ENTERTAINMENT AND SERVICE

 

    The Museum has established a personal enterprise “Anyksciai”, which gives a riding service, sells souvenirs and publications about Anyksciai.
     
    Tourists can ride a horse or get into a horse-carriage “brickele” or “lineika” and take a ride not only in the territory of the Museum, but also down the romantic 12 kilometres-long Stallion Path along the banks of the river Sventoji.
     
    Children like this Museum more than grown-ups. They cannot forget their meeting with the pony Mustangas and donkey Ausiukas as well as their first riding. Also they can enjoy themselves in the playground with the merry-go-round and an original swing.
     
    A private café “Pasagele” invites you and your family to taste national food or to have a cup of coffee in cosy surroundings.
     
    Schoolchildren attend a private riding club “Akela”, where they train and take part in national competitions in the racecourse.
     
    Since the foundation of the Museum in 1978 every year on the first weekend in June everybody is welcomed to the traditional festival of folklore and sports “Run, Stallion, Run”. Crowds of people come to it to look at stallions, to see carts, harness which are decorated with hand - made horse-cloth. People enjoy looking at ancient trades, take part in various contests (horse-shoeing, harnessing, ploughing, etc.) All day ethnographical groups dance and sing, people take part in a folk art fair.
