Also within Central Square is the Palace of Culture, Arts, and Creativity (informally called just the Palace of Culture), one of the largest cultural centers in Tolyatti. The neo-classical building was constructed in 1976 in Soviet times; after various interim forms, the institution was converted in 2004 to an
open joint-stock company. The Palace of Culture is one of the city's largest venue for plays and concerts. Musicals, holiday extravaganzas, and other shows are presented there. The Palace also hosts corporate events. The Palace also hosts vocal, dance and acting workshops for children; other child or family centered activities are a bowling alley,
laser tag arena, and the Emerald City, a large indoor children's space featuring a
carousel, giant bubble maker, slides and other play structures, and other attractions.
Birthday parties are hosted there. ==References==
