A great place for a little walk and you can take pictures. You can get there by cable car. There are restaurants and cafes, you can sit. Prices are high.
A great place for ice skating, you can have a great day or half a day, the staff is polite, the skates are in average condition and not sharpened, but the atmosphere itself is cool.
Beauty. There are stairs to the dam further above the stadium, the ascent is difficult without preparation, but it's worth it, and from the dam there is a beautiful view, and you can go down into the valley where the mountain river flows among the pines
We were engaged in the construction of the event. Very unsuitable weather conditions, the heat is replaced by showers with thunderstorms, endless wind and heat again.
The views around are fascinating! Be sure to take the Medeu-Chembulak cable car.
It's very beautiful, incredibly contrasting, a little scary if you don't have experience climbing on a cable car, but it's worth it!) It's available, but the sooner the better, there are long queues.
A great skating rink, despite the fine rain, we had a great ride. We were on Sunday night skating. The toilets are clean, there is paper. Please return the smoking room, going into the smoking area is not an option at all. To go very far, to change shoes, I understand everything about a sports facility, but it's outdoors!
A great place to visit, I recommend it to the guests of the city

The world's largest high-altitude ice rink, opened on December 28, 1972. The cleanest air. Proximity to the city (30 minutes from the city center). A favorite place for residents and visitors of the city. A must-visit. Above the skating rink there is a self-protective dam, the road to it is along the "Medeo stairs", popular with residents of the city, consisting of 842 steps.
Mountains are generally a separate topic when it's +38 in the city and you go up to the top and touch the unrefined snow, it's cool, it's easy to dish, and the scenery is indescribable.

The skating rink is great, huge and it's getting better. But with skate rentals, the wild west. A dozen competing companies are renting skates of completely different quality. Choose and search better. And another moment, the wind is strong!
Words and letters cannot describe it, it takes your breath away, there are no better places like this in the world. Yes, it's cool in other mountains too, but it's just amazing here. Everyone who visits Almaty, be sure to go to Medeo and Cimbulak. At any time of the year, it's just awesome there
I've been to Almaty and haven't been to Medeu, you can say you haven't been anywhere. Here you can test your endurance by climbing the slope or just look at the beauty of the mountains from the funicular.
I have long dreamed of visiting Medeo, in Soviet times it was one of the coolest vacation spots. Nothing impressive really. Skiing is below average. One lift. Sheregesh, Krasnaya Polyana is more than 100 orders of magnitude higher. BUT I still recommend visiting.
A truly mesmerizing Olympic-sized ice rink in the mountains. Clean, fast, friendly staff, you can have coffee and a snack. On the way to the Medeu, you can take a picture in a national costume.
The coolest ice rink! It's big, there's plenty of room for everyone. The rolling skates are normal. There are great photographers, coffee and food. But the most important thing is the magnificent view of the mountains.
I was passing through and didn't have time to visit. We will definitely visit next time. From the height of the cable car, everything looks very good 👍
I watched him many times from the side, walking along the Medeu tract. Massive, solid. There are enough people at the rink and it varies depending on the hour and day of the week. It's dark on the weekend!!! For some reason, everyone decided that they needed to go to the ice rink! Did the bloggers do their best?
I plan to skate there myself in the near future!
Medeo saw it, I liked it in the offseason. The view from above is gorgeous. We are going to definitely go during the season. But even at this time, the beauty is indescribable
the price for admission and skate rental is very adequate, the location is excellent, you don't stand in line for long, but there is a significant disadvantage-this is the number of people at this rink, especially for evening sessions🥲
An interesting place, there are enough slopes for three days so that you don't get bored. The end of the day is very strangely organized - there is always a huge queue for the groove leading down - it would seem that if people were given the opportunity to take their time and sit comfortably in the surrounding cafes, then it would be more profitable for everyone
A great ice rink with a wonderful view of the mountains. Cozy lighting, good music, affordable prices.
Among the disadvantages are old skates with poor sharpening and little space to rest in the warmth while skiing. Given the status of such a skating rink, it would be possible to put the space in order.
I don't like closed areas. One of the advantages is quiet, calm and safe. One of the disadvantages is that the glass facades look dirty and untidy. Secondly, immediately outside the complex, the terrible unkemptness, dirt, and ugly roads are sharply evident.
A great place for a weekend, good organization, cafes, rental, there are enough places in the parking lot. I do not regret visiting, I will definitely go again.
Pros: location, accessibility, easy ticket purchase through the website, skate rental, organized entrance to the rink
Cons: payment for skates exclusively through the "Caspian" system, which means that foreigners have no chance to pay. I didn't like the quality of the ice (
