Object list
The most exciting military theme park in the Baltic region is located in Valga. The motto of our location is “100 years related to military affairs”. It is a safe place for organising camps for children and youth with activities on the spot and outings to WWII battle grounds near the Väike-Emajõgi River. Participants can try their hand at making soldiers’ soup, using camouflage paints and orienteering in the forest.
The outdoor exhibition of the military theme park displays military equipment and artillery, an Mi-8 helicopter, fire engines, various types of machine gun nests and sea mines. Tours can end at a Forest Brothers’ bunker where upon prior booking adults are offered a Forest Brothers ritual. Serious military history fans can study the theme park’s museum with the largest collection of weapons in Estonia. The museum provides an overview of the activities of the Estonian Defence Forces, the Police and Border Guard Board, the Defence League and the Estonian Internal Security Service as well as our neighbours from Latvia – the Latvian Police, Border Guards and Rescue.
Description
Parking is available in front of the museum. The area is paved with asphalt. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket office, which is accessed via an entrance with stairs. We recommend contacting the museum in advance and visiting their website for up-to-date information. The museum staff is helpful and ready to support visitors with special needs. However, the environment has not been adapted for people with mobility impairments. Visitors with visual impairments benefit from tactile exhibits. An accompanying person, following the museum’s guidance, can provide additional explanations. A guided shooting simulation is also available.
The exhibition includes various video materials. These do not have subtitles. Additional written information is provided next to the doors of exhibition rooms. One room plays authentic wartime sounds from 1944, such as bomb explosions, tank movements, and gunfire. Another room plays military songs. Currently, there is no induction loop system in place.
