From the depths of the ages, a legend about the Snow Maiden has reached us, and the great Russian playwright Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky set her story in Kostroma, creating a spring fairy tale play. Since then, Kostroma has become the fairy-tale homeland of the Snow Maiden.

In the city center, there is the Residence of the Snow Maiden and the Academy of Snowy Wonders. Here, you can find an interactive Room of Wonders, where the Russian Snow Maiden has gathered many fairy-tale marvels and is ready to reveal the secrets of magic. There are also unique educational and entertainment programs for everyone, a post office where you can send a letter through a magical conveyor to a fairy-tale mailbox, and order a greeting from the Snow Maiden for any holiday. In the magic laboratory, everyone can create a miracle with their own hands, and in the gift shop, you can find products from Kostroma artisans, unique souvenirs, and gifts for friends.
