Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Huge water park featuring thrilling slides & waves, as well as more relaxing bathhouses & saunas.
Slide 1 of 8
Visiting this water park was a dream come true — first because of its unique Soviet-era architecture, and second because it turned out to be a really fun water park as well! Our favorite part was the jumping ball in one of the pools. Definitely worth a visit!
Although quite old, it's clean and almost everything is in working condition. A good option is quieter and less crowded saunas area.
We return for the past 3 years to enjoy the most amazing pools, slides, saunas, steam rooms and the best coffee in the morning. It’s not just the facilities but the quality of water in all facilities is magical and the skin feels baby soft after swimming. My daughter had a very rough feeling skin and after just spending 3 days swimming it’s back to feeling so smooth and soft. We usually go for basic 2 rooms next to each other since we are family of 6 and they are fine with comfortable beds and great everyday cleaning service to keep all tidy. Even though we are returning not the first time we never get bored and always looking forward to enjoy and explore magnificent Druskininkai town and the surroundings.
Sauna area it is really attractive. A fantastic thing is that entry there is from the age of 18. In addition, in the sauna area you can, for an extra fee, book a private sauna for two. You should also check out the special programs held every hour in some of the saunas. Unfortunately, you will never find all the saunas operating at once – one or several are always closed. The rest of the water park is completely basic and ordinary, just like other water parks.
Really nice place — lots of fun and everything looks great inside. The only downside was that it felt a bit too cold and there were quite a lot of people for a Monday. Still a cool experience overall and worth visiting!
A day well spent! It's one of the best thing you can do while in Druskininkai. We took 4hrs tickets including Sauna and it's worth it. Water slides were good and exciting! Total 6 different levels, and 140 meter length was the longest and craziest. Other side pool bar, jacuzzi and Sauna! All perfect. Drinking beer while enjoying the temperature controlled pool was great and relaxing. And Sauna. Overall had a great experience.
We had an amazing time at this place. The best part is adults areas early morning around 10 am and evening after 8 pm.
Great experience. Kids loved it. We had a lot more kids than adults so it was a bit different to visit everything as adults must accompany children everywhere. We booked two hours but it was not enough. Three would have been perfect. We booked adult saunas but it was a bit of waste of money as we had no time to go, kids wanted to go everywhere. Otherwise great facilities, clean and nice.

Park
Nature & Parks
Sculpture garden with salvaged Soviet-era statues & propaganda monuments, plus a playground & a zoo.
Slide 1 of 8
We stopped at the park not expecting much. It was actually pretty good with a forested area full of soviet sculptures. Plus some more recent art. There is a restaurant. It was €15 euros to get in and €1.50 for the toilet if you didn't use the cafe. At the back is a small zoo with bears,birds, guinea pigs, etc and a large playground. Interesting
An eerie place where you can almost feel the soviet spirit conserved in a confined space. In a way, the animals trapped in the zoo symbolize the experience of Homo Sovieticus: you are in the middle of nowhere, kind of safe, but neither very healthy nor warm or happy. P.S. Be aware: Lenin is everywhere!
The park and statures were great. Heaps to check out in the exhibitions; an excellent way to remind people of their past. Saw a lot of numbers clearly marking items of interest; would have appreciated a map or audio guide to enhance the experience. Why only 3 stars? Please please please get that bear to a sanctuary. Or does t have enough space, nothing to climb, no enrichment (that we could see) and was pacing the entire time I was watching it. It absolutely broke my heart.
This is one of the places that really stood out and left a great impression. I thought it would just be a park with Soviet-era statues — and yes, it had those too. But I was pleasantly surprised to discover it’s also a zoo with so many different animals and activities. It exceeded my expectations, and I already want to visit the park again!
Many reports label this as a “Communist theme park”, giving a totally misleading impression. This is a beautifully-maintained collection of sculptures that were often seen in public squares during the Soviet era. Understandably, it’s tucked away in a remote location as it contains memories that most locals would rather not be reminded of. That’s because the statues aren’t just of Lenin and Stalin, but also of traitors that collaborated and benefitted by working for the occupying regime. This is well worth a detour, though; especially if you’re interested in this dark period of modern history.
Huge area for adults and kids - beautiful surroundings and a small zoo with bears, goats, ostriches, kangaroos, lamas, rabbits, hundreds of birds including few albino individuals. It is a bit abstract, that all the soviet monuments ended up around here! Despite the weird theme combination - we enjoyed it a lot!
Not only important part of history but also absolutely stunningly maintained and designed experience taking you back. All of the animals are really well looked after and healthy - seems quite a few rescues which is a positive
Not very conveniently located but well worth the drive. They have done an incredible job balancing giving these historical relics a respectable home while setting the context around the atrocities committed by the Soviets. You can easily spend several hours here.

We liked this place. Music and fountain in the evening is great idea. The garden well decorated and clean. There is a toilet, a lot of street souvenir stores and hotels of course. The park is beautifull. A good place for families with children.
The night show is incredible. Unfortunately, the option to choose the music didn’t work, but it’s still a beautiful experience. The park is very clean, and a bike ride along the river is fantastic.
Wonderful! The kids loved the big stone ball that rolled in the water base. Lovely place to sit and relax, although on Saturday evening there was quite a lot of people there so some had to stand.
Acidentally walked by to enjoy the show, then we discovered you can buy songs form 3€. Very nice and quiet place at night to enjoy music and light show.
This fountain is gods gift to the world. You can select some songs to be played on it for €3 and watch vibes emerge. Among the songs are - Shum - I will always love you - Irish national anthem Free to just hang out, and calm fountain otherwise, with some tunes playing. There’s also a huge ball that spins freely that you can push Will come again
Cool place and day and night. You can order music to the rhythm of which the hayrides will work. Plus a pretty cool ball that is able to keep the kids occupied for a while. At night, an additional role is played by lighting in which the mist produced by the fountain looks superb.
The center of Druskininkai. The most popular place in town, where playing music and there are many benches. People like to come here in the evenings and have rest, relaxing near water in the summer. Besides, in winter, it's decorated with illumination. That's beautiful too.
The location is beautiful and attractive for families, young people of all age. The beauty comes alive at night when the you can see the full synchronisation of the music, lighting and fountain serenade the audience. Wow 👌

Ski resort
Outdoor Activities
Winter sport complex featuring indoor & outdoor ski tracks, plus equipment rentals & food.
Slide 1 of 8
A fantastic place for lovers of alpine skiing and snowboarding. A unique opportunity to ski on a great slope in the summer! It is not surprising that professional ski teams come here to train in the summer from Italy, Austria and other countries (their part of the track is separated). During the break for rest and food, the skiing time stops and resumes again with the exit to the slope. Good ski equipment for rent, including ski clothing. Professional, responsive staff.
Cool concept, but the terrible service ruins the experience. I really wanted to love this place. The facility itself is great—it's amazing to be able to snowboard indoors any time of the year. The 500m slope is decent for casual runs, the snow is fine, and the rentals are reasonably priced. However, the experience was ruined by the extremely bad customer service at reception desk by a woman. She makes you feel unwelcome, acting even hostile. She have a "customer is always wrong" attitude that is completely unacceptable at the reception/welcome desk. It's very frustrating to be treated poorly when you're just trying to have a good day. The fact that the security team also doesn't speak English just adds to the difficulty. The facility is a 4/5, but the service is a 0/5. I cannot recommend it until the management trains their staff to be respectful and helpful.
Unfortunately, my experience with the receptionist (a blonde woman) was quite unpleasant. She was noticeably unhelpful, unfriendly, and seemed irritated by even the simplest questions. Rather than offering a warm welcome or basic assistance, her attitude gave the impression that guests were more of a nuisance than anything else. This left a bad first impression and negatively affected my overall stay, which is a shame because the rest of the staff and the environment were quite nice. I expected a higher level of professionalism from someone working at the front desk.
Second time here and thankful for the blessing of having the venue just 320km away from home. We had ski race team weekend camp here ahead of Baltic Cup, so we used only the competitive ice slope, which is very demanding, challenging and fun at he same time. Thanks for the good job. I wish you a million of happy customers. ❤️
rarely write long reviews, but I feel this one is well-deserved. Our recent visit to Snow Arena in Druskininkai was completely overshadowed by the unprofessional and unpleasant behavior of one particular staff member — a blonde woman working at the reception desk. Her attitude alone was enough to make sure we’ll never return, and it’s important others are aware of what to expect. From the very beginning, her demeanor was cold, dismissive, and, frankly, rude. We approached the reception desk with perfectly normal questions about entry, rentals, and how the process works for first-time visitors. She barely looked up, didn’t greet us, and answered everything with either a sigh, a sarcastic tone, or no words at all — just a finger pointing vaguely in some direction. We weren’t being difficult. We weren’t demanding. We were simply asking for information in a polite and friendly way. But her facial expression made it clear: she wasn’t interested in helping us. She acted like we were wasting her time, and even seemed annoyed that we didn’t magically know how everything worked. Her entire body language screamed arrogance and disinterest — arms crossed, eyes half-rolled, impatient tapping on the desk, and an expression like we were interrupting something more important. What made it worse was that while we were still standing there waiting for help, she casually turned to chat with her colleague as if we didn’t exist. It’s one thing to have a bad day. Everyone has them. But this wasn’t just bad energy — it was straight-up hostile service. I’ve worked in customer service before, and I can say with confidence: she should not be working at the front desk of any public attraction. First impressions matter, and she created a cold, unwelcome atmosphere from the moment we walked in. To be honest, the Snow Arena itself is not bad. The slopes are okay, the idea is good, and the space is clean. But none of that matters when the very first person you meet makes you feel like a burden. Other visitors around us seemed just as confused and frustrated. I noticed one couple quietly whispering to each other, clearly uncomfortable after interacting with her. Another guest asked her a question in English and was met with an eye-roll and a muttered reply that barely qualified as an answer. This wasn’t just our experience — it seemed to be a pattern. I honestly don’t understand how management allows someone with such a poor attitude to be the face of their operation. If you’re running a ski arena — especially one that attracts international visitors — the least you can do is train your receptionists to be friendly, helpful, and professional. This blonde receptionist had none of those qualities. It was almost like she went out of her way to be as unhelpful as possible. We ended up cutting our visit short. The negative energy at the entrance completely ruined the excitement we had coming in. It didn’t feel like a place where guests were valued. It felt like a place where we were simply tolerated — or worse, ignored. In conclusion, I would not recommend Snow Arena to anyone unless they completely change their approach to customer service. That blonde receptionist should be retrained, reassigned, or replaced. A facility with this much potential shouldn’t be dragged down by one person’s bad attitude — but in our case, that’s exactly what happened. I truly hope the management reads this and takes action, because until that happens, I’ll be telling others to avoid this place. There are better, friendlier alternatives elsewhere — where customers are actually treated with respect.
An unusual scenic place, a beautifully meandering Nemunas. An additional attraction is getting here by cable car over the pine trees and the river. A certain challenge for those who are afraid of heights is to reach the terrace on the openwork terrace :)
Place for indoor skiing with professional instructors for small and big alike. There is indoor playground for kids, but control for kids is too lax, especially when there are big groups of kids there. Nice views from Aerogallery restaurant- worth visiting.
Guys, everything was nice, just be careful with the small kids when you'll climb up to the snow tower, on the top area of it! DO NOT LET kids go alone to the RIGHT side when you'll get to the balcony through the last one door! Because there's an area in the fence where are huge gaps where kids can easily go through and then... Fall all the way down :( Hopefully that will be fixed after this review , but when I was there, there's was no one around, no restriction signs and no problem to get to that place . Turn left and you'll see stunning views in absolutely safe mode, you'll feel like you're on top of Amazon rainforest, I was stunned by that even if that's my own country :) I wasn't inside the snow area as I never trust the ski sport... Saw too many broken bones after that :/

Fun attraction! We use cablecar at least 4-5 times per year, and each time (and season of the year) it is amazing! Best way to do it: go from Druskininkai to Snow arena (one way), climb to the Snow Arena observation deck, take some pictures there, go down, have some coffee at the Snow Arena coffee shop, and go back to Druskininkai on foot - there is a quality walking path through the forest to the city centre (2.s5 kilometers).
Nice ride over the forest and river, doesn't go much in hight, only 20 meter different between bottom and top stations. Can see whole town at the start, but once at the top, it's best to just go back down straight away as there's nothing to see, because trees are covering all the view and not high enough to look down, no observation platform. This is what my friend told me. Cost was 7 euros.
Great journey to other side of the river. The snow park was temporary closed, but we wanted to walk in the forest. It was wonderfull time and weather.
Doesn't take too long nor go too high. Unfortunately the observation tower was closed at the top. We got a 1 way ticket and walked back on a tarmacadam path all the way down thru the woods, was excellent. Managed to find some wild mushrooms on the way
Nice way to reach snow arena, but a little bit boring. No elevation so going just over the trees. Only one thing nice is a river.
Beautiful views of the nature, forest, river. Panoramic views are really great. It connects town center with "Snow arena" so you also win as no need for a round travel and you reach destination in less than 10 minutes. It could go a bit slower so you could enjoy the ride longer. Very happy that I tried this.
Very nice trip with the cable car up to the mountain, where you find a café, indoor skiing and a viewpoint. If you arrive in Druskininkai from Kaunas by bus, you also get a discount.
Fantastic, my hight fear is checked!!! Beautiful views, over the river Neris and pine forest!! Bargain price too. And definitely try freshest ice cream at Snow Arena-pistachio and coconut ones are to die for!!!! !!!

Absolutely beautiful park in the middle of the woods. Amazing sculptures and we even got to meet the artist. Strongly recommend to go there with Lithuanian, family, friend or guide who can tell you the stories and history on which many of these sculptures are based. This was a fantastic education in rich Lithuanian history, culture, and folklore.
Wonderful place to visit, must do if you are in the area. Lots of love put into making this place special. Met sculptor and his wife, who run this place, lots of items in exhibition, mainly wood work, but also metal work. Toilets available, only small car park on suite, not sure what to do when it's full. Ticket was 6 euros
A great place to visit near Druskininkai! I was really impressed by the scale and craftsmanship of the wooden sculptures — each one tells a story and reflects the region’s history and traditions. It’s just a short car or bus ride from Druskininkai, the ticket prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended for anyone interested in culture and local art!
Very interesting and unique place to visit. So many great sculptures and ideas and the territory is very nice. I was a bit hesitant at first to go there as I am not a fan of Jesus Christ sculptures carved from wood, but this place is so much more than that!
The nice lady that will sell you tickets at the entrance is portrayed in some of the statues (see here - the Florist picture), as she’s the sculptor’s wife :) The place is beautifully kept and looked after, but more than anything it’s a magical universe, reflecting the artist’s soul. The fact that you just get to walk through it is pretty amazing. If you get an invitation to peak at the sculptor working - he lives right there! And also works in his workshop - don’t skip it!!
Must see. Very beautiful , interesting and entertaining.
💯worth visiting! I’ve been here 14 years ago, and it amazed me back then very much. Today we made a chance to visit it once again, and I can honestly say that it is still astonishing! I would recommend to go with kids! Some sculptures are interactive! Applause for the sculptor, great work! 🫶🏻🥳
I wasn't expecting much, maybe some wooden sculptures in nature, but walking around this park was a whole experience! It's fun, it's unexpected, groovy, etno and many other things. See it to believe it :)
