Pyrogiv (Pirogovo) by Little Miss Moi
Look at this post on Little Miss Moi’s Nezalezhnosti blog to go nuts over the beauty of this museum under open sky on the outskirts of Kyiv.
This guy wrote an exhaustive guite to Pirogovo in Russian (map of the place provided there on top, which can be very handy). I am linking it here on top as well.
It’s best to bring your own food. No bbq but plenty of picnic tables around. Locally done bbq is too fried or too expensive (if you go to Yarivec’ restaurant on the grounds. It boasts a great terrase in secluded woods and Kyiv prices).

I was actually very lucky to be able to take my boyfriend there a couple of years ago. I was SO proud the entire time we were there.

xaxa, the whole place is a big showcase that leaves any visitor in awe. Another great spot is Spivoche pole behind Lavra - the iron lady looks so trippy close by

I’ve never been to that park behind the lavra. Never seen Rodina Mat’ close up but I’m sure she’d give me nightmares.
