The hospitable, hospitable capital of Ukraine Kiev keeps its ancient atmosphere in special places, such as: St. Andrew's Descent, Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, Podil. But a part of the industrial era is best reflected in new formations - entertainment centers. The brightest of them is Ocean Plaza. Kiev here appears as an ultramodern interesting city in which you can find everything. Where is the Ocean Plaza shopping center and what can be found there is the topic of our article.
Location and mode of operation
Being a large institution with a wide range of services and an assortment of goods, the mall is located near the center - in the Pechersky district (Kiev). The address “Ocean Plaza” has the following: Gorky Street, 176. However, we will not need it as such to find a huge building of unusual design, which is the center.
Not far away lies the Peoples' Friendship Boulevard, a small lake Glinskoe. Also, from the famous places located in the same area, we note the Baikoe cemetery. Naturally, only as a cultural and historical value.
Kiev sets its own rhythm for the Ocean Plaza center: the mall doors open for visitors at 10.00 and close at 23.00.
How to get there
Shopping and entertainment center "Ocean Plaza" is very convenient in terms of transport routes. Literally in front of the main entrance to the institution is the metro station "Libed" ("Libidska"), which is on the blue line. On the metro scheme of Kiev it will be easy to navigate clearly.
Since the Libedskaya metro is not so far from the city center and the intersections of all metro lines, this should also be considered a shopping center advantage. On the blue branch without transfers, we can reach the station we need in a maximum of 25-30 minutes (from remote stations).
To get to Libedskaya via the red line (Svyatoshinsky, Shevchenkovsky, Podolsky, Dneprovsky, Desnyansky districts), you will first need to get to the Khreshchatyk station (Khreschatyk) and go to Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnostі). There we board the train, choosing the desired direction, and go 4 stops to the desired station. Travel time is 35-40 minutes (from remote stations).
From Obolonsky, Goloseevsky, Darnitsky districts, where the green metro line runs, you can get to the “Ocean Plaza” shopping center with a change at the “Palace of Sports” (“Palace of Sport”) station. Also, without getting up from the subway, you will need to go to the Lev Tolstoy Square station (Leo Tolstoy Square) and go three stops to the Libedskaya we need. Traveling from distant stations will also take about 35-40 minutes.
Features of the shopping center "Ocean Plaza"
The first thing that catches your eye when approaching the mall is its unusual architectural form. As if all the newest, most unusual ideas were subordinated to a single idea. She expressed herself in the name of the center and the decorative design of the interior.
The building has four floors. At the first, we will see the long shelves of the Auchan megastore, bank branches, a technology supermarket and much more. On the second and other floors - various shops of clothes, shoes, accessories. Everything you can imagine is in the center of Ocean Plaza! Kiev is going here to relax in the process of active shopping - all in the new traditions of the big city!
What you should definitely see
Over the weekend, the Ocean Plaza gathers many hundreds of visitors under its roof. Someone needs to be stingy, someone just came here with his family to relax. In addition to shopping, cafes and entertainment for children (3rd floor), there is one extraordinary installation in the Plaza. This is a giant, wonderfully equipped aquarium with exotic fish of different sizes floating in it.
The sight before the visitors of the center is bewitching. Many, which can be seen from the views, see for the first time live fish of this size. Napoleon fish, schools of small piranhas, four sharks (!) - this is far from all the most beautiful representatives of the water world represented here. The fish, swimming around their oversighters, go about their business, showing one side or the other of a fantastic color.
In addition to cafes, restaurants, cinema and dozens of stores, the Ocean Plaza shopping center (Kiev) is definitely worth a visit to this aquarium! Is there any need to say how delighted the children are with such a living corner?
Cinema City (Kiev), Ocean Plaza: movie nights
The third (if you do not take into account the zero) floor of the huge SEC “Ocean Plaza” is occupied not only by departments with clothes and shoes, but also by the Cinema Citi cinema. Here, visitors to the center can interrupt their shopping race for an hour or two to watch the movie of interest on the big screen.
The cinema combines nine spacious, modernly equipped cinema halls. There is an official website on which information about new products in the rental is regularly updated.

Throughout the morning, day and evening, dozens of films for every taste of the viewer are waiting for Kiev residents and guests of the capital.
