The Square of Kyiv Intellectuals is widely regarded as a hidden gem, with many visitors appreciating its magical and secluded atmosphere. The sculptures by Kostiantyn Skretuckiy are a major draw, with some comparing the artistic style to Barcelona's Gaudi park. Reviewers frequently mention that the square is easy to miss, as it is tucked behind buildings and accessible through an archway, which adds to its charm. Recent renovations have improved the park's appeal, and the addition of educational murals about war safety has been noted as a significant cultural contribution. While most feedback is positive, some visitors find the symbolic bird statues to be controversial in their artistic representation. Overall, it is praised as a quiet, artistic retreat in the heart of Kyiv.
