Snegurochka's Terem
Терем Снегурочки
The official home of Snegurochka, the Snow Maiden of Russian fairy tales. This timber tower has an ice house and interactive shows, making it ideal for families.
Kostroma is regarded as the homeland of the fairy-tale character Snegurochka, granddaughter of Grandfather Frost, and this timber tower-style “Snegurochka's Terem” is her official residence. Visits run in timed sessions. An actress playing the Snow Maiden leads guests through the rooms, tells stories and runs games. There is also an ice house kept below freezing all year round, where visitors can wear thick capes and try drinks served in ice cups. It suits families, and from December to January advance booking is required.
