Interactive sculpture parks across Lithuania are quickly becoming family favourites – and for good reason. These parks are more than places to admire art from a distance. Instead, visitors can touch, listen, play, and become part of an educational experience. Children especially love that the sculptures move, make sounds, or even tell stories. As a result, an ordinary walk in nature becomes a fun and adventurous journey.
The most impressive interactive sculpture parks in Lithuania that kids love – this guide introduces some of the most interesting parks in the country. Each park feels like a separate world with its own wonders. In one park, wooden sculptures come to life and play music. In another, sculptures speak with voices. Children can also become fairy tale characters or search for hidden surprises. These unique parks combine nature, creativity, folklore, and modern technology. They create spaces that children will want to visit again and again.
Not just to look: the most impressive interactive sculpture parks in Lithuania that kids love
A. Česnulis Sculpture Park in Druskininkai
We have visited Druskininkai many times, but this time we discovered something truly special. Just a few kilometres from the resort, there is an extraordinary place that, in our opinion, far too few people know about. A. Česnulis Sculpture Park in Druskininkai is not an ordinary sculpture park. As you walk among the trees, the sculptures begin to move, play music, and seem to come alive. The entire park feels like a separate world created by the artist. The park combines Lithuanian folklore, history, nature, and the imagination of folk artist and woodcarver Antanas Česnulis. Here, you can meet various characters and see huge wooden compositions.
However, the biggest feature of A. Česnulis Sculpture and Recreation Park is its interactivity. You cannot simply walk past the wooden sculptures and look at them. Instead, you can set some artworks in motion. Others make sounds or play music. The wooden figures seem to start living their own lives in front of visitors. That is why the park is especially interesting for families with children. Children are not just observers of an art exhibition here. They can come closer, discover what happens, and look for the next surprise.

Šakalinio Park in Vilnius District
A new and unique park has opened in Lithuania, and it is sure to amaze children. This is Šakalinio Park – a magical world of fairy tale characters near Vilnius. Among the pine trees, you will discover living fairy tale characters, talking sculptures, mysterious houses, educational trails, and many unexpected activities for children.
What makes Šakalinio Park particularly impressive is that it is not simply another playground or family entertainment venue. Instead, it is a carefully created forest world where fairy tales literally come to life. When you approach the sculptures, they speak, move, and make sounds. Children become part of the story itself. You will also find an impressive pine forest and a huge playground. There are also barefoot and mud trails, a forest school, fallow deer, and many small surprises. The park can amaze and delight the whole family.
When you arrive, a magical path winds through the forest. Along the way, you see familiar fairy tale characters, houses, and installations among the pine trees. Some sculptures speak, while others move or make sounds. Winnie-the-Pooh enjoys his honey near one cottage, while the story of Hansel and Gretel awaits nearby. At their house, you can hear Hansel calling for help.
This is more than a row of sculptures. Instead, the entire space takes you through a fairy tale forest where children become part of the story.

Klaipėda Sculpture Park
Another place that pleasantly surprised us was Klaipėda Sculpture Park. In spring 2026, as many as 25 sculptures in the park “started speaking”. QR codes have been installed next to them. By scanning them, visitors can listen to audio stories in Lithuanian or English.
The sculptures tell visitors about their symbolism, their creators, and the history of Klaipėda. Therefore, an ordinary walk becomes a kind of open-air lesson in art, history, and discovering the city. Our children also really enjoyed the playground in the park. As a result, this location is perfect for families. Parents can enjoy art and peace, while children can explore, listen, and play.

Palanga Fairy Tale Park
Not everyone knows that Palanga also has a Lithuanian fairy tale park. Here, you can not only “touch” fairy tales but also hear them. Located in a pine forest near Birutė Park and the “Kupeta” arts and entertainment club, this leisure space covers almost two hectares, and it attracts visitors of all ages.
The park features sculptures by artists Andrius Petkus, with the fairy tale “The Fox and the Pitcher”, Algis Kasparavičius, with “I Tell, I Tell a Fairy Tale”, Gediminas Mažintas, with “The Bean”, and Rolandas Šmitas, with “The Sun and the Moon”. These sculptures are based on Lithuanian fairy tale motifs. You can admire every sculpture, but you can also “try it out”. For example, children can climb on them, turn individual parts, or play in other ways.
An information board stands next to each sculpture. Visitors can read the fairy tale there. In addition, they can press a special button and listen to the story being told aloud. The stories are available in both Lithuanian and English. Therefore, the park can be interesting for both local families and international visitors.
