Sakhalin Regional Museum
Сахалинский государственный областной краеведческий музей
(pictured) Housed in the former Japanese building dating back to 1937, the museum hosts exhibitions about the island's natural and climatic features, the history of Sakhalin, and a quite good ethnographic collection of the island's indigenous peoples. Don't miss the outdoor exhibition that includes Japanese steles and border stones, the houses of indigenous people, local plants, and old cannons.

Gagarin Park
Парк им. Ю.А. Гагарина
Scrappy but loved, the Gagarin Park is a nice place for a stroll, supposedly the largest in the far east and something of a leisure center for the local population. The park features athletic facilities, adventure playgrounds, a lake with small boats, a miniature railway, a zoo and a run down amusement park. On the eastern corner of the park there is a trail head leading up the hill for a nice view over the city.

Sakhalin Regional Puppet Theatre
Сахалинский театр кукол
While mostly geared towards children, some of their shows are quite extraordinary, so it might be an option for a rainy day, even if you don't have children. They are quite renowned within Russia and occasionally travel overseas.
