• Heavy history in places, with Gulag-style guard towers, barbed wire and exhibits on deportations, so talk it through with younger kids first
• Mini zoo and old carousels give younger kids a break from the statues
• Café serving Soviet-style food, open the same hours as the park, so a half day here is easy

Grūtas Park gathers 86 Soviet-era statues of Lenin, Stalin, Marx and Lithuanian Communist figures, taken down after independence and set along wooden paths across 20 hectares. Guard towers and barbed-wire fences echo the Gulag camps, and indoor museum rooms show how Soviet rule worked. For younger kids there is a mini zoo with birds and small animals, and an old Soviet-era playground with carousels.
