(Translated by Google) The recently restored palace has superb parquet floors!! Incredible parquet restoration work. It smells like juniper))! The rest of the palace is entirely eclectic - a mixture of styles. Stunning and unique - there is no other like it - glass bead cabinet Bugle beads and satin stitch embroidery all over the walls instead of wallpaper and damask. 300 rubles for adults without benefits. + 100 rubles entrance to Oranienbaum Park. The park is currently undergoing very active work to rebuild ponds and paths. And so everything is dug up. It's difficult to get through without a map. (Original) Недавно отреставрированный дворец имеет превосходнейший паркеты !! Невероятные паркетные работы по реставрации. Пахнет можжевельником ))! В остальном дворец это сплошь эклектика -смешение стилей. Потрясающий и уникальный - больше такого нет - стеклярусный кабинет Стеклярус и вышивка гладъю сплошь по стенам вместо обоев и штофов. 300 р для взрослых без льгот.+ 100 р вход в парк Ораниенбаума. В парке сейчас оч.активные работы по перестройке прудов, дорожек . И поэтому всё перекопано. Пройти без карты сложно.

(Translated by Google) I was very pleased with my visit to the Chinese Palace. Despite the external restraint and some severity, the interior decoration of the palace is elegant and surprisingly elegant. The main highlight of the Chinese Palace is the Glass Cabinet, which has preserved the original decoration of the 1760s. I really enjoyed the tour, I learned a lot of interesting facts. I recommend visiting. By 2023, the palace will be completely restored. Take your document with you, as Russian citizens have discounts on tickets (Original) Очень довольна посещением Китайского дворца. Несмотря на внешнюю сдержанность и некоторую строгость, внутренняя отделка дворца оформлена изысканно и удивительно нарядно. Главной знаменитостью Китайского дворца является Стеклярусный кабинет, сохранивший подлинную отделку 1760-х Очень понравилось экскурсия, много интересных фактов узнала. Рекомендую к посещению. К 2023году дворец будет полностью отреставрирован. Берите с собой документ, тк гражданам России скидки на билеты

(Translated by Google) This is my third time visiting this museum, several years apart, and each time there is something to admire. Of course, the most vivid impression is visiting the glass bead room, although all the other rooms and rooms are very beautiful. I recommend visiting, it's worth it! (Original) Третий раз посещаю этот музей с разницей в несколько лет, и каждый раз в нем есть, чем полюбоваться. Безусловно, самым ярким впечатлением является посещение стеклярусного кабинета, хотя и все остальные кабинеты и залы - очень красивые. Рекомендую к посещению, это стоит того!

(Translated by Google) This is a wonderful place for walking and relaxing from the hustle and bustle. Tours in the palace take place with an earpiece and a transmitter; if you stay in the hall, you can hear everything the guide says. There are vending machines with hot drinks and small snacks on site. (Original) Это чудесное место для прогулок и отдыха от суеты. Экскурсии во дворце проходят с наушником и передатчиком, если задержались в зале, вы все слышите, что говорит экскурсовод. На территории есть автоматы с горячими напитками и всякой мелочью на перекус.
Екатерина Юмаева — Google review
(Translated by Google) A wonderful, beautiful place, friendly staff, but there is one BUT - why were they given headphones when you can hear the guide without them? This is not the Hermitage, there are no large halls here, everything is quite cramped. And the excursion was so-so, the guide was not at all interesting in telling the story. Two words about the room and the rest - this vase is so-and-so, this picture was painted by so-and-so. You can see everything in 30 minutes, but here it is stretched out for an hour, well then at least tell us something more interesting from the life of the sovereigns. And one more thing - at the entrance they put on shoe covers, since the parquet floors have been preserved from the 18th century and are very slippery. Is it worth a visit? Definitely - Yes. The interiors are quite interesting, especially since almost everything has been preserved from the time of Catherine II and where people lived for a long time. People are allowed into the palace only if it is not raining outside and only with a guided tour starting at 12 o’clock, but this is conditional, our group went through earlier. (Original) Прекрасное, красивое место, доброжелательный персонал, но есть одно НО - зачем выдали наушники, когда экскурсовода и без них слышно? Это не Эрмитаж, тут нет больших залов, все довольно тесно. И экскурсия была так себе, экскурсовод совершенно не интересно рассказывала. Два слова о комнате и остальное - эта ваза такая-то, эту картину написал тот-то. Посмотреть все можно за 30 минут, а тут растянуто на час, ну тогда хоть расскажите что-то более интересное из жизни государей. И ещё, - при входе одевают бахилы, так как полы паркетные сохранились с 18 века и очень скользкие. Стоит ли посетить? Однозначно - Да. Интерьеры довольно интересные, тем более что практически все сохранилось со времен Екатерины II и где ещё долго проживали люди. Во дворец пускают только если на улице нет дождя и только с экскурсией, начиная с 12 часов, но это условно, наша группа прошла раньше.

(Translated by Google) The palace is interesting, the glass bead cabinet is luxurious, and the service staff are boorish and rude. Don’t take a step to the left, don’t remove the mask from your nose, don’t roll on the floor. Unpleasant, spoils the whole impression of the visit (Original) Дворец интересный, стеклярусный кабинет шикарный, а обслуживающий персонал - хамки и хабалки. Шаг влево не сделай, маску с носа не убирай, по паркету не катайся. Неприятно, портит все впечатление от посещения

Alexander Chelombitkin — Google review
(Translated by Google) Amazing Chinese palace. The modest palace of Peter III. A large well-kept park. Few signs. It's difficult to navigate for the first time. We got there by train. Very comfortable. A ticket to each palace is taken separately. At the entrance you can only pay for the park + one palace. It costs about 2000 rubles to visit all objects (Original) Восхитительный китайский дворец. Скромный дворец Петра 3. Большой ухоженный парк. Мало указателей. Сложно сориентироваться в первый раз. Добирались на электричке.очень комфортная ласточка. В каждый дворец билет берется отдельно. При входе можно только оплатить парк+один дворец. Около 2000р стоит посещение всех объектов

(Translated by Google) Great place. Beautiful. A lot of work is currently underway in the park. A lot of heavy equipment. And that's great. A beautiful palace and park ensemble is being revived. This is very encouraging. A small and homely, cozy PETRA III palace. Everything here breathes history. (Original) Великолепное место. Красивое. В парке сейчас ведутся большие работы. Очень много тяжёлой техники. И это прекрасно. Возрождается прекрасный дворцово-парковый ансамбль. Это очень радует. Маленький и по домашнему уютный дворец ПЕТРА III. Здесь все дышит историей.

(Translated by Google) Amazing place! A picturesque and green park. Small in size, but not small either. With beautiful views and cute palaces. There is a mini zoo with ducks, pheasants, deer and goats. There are a lot of comfortable benches, which is also a plus! And if you get hungry there are several hot dog stands. True, the price is a bit expensive 🤔 There are toilets. Entrance to the park is paid; with a Russian passport, entry is 100 rubles. Overall, a good park for recreation) The only thing is that when we arrived there a week ago, we encountered some inconveniences... half of the park was fenced off, construction work was going on and the ponds were dried up, I hope they will finish it soon and it will be possible to see the whole park) (Original) Восхитительное место! Живописный и утопающий в зелени парк. Небольшой по размерам, но и не маленький. С красивыми видами и милыми дворцами. Есть мини зоопарк с уточками, фазанами, оленями и козами. Много удобным лавочек, что тоже плюс! И если вы проголодались есть несколько ларьков с хот-догами. Правда по цене дороговато 🤔 Имеются туалеты. Вход в парк платный, по паспорту РФ вход 100 руб. В целом хороший парк для отдыха) Единственное, когда мы приехали туда неделю назад, столкнулись с некоторыми неудобнствами...там пол парка было огорожено, шли строительные работы и пруды высушены, надеюсь скоро они закончат и можно будет посмотреть весь парк)

(Translated by Google) I visited the park for the first time in winter. The palace was closed during the holidays, but the park complex has many interesting corners and you can enjoy a walk. All amenities are in perfect order, so despite the cold weather, walking is very comfortable! (Original) Первый раз посетила парк зимой. Дворец в праздники был закрыт, но в парковом комплексе много интересных уголков и можно насладиться прогулкой. Все удобства в идеальном порядке, так что несмотря на холодную погоду, гулять очень комфортно!

(Translated by Google) An amazing place to spend the day. A huge well-kept park with benches and dirt paths, you can visit in the summer the Chinese Palace - just restored, the Palace of Peter III, masterpieces of architecture, carefully preserved and professionally restored. They were not damaged during the Second World War and therefore it is authentic!! (Original) Изумительное место, где можно провести день. Огромный ухоженный парк с лавочками и грунтовыми дорожками, можно посетить в летнее время Китайский дворец-только что отреставрированный, дворец Петра III, шедевры архитектуры, бережно сохраненные и профессионально отреставрированные. Не пострадали во время ВОВ и поэтому это аутентично!!

(Translated by Google) The Palace of Peter III is a palace located in the southeastern part of the Oranienbaum palace and park ensemble. It was built in the 18th century. designed by Rinaldi, and was the main building in the amusing fortress of Peterstadt. The palace has survived to this day. When visiting, it is better to have a passport, as there are benefits for Russian citizens. The volumetric and spatial design of the palace and its layout are unusual. This is a small, almost cubic, two-story building topped with a balustrade. (Original) Дворец Петра III — дворец, расположенный в юго-восточной части дворцово-паркового ансамбля «Ораниенбаум». Был построен в 18 веке. по проекту Ринальди, и являлся главной постройкой в потешной крепости Петерштадт. Дворец сохранился до наших дней. При посещении лучше иметь паспорт, тк есть льготы для граждан России. Объемно-пространственное решение дворца и его планировка необычны. Это небольшое, почти кубической формы двухэтажное здание, увенчанное балюстрадой.

(Translated by Google) The Palace of Peter III is small, but worth a look, interesting interiors. They let you in only with a guided tour, the guide was very pleasant, the story was interesting and not drawn out. At the entrance you are given fabric shoe covers; the floors are very slippery. (Original) Дворец Петра III небольшой, но посмотреть стоит, интересные интерьеры. Пускают только с экскурсией, экскурсовод была очень приятная, рассказывала интересно, не затянуто. При входе выдают тканевые бахилы, полы очень скользкие.

The Menshikovskiy Dvorets is a large palace and park complex in the suburbs of Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was originally built between 1714 and 1730 for Field Marshal VI Ivan Muscovite Menshikov, one of the most powerful men of his age. The palace now houses the Museum of Russian Art and contains several art galleries, as well as an extensive collection of sculpture.
A gorgeous palace with intense meaning for my family as many of my ancestors were Volga Germans who first came to Russia from Western and Southwest Germany via Saint Petersburg, arriving first at the gates of the Oranienbaum, some possibly greeted by Catherine The Great herself from her balcony, many of the Germans having been invited to Russia while she was Empress. The gardens are stunning and we only bought tickets for these outer courtyards but it was moving to stand where my immigrant ancestral grandparents likely also stood as they entered Russia en route to a new life on the Volga.

It a very beautiful building with plenty of space to walk in the garden, however what is weird is the amount of guards taking care that nobody steps on the grass, they literally shout at people who steps on the grass. Otherwise it is such a great place to visit and avoid crowds, while still being amazed with the scale of beauty and the level of life they used to live.

Beautiful big park, although currently (July 2016) half of it is unavailable due to reconstruction. Lots of alleys to walk, benches to sit, ponds, flowers, palaces. At the moment free admission (also cause of reconstruction).

Nice castle near the most known Petergof. It was built by the Peter the Great's right hand. The castle is still on ongoing restoration, so many rooms are still closed to the public. Lately they opened the church, worth for a visit,. The 1st part is made of audiovisual contents about the history of the aeea and why Menshikov became so important and powerful. In the 2nd part you visit the central building where there are beautiful restored private rooms. This part is described by a tourguide, available in russian and english. There is also the pissibility to take an audioguide.

We visit it at start of January about 3pm it was really wet and grey and didn't look very nice how you can expect from pictures.When it get's darker outside,everything start to look better and more alive.I didn't been inside at any of these buildings so can make my opinion only about view from street side and inside of park.As any of these ancient buildings it's still nice to see at least once so not a big deal to go 29 kilometers from city to have a look at it and take some good pictures.I bet is absolutely different view at summer or even spring but I doubt what I gonna come back to see it again.Wish you good luck and best impressions

Interesting place to visit. We were there in winter. We had lots of snow and the palace was at restavration. Definitely want to go there in summer. Although we were in winter and it was cold, there were people working in the palace, guards and stuff who were very kind and answering every question in details. They even tried to explain us a bit about the palace, how it is in summer etc. If you are for more days in spb, or simply live here, you should visit the place. The road is worthed :) however if you are short with time, i guess it is better to see the places and palaces that sre more famous
