It is hard to find such diversity even in the wild. In aquariums, there are many rare species of fishes and scallops.

Nur-Sultan Circus is another great family-friendly destination in the capital of Kazakhstan. The building of the circus is a landmark itself, so it is very interesting to visit it. It has a very unusual shape that resembles flying soccer. The design of the building was developed by Tolegen Abilda. In his work, he tried to reflect dreams of children about outer space and aliens, adding a touch of mystics to the circus. The local circus troupe has as many as 320 actors, so they are always ready to amaze and entertain children with acrobatic mastery, conjuring tricks, shows with trained animals, marvelous gymnastic performances, and dancing. Funny and cheerful clowns can make small kids happy. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
