner and lunch we took food from the menu according to their preferences. Honestly, for me, this is a place of strength, during these days, my battery has fully charged.
We will definitely come back. Thank you for the tremendous work to restore this place, a huge amount of money, effort, and labor has been invested. I advise everyone to visit and experience the energy of this place.
Many thanks to the creators and the entire team of the complex, for your work and contribution!
There were 2 days. With overnight accommodation. The room is clean and cozy. The territory is well maintained! There are friendly guides at each location! In the evening, the disco was unexpected)))
Champagne with cranberries for breakfast is a great start to the day))
There are still very few people in the morning, you can enjoy the silence and birdsong on a walk!
Rested body and soul!
Vyaliki dzyakui!
Abavyazkova let's go back❤
An interesting place, you can count on a whole day of leisurely exploration of the territory, a lot of benches to relax, separate themed houses, inside of which there is a caretaker who will be happy to tell you historical facts and tell you about the objects of the exposition, this is in case you fail to take an excursion. There is a unique opportunity to listen to the sound of the only working copy of the physical harmony in the country, believe me, you will be surprised! A horse-drawn carriage and a chaise on which you can make a circle and feel all the delights of traveling at that time, a post office from where you can send a postcard anywhere in the world. There will be a lot of impressions, I really liked that the place is designed for visits with children, there is a playground, a batley performance to watch, participate in forging an arrowhead, a local koval will tell the subtleties of his craft. There is a place to eat and the price of an adult ticket includes a tasting of a local strong drink, which can be purchased as a souvenir.
I liked the fact that the guide conducts a mini-tour in each visited building. I especially liked Irina from the Collegium. She told me interesting facts and laughed together.
Large territory, beautiful buildings.
A very big minus (it's a pity for the workers)-everywhere the halls are heated mainly by bourgeois, and even then if you are nearby.
The girl from M. Berazovich's store was the most lucky-the room is small, made of wood and there is a full-fledged oven.
It is colder in every room than on the street-stone buildings. It is necessary to go on a warm day. We arrived by bus, which runs from Minsk 2 times a day.
One of the best places in Belarus. There is a huge territory, a lot of artisan houses, in some you can buy something, for example, fresh bread or something made of clay. You can swim on the drakar, ride a horse-drawn horse, taste the tincture. There are several eateries and a playground. And our favorite is to feed the goats with grass. Holidays are often held in the park, today we got to the day of knowledge, and last summer on Ivan Kupala, then it was possible to weave a wreath and throw it into the water, jump over a bonfire, dance around. I like that the park is developing, the Mindouga Castle is almost completed, you can already walk around the halls there, and something new is already being built. There are guided tours, interesting ones based on the excerpts we heard, but we always go on our own.
An atmospheric historical park, the entrance is expensive (35 Br), but for this money, a visit to the entire complex and field trips by costumed guides. There are several cafes and restaurants on site, horse riding and dragon riding. Various master classes are held (calligraphy, pottery, drying, weaving, etc.). I definitely recommend you to visit.
This place is very original and unusual. It was built and organized with the soul and love for the native land, "rodnai mov", which is spoken by all the staff of the principality, with respect for the traditions and history of the Belarusian people. We explored every corner of Sula with great delight, easily immersing ourselves in the idea of the author of the project. I especially liked the Kupala Traditions program (June 30, 2024). It was very hot weather and at the same time everyone was involved in folk festivals, wreath-making, contests and games.
Seeing photos and videos on Instagram, upon arrival we were impressed by the scale of the project and were not disappointed. This is not to be found in Belarus) We took away very warm and good impressions with us. Thanks to those who take care of this place and give it such an interesting and eventful life!
It's a very cool place. For lovers of historical sites, this is the very thing. Meya really liked the fantastic ships (you can even sail on them) and, of course, the witch's house. There is a restaurant, a hotel, houses for "spending the night", a pharmacy, a theater, you can get a coupon at the entrance, and try starka for free.
At each position there is a kind of guide who will tell you in Belarusian, and maybe even show you different stories.
In general, you can talk a lot, but it's better to see once than to "read" a hundred times
Sula is beyond praise! There is so much history of Belarus in one place! A huge amount of interactive content! You can go as an excursion, or you can go on your own. They will tell you everything, show you, let you hold it, do it. And all on the Belarusian move! Thanks!
There was not enough barrier-free environment: if a child is in a stroller, then it is very difficult to carry him. Plus, it is impossible to enter any buildings at all.
I would also like to be able to just visit the restaurant without an entrance ticket for the entire park. To come just to have a delicious meal, without a tour, etc.
After all, the food is so delicious that you can lick your fingers and eat, and everything that was taken was insanely delicious!
And bigos, and flasks, and draniki, and pancakes, and soup for the kids!
Sooooo delicious dark bread and local beer!!
The place is very cool, the whole family is brave for the day!
I will come for an interactive program again
A very cool place, we went 2 times and I am 300% sure that we will come more than once. Various kinds of events are often held, and there are many historical locations in the park. Cafes, shops, bakery, distillery where you can buy a single burner), stable... there are a lot of expositions, you can swim on the drakar. You can't tell everything, it's better to visit, if you like historical places and castles, and even with the opportunity to participate in events of the past days, you definitely come here. You will not regret it, the main thing is to arrive early, around 11 o'clock in order to be able to visit everywhere and see everything.
A very interesting open-air museum. A huge number of locations. I think it will be interesting for both children and adults.
We ordered an excursion from the Viapol tour operator and it included: a meeting in Belarusian in historical costumes, a ride on a dragon. I liked that each character was taken from one location and led to his own, telling about it along the way. The stories are very well organized and the presentation by each of the performers is interesting. We also visited the smithy, at the potter's, talked about the formation of law, the Belarusian language, Slavic languages, education, listened to the harpsichord playing "live", tasted a traditional strong drink, then we were deliciously and nutritiously fed (there are several places of food). You can ride the only horse-drawn railway, visit the herbalist witch, the Lensky Museum. It's hard to describe everything, but I advise everyone who comes to Minsk to come here. Thank you for an interesting day and a warm attitude!!!
One of the most memorable and impressive places in the Republic of Belarus.
A gorgeous castle. Own bread according to the old recipe.
A huge territory.
There was a guided tour in each house. I learned the history of the Belarusian and Russian languages.
There is an opportunity to ride a horse-drawn horse. To dance an ancient dance. To see how the arrowheads were forged. Wine tasting.
Several different cafes with delicious food.
There is a large parking lot at the entrance, but unpaved, keep this in mind in the rain. We were lucky the weather was hot.
I was here for the first time in October, I will definitely bring the children here - where else can I tell them about the history of the country, the Homeland of their ancestors, in an accessible and interesting way? To be honest, the day was not enough to visit all the locations! Helpful staff, friendly and loving their work. The place itself is very picturesque, both in terms of nature and content. It is better to arrive no later than one o'clock in the afternoon - so that you can get on the tour. Or better yet, early - to go everywhere. We didn't have time to take a ride on the ship - we will definitely return.
I had a chance to go on an excursion to Sula thanks to my work. The Grand Duchy of Sula History Park is the first interactive history park in Belarus. The complex is a museum where visitors can immerse themselves in the chronological history of the region, historical sites, nature and beautiful buildings.
Having visited this unique place in Belarus, where, walking along the main road, you can visit the world of ancient Belarusian cults, visiting the Varangians, during the Middle Ages and gentry and in the Lensky family estate. This is a kind of time machine. You can have lunch and drink hot tea in nature. Go horseback riding. Sailing on an exact replica of a Viking warship – a dragon boat, visiting parking lots, craft workshops, Viking training and entertainment!
Sulu is visited by many tourists, so there are a lot of people. The place is very interesting, I recommend visiting it. But still, probably for adults, young children will not understand yet.
A very interesting and beautiful place)) the guides at each location are very hospitable. In general, all information in the park is in Belarusian, but when we said that we only understand Russian, everyone started speaking it. And those who did not know Russian spoke more slowly and tried to explain words to us that we did not understand as best they could. It was very pleasant)) I highly recommend buying bread from a local bakery and trying the local tincture))
Thanks to the organizer for this ethnopark! The Museum of Istria of Belarusians-Litvinov is open-air and in buildings corresponding to different historical eras. The guides are all well done! Erudite and loving their work! Communication in the Belarusian language is a pleasant surprise!!! Special thanks for the tour of the Lensky house and the performer on the organ harmonica!!!.
A great place! I've been there more than 3 times. The park is extensive, everyone will find a corner to their liking. There are restaurants, a hotel, a spa area, a diverse exposition, a horse-drawn railway, a distillery, many gazebos.
Of the minuses, the last time, on Kupala night, there were more people than the park is able to accommodate. It would be possible to think of a second entrance.
A wonderful place! Incredibly interesting excursions. Interactive! Tasting! We were part of a large tour group, but despite this it was very comfortable. It is interesting to tell in Belarusian, but if you ask, they can also tell in Russian. Some combined the language - it's very cool. I liked everything!
A great place, clean, tidy, interesting, picturesque. There are excursions, reconstructions of historical handicraft workshops (forge, clay), schools, breweries, etc. The masters/actors will cooperate with the visitors of the museum. From ancient society to the Middle Ages, the interest is exciting. As a cult of leisure and education, you can visit.
An amazing storyteller place, beautiful, there is something to do: master classes, many locations, a rook, there is a place to eat and have a snack. A lot of positive emotions and cool photos are provided for you. The children were delighted with the goats)))
If you signed up for Instagram there was a discount, parking nearby is large 👍
A beautiful park, although, of course, in most of the new buildings. But there are, of course, genuine antiques.
Ride a horse-drawn horse, touch a stone with your zodiac and recharge your energy, try a tincture, take a boat ride around an island with a fortress, try yourself throwing an axe, try how wool felted things used to be made, visit a blacksmith shop, eat in one of the restaurants.
In general, there is something for everyone to do.
Color is added by excursions in Belarusian, which seem to take place every hour. And almost all the staff speaks Belarusian.
The only drawback is parking. You can say that in the field. It's probably a little dirty in the off-season.
The Grand Duchy of Sula. The History Park.
A place that is definitely worth a visit. But there are a few nuances:
1. You can only get there by one bus in the summer on Saturday and Sunday from the Yugo-Zapadnaya station at 7.40 there, at 15.35 back. There are no more flights. And so it is with all the sights.
2. The park is divided into tour groups, I counted more than 10 large buses. The price of the tour in the area of 4500 Russian rubles (150 bel.rub.) per person, which is expensive even for Peter.
3. Also very expensive food. We managed to find an uncooked chicken leg with cabbage salad and kvass for 30 bel.rub. (about 900 rubles). And this is the cheapest dish.
4. All the interactive content is in Belarusian, which is difficult for guests from Russia to understand.
A great park to visit with children! Goats walk on the playground, children feed them with grass picked right there, you can ride a cart with a horse, swim on a ship, all this is included in the ticket price. Interesting mini-houses, each with its own theme. Everyone on the territory speaks only Belarusian. It's a very atmospheric place. It is not very convenient with a baby stroller, there are a lot of paving stones, but in general it is tolerable.
A beautiful place, a stylized village, as it was in the old days, with its own buildings for various purposes, in which small museums are organized. There is also a potter making clay, a blacksmith forging iron, his own bakery, a watermill. You can ride an old drakar (a large boat), a horse-drawn tram. They treat you to alcohol (vodka) with pickled cucumber. There are places to walk, benches, beach, sun beds, chairs.
This historical park is definitely worth a visit! The history of Belarus in entertainment locations, where costumed guides will tell each their own milestone in the history of the principality. Everyday life, ceremonies, politics, treatment, mail.... It can take a long time to list, but it's better to see with your own eyes. You can devote a whole day. It is 60-70 km from Minsk. An amazing place!
I really liked the park. We bought a ticket at the entrance, put on a bracelet and went for a walk. Clean, green. Everywhere specially trained people tell the story of the settlement. If you want it in Belarusian, you want it in Russian. They answer questions with pleasure, and not by memorized text. And how proud they are of the history of the estate....how to collect information by grains, recreate everyday life.... It's fascinating. They showed the tools that were used in making linen fabrics, a pharmacy, a bee hive in a section, a post office with a sleeping, possibly drunken driver. It was the first time I heard and saw the harpsichord and learned its history. And what a well-groomed donkey was eating juicy grass there))). I will definitely come here some day.
I must say right away that this is not a historical place. But this is no less interesting. It was interesting for all ages, both at 40 and at 17 and at the age of one. The price, of course, is not budget, but it's worth it. The price includes a boat trip, a glass of starkey, excursions and, like, a horse-drawn carriage, but this is not accurate. I was impressed by the number of toilets. A lot. Cleanliness, friendly staff. The food is only in the restaurant, there are at least 4 of them, maybe more. The prices are different. Budget-friendly only. You can buy bread from the oven (7p), herbs, honey, flour, ceramics. For kids, you can feed and pet the goats. And there is a playground. Keep in mind that once in a while a cannon is firing there, you can watch, but children may be scared by the sound. There are several hotels, you can stay overnight.
One of the disadvantages is the road. The car should be good)
Sula Park is a place that is definitely worth visiting in Belarus! It is located 60 km from Minsk. You can spend a great day here, learn a lot of interesting and useful things 🔥
Sula is the first interactive history park-museum in Belarus. The complex is located in such a way that the main track takes you in chronological order through the events in history.
Walking, you will meet restored and built from scratch buildings that belong to different eras of Belarus. It all starts with the objects of the Stone Age and ends with the Lena family estate - there are only seven separate regions.
You can see cromlechs, a pagan Temple, a Witch's house on chicken legs, a real mill, a pottery museum, a stable museum, a castle and much more!!!
Separately, it is worth noting the attraction, which everyone is delighted with - this is, of course, riding a dragon boat - a real rook.
There is a beach area, gazebos, playgrounds on the territory. You can have a snack or a full meal in one of the restaurants.
The history of the park is as follows: initially there was a Radziwill estate, a little later it will be bought by the Lensky family. After many years, the Belarusian manor of the 18th century will turn into an abandoned place. And it was only in 2004 that its revival began. It took eight years to get to work. And in the spring of 2012, the place received its first guests as the Sula Park.
💵 Entrance ticket prices:
35 bel.rub – adults,
15 bel.rub – school–age children, 30 bel.rub - friends of "Sula" (to become a friend, you need to subscribe to one of the park's social networks),
children under 7 years old - free of charge.
A wonderful natural place for another course in the history of Belarus, culture and people.
Everything goes without excursions in 2 -2.5 hours.
The food area is perfectly made. Good national cuisine and drinks - both Vodka, beer and kvass.
The price tag....well, the price tag is not a catering canteen. The quality is on the level.
We visited with the travel company "Pilgrims". Great, I liked everything. Such a small model of Belarus from the time of the Vikings to the present day. There are many locations, there are non-trivial souvenirs. You can ride a sled, a horse-drawn cart. Send a postcard to yourself or your relatives. Buy baked bread in the same place, tincture, sweets. I advise all tourists, you will not regret it.
The park is very good for walking. The tour is included in the ticket price. There are many interesting sites. The staff is responsive. But it killed the food. Prices are a bit high for dishes made from cheeks, ears, stomachs and chicken hearts. Although everything is for the amateur. A very modest snack for three is 100 rubles.
A wonderful place with a lot of interesting and thoughtful locations for any age. A cafe, a petting zoo, a good entertainment program for children, horseback riding, excellent guides. A place that charges with a good mood
We love Sulu very much, we have been visiting it for 5 years, always with a hotel stay. We managed to visit almost all the houses, and why our chagrin and respectful request to the management: please equip the rooms with refrigerators, since the price for accommodation is actually not small, I would really like, I repeat, to have a refrigerator)) and so everything is great, of course you don't always get to the polite staff, but it doesn't spoil your time ;)
A magical place, a first impression, everything is wonderful, beautiful, interesting. It takes at least a whole day to enjoy all the views, But there are also big disadvantages, the entrance is fine, from an adult 35, from a child 15, a walk on a train that pulls a horse, not only do you need to pay extra, but I do not recommend it to anyone, because there is no safety equipment in the cafe the waiter's life is more than 15 minutes, they pass by and do not see, although the hall was not fully loaded.
A very atmospheric educational place, friendly staff, many thematic sites. I was a little tired of the delay in starting the tour, everyone was running, well, in the end I upset the restaurant, with an incomplete loading of the hall we sat for half an hour and no one paid attention
It's a great place. Very beautiful. You can enter each building, watch, listen to an excursion or buy something (bread in a bakery, pottery in a workshop, tea in a pharmacy, honey from your own apiary in the beekeeper's house). Adults are given a ticket to taste herbal tinctures (tasty, strong - 46 degrees, it is better not to abuse it in the heat - it is easy to drink, it also gives in the head).
The recreated Lensky estate and the museum are also located on the territory.
There are several restaurants and hotels. In general, it is definitely worth a visit.
There are a lot of impressions. It's very interesting, the interactive platforms are super! A cool feature of communicating with visitors on the "native move"! The staff is polite, smiling, and they are not lazy to tell everyone about the presented material! In general, everything is on fire! If you think, "is it worth going?" Definitely worth it!
