Estonian school vacation

The Ice Age Centre is open during Estonian school vacation  from 10 – 17, and our café, Ice Bear, is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11-16.

Join us on a journey through 10,000 years!

Make sure to charge your phone and listen to our new AUDIOGUIDE at the Ice Age Centre!

Look for signs around the building and listen from your device.

Exciting stories can be heard in Estonian, English, Latvian, and Russian. The creation of a virtual tour companion was supported by the TAS lab via the LEADER program.

The Ice Age Centre – where 13.7 billion years of history unfolds from the Big Bang. It’s an experience center that allows you to witness climate change, the development of the Earth, and make connections between different times and phenomena.

You can travel back to the last ice age 10,000 years ago and explore how the world and Estonia’s nature have evolved over millennia, what are the causes of climate change today, and what is the human role in it.

At the Ice Age Centre, you can do many exciting things:

🔹 Learn about life before and after the last ice age

🔹 Find 25 experienced visitor and 15 children’s audio guide narrations throughout the building using QR codes and listen

🔹 Play in the cave of Stone Age people and search for bones in the sand like an archaeologist

🔹 See and touch snowmen indoors

🔹 Enjoy the dark winter night and the play of the northern lights regardless of cloudy weather

🔹 Learn why polar bears don’t eat penguins (on the third floor)

🔹 Play the Lemming Lemps search path and receive a small gift from the administrator

🔹 Listen to Peeter Laurits’ narrations at his exhibition and meditate on benches or cushions

🔹 Have fun in the children’s room with stone pillows

🔹 On March 3rd, come listen to discussions on Polar Bear Day

Outside the windows, the frozen Lake Saadjärv stretches, where you can still skate, and nearby, you can also rent sledges. In the café, some parents can even hold work meetings as we have good internet coverage.
