Discover Pursaklar

When looking for a hotel in Pursaklar, you can first consider which themes you want to shape your stay: nature and outdoor activities, encounters with animals or cultural offerings. The places and facilities focus on different things. This lets you choose activities according to your own interests, without viewing every destination in the same way.

Nature and outdoor activities at Endemik Vadi

Endemik Vadi brings together plant and animal life associated with Ankara. It is home to endemic plants typical of Ankara, as well as the Ankara goat, Ankara cat, Ankara pigeon and Ankara rabbit. If you are interested in regional species, this offers a different focus from Pursaklar’s cultural facilities: the emphasis is on natural diversity and these Ankara breeds.

The valley also has a hiking trail and a cycling trail, offering two distinct ways to be active within the area. Practical workshops on plants and nature are held there under the guidance of instructors. If you would like to plan a workshop, check the current program details in advance.

Animals and play facilities

The Evcil Hayvanlar Parkı ve Rehabilitasyon Merkezi focuses on poultry species and educating visitors about them. Endangered poultry species are introduced to citizens and children there. Among the 20 species kept at the center is the Sultan chicken, also known as Sultan Tavuğu. This breed was raised in palaces during the Ottoman Empire; the center preserves it and other poultry species for future generations. The facility thus combines an educational offering for visitors with a historical connection to poultry breeding.

Oyuncakistan on Karaca Caddesi is another place in Pursaklar with play facilities. The park offers children a variety of play equipment. Right next to it are a freely accessible sports area, a walking path and gazebos. The information thus clearly distinguishes between the play equipment at Oyuncakistan and the adjacent facilities. If you are travelling with children, you can take these offerings into account when planning, without inferring anything about the features of an accommodation.

Theatre and urban research

The Devlet Tiyatroları Pursaklar Sahnesi opened in 2021 through a collaboration between Pursaklar Municipality and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The venue has 679 seats and provides space for cultural and artistic performances. Its capacity gives a specific indication of the auditorium’s size; you should check individual performances or show dates separately when planning your trip.

The Şehir Araştırmaları Kütüphanesi offers a different way to explore the city. It provides information resources on urban research and a reading room. No fee or membership is required to use the collection or reading room. The library is open to undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students, academic staff, municipal authorities, journalists, researchers and authors. People who want to conduct research on cities are also among the stated user groups. The offering is therefore aimed not only at an academic audience, but also at people with a specific interest in urban research.

Mini golf as another option

The golf range in Pursaklar was established for athletes and citizens. A description from February 2024 mentions a mini-golf course with 13 tee-off stations and guidance from professional trainers. If mini golf fits your travel plans, check current availability before visiting. This keeps your plans focused on this activity, while Endemik Vadi, the animal and play facilities, and the theatre and library each offer their own reasons for choosing activities.
