Feel the Need for Speed at Porsche Ring
If your group is fueled by thrills, take them to the Porsche Ring – the only permanent racing circuit in the Baltics with an FIA Grade 4 license. Test your skills on the rallycross and off-road tracks, or jump into a Porsche 911 Carrera S for the popular “5 Laps” experience. Want something longer? Try “Nano Endurance” with a Toyota GT86. You can even bring your own car or just enjoy the races from the stands.
Say Cheers to Cider Tasting
Take a deep dive into Estonia’s craft cider scene. Visit Jaanihanso Cider House, a charming family-run orchard and cidery, or Tori Cider Farm for an immersive tasting session. Both offer curated experiences tailored to your group – complete with tastings, tours, and meet-the-maker moments. At Jaanihanso, cider is crafted like champagne and served in a rustic-modern tasting room that fits up to 150 guests. Yes, there’s a terrace. Yes, there’s an orchard. Yes, it’s as delightful as it sounds.
Paintball with a Twist: Enter the Minibus
Just 10 minutes from the city center, 5 hectares of open-air paintball action await. Go classic – or crank up the chaos with Motor Paintball, where teams take cover (or attack!) from inside a minibus. Think tactical chaos meets Estonian countryside.
Escape the Soviet Prison – Literally
What was once a real Soviet prison is now one of the biggest escape room complexes in Northern and Eastern Europe. Expect mind-bending puzzles, eerie corridors, and a serious dose of adrenaline. All within walking distance of downtown Pärnu.
Fishing Adventures on the River and Bay of Pärnu
Pärnu offers the perfect setting for an exciting fishing trip – whether you’re a seasoned angler or just trying it for fun. The Pärnu Fishing Taxi organises guided fishing tours on the Pärnu River and Bay, complete with a local fishing guide, a comfortable motorboat, and all the necessary equipment and safety gear. Depending on the season, you might reel in perch, zander, bream, roach, or pike.
In winter, the experience gets even cooler – quite literally. Anglers are taken safely across the frozen bay in a specially equipped amphibious vehicle to the best ice-fishing spots for perch. An unforgettable Estonian experience, year-round.
Create & Wear Your Own Style
Unleash your creativity in a fun and relaxed T-shirt design workshop by Black Giraffe. Perfect as a break-out activity or a post-meeting wind-down, this workshop lets every participant design and print their very own one-of-a-kind T-shirt. It’s hands-on, it’s expressive, and everyone leaves not only with a personalised shirt, but also with new skills and unforgettable memories. A great way to spark team spirit and take home a wearable souvenir!
Wine Not? Discover Local Berries in a Glass
Just a 10-minute drive from Pärnu, near the peaceful Audru area, you’ll find Valgeranna Wine Barn (Veinitall) — a charming, rustic horse stable turned wine-tasting haven. Estonia’s fruit wines are typically crafted from berries and other local fruits, and here, you’ll get to experience the best of them.
Run by the trendy urban winery Mamm & Frukt, this cozy tasting room offers a delightful journey through Estonian wine culture. Sample up to seven handcrafted wines, each made from a different berry, while learning about the unique production methods, flavor profiles, and stories behind the bottles.
Estonia’s berry wines may surprise you — and they’re definitely not to be missed.

Kihnu Island – Estonia’s Cultural Gem
