Burabay District: Discover Lakes, Views and Culture
Accommodation in Burabay District
Lakeside Scenery and Views
In Burabay District, the range of attractions extends from lakeside scenery and expansive views to sacred sites and cultural offerings. Lake Borovoe is a natural body of water in the Kokshetau lake group, surrounded by coniferous forests and mountains. From the Bolektau Observation Deck, you can enjoy sweeping views of Lake Borovoe, Lake Shchuchye, the Okzhetpes and Zhumbaktas rock formations, and the forested areas of the national park. Interactive navigation panels, QR-based activities and audio guides complement the observation deck with wayfinding features. Here, a single panorama brings together expanses of water, rock formations and forest; these features give the landscape its varied character.

Experiences by the Lake
Lake Bolshoye Chebachye is the largest lake in the Burabay group. Visitors can spend time on the beach, fish, take boat trips and camp by the lake. For a trip focused on water, the lake is a specific point of reference. Consider what role these activities should play in your stay; that priority can serve as a starting point for further planning.
History, Culture and Family Activities
Historical and cultural themes also offer different ways to explore the area. Glade of Abylai Khan is a sacred site and historical monument. Tour operators have developed tourist routes to historical and sacred sites in Burabay District. Official route information was published in 2023; route offerings may change. While Glade of Abylai Khan is a specific historical and sacred site, the Multimedia Interactive Complex uses technology to present the nature, history and culture of the resort area. BurabayLand is a family amusement park in the Burabay resort area. A specific monument, themed routes, a technological presentation of the resort area and a family amusement park thus cater to different interests.
Choose the Right Focus
As a family amusement park, BurabayLand offers a distinct focus. So begin planning by asking which experiences you want to define your stay.
Aqmola in a Broader Context

An interactive open-air archaeological and ethnographic museum, «Botai Burabay», dedicated to the ancient Botai culture, adds a cultural dimension. The Mausoleum of Uali Khan is also located in Aqmola, in Burabay District. The mausoleum is an important sacred site and a symbol of Kazakh statehood. It reflects the traditions of steppe architecture and the spiritual heritage of the Kazakh people.
