What are the best things to do and places to go if your children are full of energy and ready for new adventures?
Find out about ten places that have been tested and recommended for others by little Vikings.
- ASVA Viking Village
You can hone your skills of archery, axe-throwing and several fun Viking games in the Viking Fortress. There are animals and birds waiting for you at the Animal Park, or you can test your strength and skill in the Adventure Park. www.vikingvillage.ee - Kuressaare Castle
The mysterious halls and thrilling passages in the walls are an open invitation to explore. This year, all visitors can take a look at the new exhibition, “Vikings before Vikings”, featuring models of Viking ships, an animation of the Battle of Salme, and an interactive Viking king. www.saaremaamuuseum.ee - THULE KODA, an Alternative History Museum
Thule Koda presents the mythical voyage of Pytheas, the Ancient Greek explorer, to the edge of the world, Ultima Thule, which we now know as Saaremaa. The exhibits are a bit tongue-in-cheek, and their motto is ‘Do not believe everything you see’. There is also a cinema room with an excellent selection of films. www.thulekoda.ee - WOW Experience Centre
Nearly 30 attractions o ering experiences in di erent areas. Light-driven cars, climbing into a soap bubble, designing a land- scape with your own hands – these are only some of the attractions of the centre. www.wowkeskus.ee - Medieval Activity Centre ARCHEBALD
The Medieval activity centre is your chance to try your hand at some of the ancient artisan techniques and technologies. Another exciting world is awaiting you in the weapons chamber that is about to be supplemented with several axes, spears and armours of the Viking period this year. www.archebald.ee - Adventure parks and hiking trails
There are various adventure parks waiting for brave climbers in Saare- maa and Muhu. Some have been built high in the treetops, while others are closer to the ground. Sometimes, you do not even have to climb to have an adventure. Designed primarily for children, Püha-Soobiku hiking trail features a playful insight into the wonderful world of nature. www.visitsaaremaa.ee/saaremaa-seikluspargid - Rabbit village
The Rabbit Village is no ordinary animal park, but rather a village inhabited by animals and birds. Like any self-respecting village, it has its own shop, a church and little houses. They are popu- lated by adorable rabbits, energetic chicks and other interesting pets. www.facebook.com/kuulikukula - Pidula Wakepark
At Pidula Wakepark, you can have fun with a wakeboard in summer and on an icy tube track in winter. The 230 m track of the Wakepark o ers challenges for experienced riders and fun discoveries for beginners. In addition, all visitors can enjoy a sandy beach, SUP boards and the stone-baked pizzas of Wake Cafe. www.saarewake.ee - Muhu Ostrich Farm
Muhu Ostrich Farm is a super excit- ing animal park inhabited by ostric- hes, zebras, red kangaroos, walla- bies, emus, alpacas, ponies and bunnies. Feeding ostriches corn directly from hand has become a favourite activity for children. www.jaanalind.ee - Angla Windmill Mount
At Angla Windmill Mount you can learn more about windmills as well as the wisdom and tools of ancient Estonians. Many cool farm animals like to spend time in the yard of Windmill Mount during summer. It would also be a good idea to keep an eye out for events and work- shops organised at Angla. You can make many good discoveries there. www.anglatuulik.eu
