We will offer you an interesting and skillfully shot film about marmots, filmed in the local steppes by a German director. 
Water hall of Bird's Paradise visitor center in Korgalzhyn Reserve: 
the first thing you learn in this room is how the system of Teniz-Korgalzhyn lakes was created, and the importance of the reserve’s retaining dams. The “Water Route” passes through the main lakes, channels, and rivers of the Korgalzhyn Nature Reserve and introduces visitors to their inhabitants; the voices of swans, pelicans, ducks and waders are heard.
The “Underwater World” diorama invites you to sink to the bottom of the lake and admire its inhabitants. At the end, a beautiful “video show” awaits you. On one white screen, images of beautiful protected landscapes, plants and animals appear accompanied by music.
At the same time, on the other side there are smoking chimneys, steppe fires, the banks of rivers and lakes polluted with garbage. The contrast of what you see makes you think about what you can do to preserve nature.
The brightest, most colorful and interesting is the children's environmental education room, where children can play and at the same time better learn and understand natural processes using modern interactive and gaming methods.
There is an outdoor playground for children. The Visit Center has a cinema hall where those interested can watch a popular science film about the Tengiz-Korgalzhyn lake system “Secrets of the reserved land”. Filming took place over a year and a half.
