About
Tartu Nature House is a small green oasis in the middle of the city and also the home of Tartu Environmental Education Centre. The innovative and sustainably built house offers environmental education and activities for the whole family. At the heart of the centre is the winter garden where you'll find various useful plant species as well as tortoises. In the animal room, you can meet various furry and feathered pets. The centre always has many different nature-themed exhibitions on display, including a permanent exhibition, which looks at different sustainable building options and in the play corner, you can even ride a bike to generate electricity. A beautiful park surrounds the centre, where visitors can familiarise themselves with different educational paths, a beaver dam meant for humans, gardens, a viewing platform and children's play areas. It is also possible to buy nature friendly souvenirs and gifts and visit the house with the help of a guide.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nice place for children to get information about nature in Estonia. This house is really nice itself with small park. I got some new information about beaver here. It seems to be lovely for locals

A well rounded and attractive place. Really sets the bar for other initiatives on the same subject. I wish to see one of these in every city of the world. Many schools or NGO's that focus on sustainability literacy have a hard time bringing their practices to fit modern requirements. This school gives you a clear solid idea of what it could mean to build with smarter practices TODAY. The greenhouse reminded me of Costa Rica. :D

Either summer or winter time, Tartu Nature House always welcomes the visitors with beautiful nature and natural products. They have educational programmes for children and adults, and you can also provide your new ideas of programmes! I have visited here every time I come to Tartu, Estonia from Tokyo, Japan and get relaxed to reflect my life.
