The exhibition centre was built in the era of Joseph Stalin.
The place selected was Moscow's northern suburb Ostankino.
The main planner was Vyacheslav Oltarzhevsky who planned a central avenue with fountains, small roads and a large square facing the central pavilion at the end of the avenue.
A statue of Vladimir Lenin used to stand in the front of the pavilion.
In the central square there is a big fountain called, Fontan Druzhba Narodov.
In English it means, Friendship of People Fountain.
Designed in the shape of an octagon, the fountain was created to glorify the people of the Soviet Union.
There is another fountain called "The Stone Flower Fountain" facing the Ukraine Pavilion.
There is a smaller square facing the Space Pavilion in the centre of which stands a Tupolev Tu-154 aircraft, placed there in the 1960s after the pavilion of Agricultural Machinery became the Cosmos Pavilion.
A large statue of Joseph Stalin stood in the square until 1948.
This had previously stood on the banks of the Moskva River in the city centre.
The square is called The Industrial Square.

The northern area of the site is an area shared between the exhibition centre and the botanic gardens of the nearby Russian Academy of Sciences.
In it are agricultural pavilions and estate pools with vegetation including: Michurin's Garden and the Golden Spike Fountain.
All the fountains in the centre are covered with gold.
There are also many statues situated throughout the site, particularly of Soviet leaders.
In addition, the site houses cinemas, cafés, theatre pavilions as well as a church built after the fall of the Soviet Union.

In the southern area of the complex, near the central entrance there is an Amusement Park with the Moscow-850 Ferris wheel.
It was built in 2004 as part of Moscow's 850th anniversary celebration.
The restored Soviet pavilion from Expo 67 in Montreal is now  the Moscow Pavilion.
Soviet architects' planned the pavilions and Soviet artists' designed the fountains.
Designed in Stalinist architecture, some pavilions were built in the wedding cake style; such as the Central Pavilion that was famous in the Communist States at that time.

In 2008, the Big Constructivist Pavilion was built as a replica of the original Soviet pavilion.
In 2009, the renovated statue of Worker and Kolkhoz woman was erected on top of the building.

The Worker and Kolkhoz woman sculpture was originally created to crown the Soviet pavilion of the World's Fair.
The organizers had placed the Soviet and Nazi pavilions facing each other across the main pedestrian boulevard at the Trocadéro on the north bank of the Seine.

Today visitors can rent a car or a bicycle to tour the site.
