If you are planning a family trip to Pärnu county, here are our suggestions for turning the day into a memorable adventure — from morning excitement to a peaceful evening in the heart of nature.
If there are children in the family, a visit to Lottemaa is almost compulsory. Estonia’s largest theme park, Lottemaa, is near Pärnu and is open during the summer school holidays and at Christmas. Children can meet Lotte and her friends, take part in workshops, explore the Inventors’ Village and enjoy the shows.
The Lottemaa theme park has a variety of themed houses, such as Lotte’s games house, Oskar’s crafting shed and the Rabbits’ house of tricks and illusions. You can meet the residents of the Inventors’ Village and craft and play with them. Lottemaa also has an adventure park, a beach and all sorts of fun inventions.
The theme park is great in sunny and rainy weather alike — activities take place both outdoors and indoors. There is easily enough to do for a whole day.
One of the natural pearls of Pärnu county is Soomaa National Park, which offers experiences for big and small. In Soomaa you can look for beaver tracks and walk with alpacas. The alpaca farm is home to almost 200 animals — besides alpacas you can see llamas, guanacos, sheep and guinea pigs.
The national park is full of natural discoveries: canoe trips on the rivers, hiking routes through bog and forest, and a silence that is hard to find in the city. On the way to Kabli you can take a lovely hike in the Tolkuse bog. Soomaa is a place where children can feel like true explorers.
For adventure-hungry families, Valgeranna Adventure Park is the ideal choice. With its beautiful sea view, Valgeranna Adventure Park suits everyone looking for excitement and new challenges. The park has 6 high-rope courses where you can climb among the trees and tackle obstacles.
The park is right by the sea at Valgeranna, so after the treetop adventures you can stretch out on the beach and enjoy the sea views.
No family holiday in Pärnu county is complete without Pärnu beach — the water here is fairly shallow, so it suits little ones well. There are also cafés on the beach where you can buy water, ice cream and a bite to eat, and beach chairs are available to rent.
The best playgrounds in Pärnu are in Munamäe park, Vallikäär, Vanapark and on Pärnu beach. The town also has museums, craft workshops and plenty of family-friendly places to eat — an ideal afternoon stroll before the big evening experience.
When the day has been full of adventure, nature and happy noise, it is time to slow down a little. And what better ending to a family holiday in Pärnu county than a night in the glamping tents of Allikukivi Winery?
In our historic manor park, cosy glamping tents await you — spacious, comfortable and in the middle of nature. Parents can enjoy the manor’s history and the berry wines made on site on a guided wine tour, while discovery games in the historic park await the children. Dinner on the terrace with local food and birdsong in the background.
Glamping is open from June to August. Book your place early!
