Lottemaa Christmas Wonderland

Lotte Village, a theme park inspired by the popular “Lotte from Gadgetville” film series, just outside of Pärnu is turning into a wintery Christmas wonderland this holiday season. On select weekends and extended weekends, the park will be open from 15:00 to 19:00. The whole family can experience how the “villagers” have decorated their homes, and the activities that they will be hosting.
There will be Christmasy plays each day, as well as concerts. The entire village will be decorated with holiday lights and other festive decorations. And even if you’ve been to Lottemaa, as it’s known in Estonian, there will be an illuminated path taking visitors to a secret part of the village that you haven’t seen before.
The Lotte film series is a beloved movie franchise in Estonia and abroad. Particularly popular are the original songs for the movies. These songs, holiday songs, and some new songs will be performed and played throughout Lotte Village during these events. Visitors can also play games with Lotte herself, and meet Gadgetville’s very own Santa—named Wolfgang!
Whatever the weather, there will be warm and refreshing foods and drinks at the Lotte Village Café, and Anna’s Pancake House. Tickets and more information are available here. The Lotte Village theme park is located only a few minutes’ drive south of Pärnu.
