Snegurochka’s Terem

Her traditional Russian wooden house, where the Snow Maiden of folklore is said to live Kostroma is called the homeland of the Snegurochka: it was here that Alexander Ostrovsky reinterpreted the ancient myth of the Slavic goddess Kostroma and embodied it in the image of a delicate winter heroine. During interactive excursions, children listen to Berendey legends, watch puppet shows, and take part in games. The real highlight of the Terem is the “Ice Room” with carved figures, an ice bar, and warm zipuns (traditional outer garments) for visitors. In the courtyard, quests are held, birthday children get special programs, and in the souvenir shop you can find toys and handmade items by Kostroma artisans.
