School holiday
From October 22nd (Tue) to October 25th (Fri), exciting workshops will take place at the Ice Age Centre to explore the water of Lake Saadjärv and discover small invertebrates. These investigations will be held indoors and are not dependent on weather conditions. Participants will use test tubes and simple microscopes to learn about the changes happening in the lake water during autumn as the lake’s ecosystem prepares for winter.
Visitors of all ages are welcome to join the workshop.
The workshop starts at 11:00 AM in the Ice Age Centre’s conference hall, and participation is free with the purchase of an Ice Age Centre ticket. The workshop lasts approximately 45 minutes.
There is also a family-friendly café on-site. We recommend coming with the whole family!
