One of the main attractions of Yerevan is the Cascade Complex - a park made to look like an open-air museum where sculptures by famous sculptors line the paths that lead to the "cascading" building. Escalators within convey visitors to the top of the building. On the ascent, more exhibits can be seen. Featured is the Big Blue Kiwi.
