I had no idea how cool the place was. People are polite, calm and friendly! There are so many sports people, families with children and the elderly!
And the air is so soft and envelops with hospitality, it's nice.
I will come back here more than once!
We go to Medeo every week. And each time a new location. There are a lot of beautiful places. Gorelnik observation deck, kok Zhailau, on foot to Butakovsky gorge and many other places
Everything is cool. The best skating rink with no options!!! Medeo is Medeo. The aura, the atmosphere, everything is great. There's only a problem with transportation. Please work on it.
It's very cool here. There are many parking lots, a health ladder, a Medeo stadium, a cafe, a cable car and most importantly the Mountains! This is a great place to visit with the whole family, you will not remain indifferent. I recommend it!!!!
the sports complex is not very good, the administration does not treat guests responsibly, the rooms are cold. the dining room is excellent, good workers, excellent food , cheerful and responsible people
A legendary place. It is an almost year-round place of leisure and entertainment.
A picturesque place and a bunch of no less attractions within walking distance and a short trip
It's a very beautiful place. The views are simply gorgeous, of course the prices are greatly inflated, but you can visit once. The coolest thing is that you can get there by public transport in half an hour from the city
We were at the Medeo, in the spring, unfortunately, the skating rink was already closed and we just looked down from the cabin of the funicular, and the mountains were covered in snow, there were a lot of people riding all kinds of winter equipment, it was very beautiful, hot teas, sleet started, we had to leave the medeo, down on the funicular, it was beautiful, and not far from the city on the 12th bus. regularly for half an hour and you are on Medeo,. they say who has not been to the Caucasus, he has not seen the light, I think the same about Medeo!!!!
A super place with magnificent nature. Cool views both in summer and winter. In winter, you can go skiing and snowboarding, and in summer you can just go hiking. However, it is worth considering that climbing mountains is difficult and sometimes scary 😅
You should definitely visit, especially since all conditions have been created for this, including the cable car. A picturesque gorge, a man-made anti-mud dam, created for the first time in the world by directional explosions (this is the USSR!), with 840 steps leading to the crest (a steep test).
The cleanest air in Alma-Ata is very beautiful mountains are very beautiful city I really like to go out on the mountains fresh air is pleasant people who support a healthy lifestyle
There are three levels of climbing the mountain, at each stop there is a place to relax, you can have a snack and drink coffee. Dress warmly, as it can be cool in the mountains even in summer
This is the legendary Medeu. It's a bit expensive to climb to the top, but it's very beautiful. I recommend climbing in winter for maximum enjoyment of what you see. Little Switzerland.
This is generally a historical sports complex. In Soviet times, skaters trained from all over the Union. I love this part of the city. Medeo in the summer also saves an oasis from the hot heat.
I visited the ice rink once and had a lot of fun. There are a lot of fast food around, there are buffets where friendly staff will serve at the highest level. I don't think it's worth renting skates there. If possible, come with your own. why? Because they are so worn out and old that putting them on spoils the anticipation of riding. The only disadvantage is that the staff at the end of the session, almost expel visitors with force. They didn't even give us a good photo, even though we left the rink a long time ago. The staff rudely expelled everyone even though there were foreigners there. I don't know what impression I left with them.
A beautiful place for walking. I definitely recommend this place for tourists! And not far from the city. You can take the cable car up and then walk down, but the road, according to the administrator, will take a couple of hours.
It's very beautiful on Medeo right now.
In any weather, it is peculiar, indescribable beauty.
Our Medeo is getting better and better))
You will not regret if you come to the Medeo Skating Rink with your family or with a group of your friends to admire the mountains and take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
I recommend it to everyone....
There are a lot of people. When the ride ends, there is a light display at the bus stop. This is not the best vacation for the family. In addition, the prices in the cafe remain to do the best. The toilet under the stadium is not bad, but there is a very long queue. Young people can hang out there.
A must-visit. We were at the end of October, the rink was not working, but work was underway to prepare the ice. The elevator didn't work either, we walked, then realized that there was a taxi, well, okay, we took a walk and it was good. We took a lot of photos and videos. We breathed in the fresh mountain air. We walked about 11 km up /down, vertically + 400 meters up and also down. We were satisfied, we will definitely visit again!
There is nowhere to warm up, the cafe is very small and there are few batteries, there is nowhere to dry / warm clothes / shoes for the child. There is a shortage of "dilfinchiki" and "cubs" for children. It is twice as expensive to rent support frames at the rink. In general: there are no conditions for being with kids. And the nature and the place itself are gorgeous, of course.
The Medeu Ice Rink is of course a unique place. But the organization of the rink requires improvement. The number of skaters clearly exceeds the permissible norm (if there is one at all). There are crowds and pandemonium everywhere: rental, toilet, cafe, benches. The rink itself is very unsafe. Skaters of different levels: some drive headlong, others just sit on the ice in the stream. The children's zone is not controlled in any way, not Children go there and drive, creating dangerous moments. You need to get to the children's area by walking along the stream of skaters, which is extremely difficult and unsafe to do on weekends. In general, it is necessary to finalize the rink, and limit the number of skaters on weekends!
Great place!!I skated for 4 hours, rented skates. Everything is very well organized, starting from the purchase of tickets. A skating rink in the mountains is of course great!
I was born and raised in Almaty. All my childhood I went and rode platinum on Medeo. And now the Kazakhs have decided that they will let me into the mountains only for money. To my mountains where I was born. Nasty - greedy. You will not get there by train because your numbers are not Kazakh. Take it and take a taxi for the money. I sometimes forget why I left Kazakhstan - but you always remind me why I don't need to return to this country.
I love "Medeu"! What a Nature and Beauty! Once here, you rest your soul! That's why everyone loves this place! This is one of the most beautiful places in Kazakhstan and not only!
An amazing place! Clean mountain air, clear navigation and everything is available! Coming here and spending the weekend with your family is what you need!
We were on vacation recently, went to the Medeo, walked there, a lot of cafes, walked well, liked it very much, but we must remember the higher the cooler, it's better to take light jackets with you! 🍻
A cool/beautiful place.for a great vacation .they did it civilly / the skating rink is super / the air is clean / there are a lot of places for walking
Nature is always 5+ for me. It's very cool and beautiful upstairs. We sat in the restaurant, it was delicious ! I praise both the cuisine and the service
A beautiful place, the first time I was here 2 years ago, there was a downpour, we did not go upstairs, but this time the weather was great, we went up to Cimbulak, took a walk, ate in yurts)
Once again we visited this gorgeous place for family walks, the eyes want to stay in this beauty! The cost of parking is 500T and this is not for an hour, but for the entire time you were there!
Incredible places!
I always visit medeu in winter, if I find myself in the city. Of course, there were a lot of people.. But if you come straight in the morning, then it's fine. The prices are +- adequate, they take a little everywhere, but there are a lot of these everywhere :)
I recommend
A beautiful place in Almaty, I advise everyone to visit . I advise you to take a lift all the way to the top. Dress warmly, it's hot downstairs and it's cool there
Almaty is a wonderful city. And of course, Medeo is one of its beautiful places, where we always return when we come to visit.
Moreover, if you have time, it is better to go down on foot. This is a separate story and a pleasure.
Of course, not only Medeo, but this whole cable car that lasts hell to the Talgar pass.
A magical place. Many directions of hiking trails to the mountains start from Siad. Of varying complexity. Skating rink, ski lift, cafe. Everyone will find something to do.
Children solve the problem with a taxi team, which includes 25,000 tenge instead of 8,000 tenge on the Yandex electrocar! In addition, it is three times more expensive, hamyat in response.... 90x service in 2025
They spoil all the impressions of the resort and the fact that you are deceived everywhere(
The answer to the question of the mafia taxi on arrival, 25,000 tenge plus 8,000 tenge on Yandex electric car! Another answer, which is in three times the road, is in the answer.... Service 90x in 2025
All visits from the resort and the end of the year will be paid to the West(
The place of my power...Since childhood, I have been charging with the Almaty mountains!!! The skating rink is the place where I have been skating for many years. If not for its unique ice and the nature around it....God bless such beauty!
Everything is done according to international standards. A cable car starts from the parking lot to the top, where you can ski in winter. You can walk to the skating rink and climb a little higher to the protective structure. And of course, beautiful views of Almaty and the mountains.
This is amazing!! A large medeo among the mountain peaks. You definitely need to visit at least once. The service inside is well organized - rental and a locker room for changing shoes for skates. The number of windows is enough for a large influx.
The only drawback is the traffic jam at the entrance. A huge crowd is gathering, and here the bandwidth is insufficient for a comfortable entrance. We'll have to be patient)) But the rink is worth it.
A very pleasant place in the mountains, almost within the city limits. Everything is clean and beautiful. If you arrive at the opening of the cable car , then there are no queues
This is the most ecologically clean area in the city, so my family and I like to go to the mountains more often, we really like it and it is beautiful beyond compare
A good historical place, we were in the summer! Aerobics and fitness classes were held, there were a lot of people, it was a lot of fun! Admission is free, large toilets! Free presentation of soft drinks from the Baltic Sea! Fruit and berry carbonated drinks! A good place in the valley between the mountains!
A great place to relax and skate among the mountains. The mountain ranges are very impressive. There is food and tea, which is very convenient to eat and drink tea without taking off your skates. A comfortable locker room, although there is little place where you can change your skates. And so I really liked everything, I'll come again
Nature is certainly fascinating. But there are too many uncultured people and students visiting. The service at the rink and in the whole complex leaves much to be desired. Not like before. Alma-Ata has lost its spirit..
The staff is on 3, the place is oversaturated with visitors, the waiting time is from an hour and above, the cost is decent, the quality of the rink is average, turns into a pumpkin after 20-30 minutes of riding, the prices for food and drinks are horse-drawn, the view is beautiful, but if you go it's just for the sake of the view, skating is like a vacation for 3 with a stretch
Mountain fresh air, the atmosphere of the old time that flows into the future. If you want to leave a good impression of this place, I recommend that you carefully plan your arrival time, as there are many people who want to, and Medeo will not accommodate everyone. In general, the ice is at a decent level, not without sin, of course, but considering the dimensions it is very good. The assortment is always full, I can't guarantee to say how clean it gets. With regard to prices, as I said earlier, you need to choose the right time to come without tearing your wallet and getting stuck in the crowd. A great place for all ages and number of people, with family and friends with soul mates, everyone will find an impression. Well, after visiting, you can always walk around, the views are beautiful. There are many places for snacks, the more people the cheaper)
It's a very cool place. Great views and a great place to relax. There is a lift on several levels.
On the first level there is an ice rink, a health ladder (did not climb, was not in Almaty :)) and cafes.
On the second level there are hotels and top-end chalet-style restrooms.
On the third level there are mountain peaks and views...

Three stars for:
- the fact that we have such a sports complex in a great location;
- professionalism in the work of the staff (except cleaners);
- the large area and condition of the rink, creating a great atmosphere.
In general, everyone who skated was cheerful, even in case of an accidental collision, they smilingly apologized and immediately dispersed!
Cons (mostly outside the rink or skating):
The organizers or the hosts could have created better conditions for that kind of money.
In parking lots, “inept” drivers park (leave) cars haphazardly!
A device for beginners to ride, made of plastic pipes, costs 3 thousand tng. Is it unrealistic?!
It's dirty everywhere after lunch (it starts clean in the morning). Especially on the 1st floor, the toilet water does not spontaneously run. It's a mess!
There is no quality and taste of everything that is sold, starting from simple tea. We'll pay as much as you need, but make it delicious!
I was shocked by the lack of any service from the facilities. The toilets are in terrible condition. Those skates that are rented out are all dumb, it costs money and 30 minutes of time to sharpen them. There are no warm cafes, there are no sales shops on the street run by incompetent people, not only does a glass cost 550tg, but it is also poured for about twenty minutes. In general, one of the Almaty tourism brands is a generator of bad reviews about the city in general. Owners should pay attention.
