How to get to Hiiumaa?
Want to come to Viscosa but not sure how to get here? First, you need to make it across the sea to Hiiumaa island. If your friend’s speedboat or your grandpa’s helicopter happens to be in the shop, you can always do what the locals do and take the ferry.
The ferry comfortably fits buses, cars, motorbikes and bicycles. And the vehicles that fit best are the ones with a ticket bought in advance — the earlier, the better! On a clear day, you might be treated to a stunning sea view, letting the routines of the mainland fall away as you step onto the island with an open mind, ready for either adventure or rest.
If you want to get here extra fast, fly in! And if the weather plays along, the view from the window is stunning.
It doesn’t matter whether you arrive in Heltermaa or Kalana – all roads lead to Viscosa.
Hiiumaa has been reached, now what? It all depends on whether you want to get to Viscosa by a more direct route, or take a detour?
If you are coming to Hiiumaa by car, you can set your own route and, if you have the right equipment, print Viscosa Cultural Factory as your destination, there is no other place with that name in Hiiumaa or anywhere else in the world!
If you left your car on the other side of the sea or arrived by plane, you can take a regular bus, hire a car on the island or hire a taxi.

The Sooster School

Tuhandenäoline kangelane
Who knows who Joseph Campbell is? I don’t know either. And yet we’ve all seen one or two movies in our lives where the hero leaves home, goes on the most amazing adventures, and returns as the keeper of a secret.
TEOTEATER
Abielutunnistus
is a commemorative document in Estonia. In Israel, however, parents’ marriage certificates must be submitted to the rabbinate, because only then is it possible to get married before a rabbi. But what happens if the marriage certificate is lost?
TEATER NUUTRUM
Mr. Ibrahim
On a street called Blue Street in a Parisian suburb, a special friendship begins between a little boy and an old spice merchant. Beginning with petty thefts and a dialogue that started with just one sentence a day, their friendship develops into a deep mutual understanding and a shared philosophy of life.
TEATER NUUTRUM
Venus in a Fur Coat
David Ives’s play tells the story of a meeting between director Thomas and actress Vanda at an audition, which turns into a showdown in which reality and pretense become blurred, and the question “Who will come out on top?” has a different answer each time.
LENDTEATER
Erik ja Anna
Erik and Anna have been friends since kindergarten—for nearly 40 years—and it seems that nothing can break their friendship.
Who doesn’t dream of love—the one and only true love!? Is it possible to turn friendship and love into marriage?
PIIP AND TUUT
Kontserdil
In the play, the clowns Piip and Tuut play the roles of two janitors who have been asked to clean up the hall after the concert. This time, they arrive early so they can enjoy the concert themselves, but they accidentally end up on stage.
PIIP JA TUUT PÜSTIJALAKOMÖÖDIAS
ANIMALS
Piip and Tuut Theater’s stand-up comedy show for families, featuring a few contemporary stories that sound like fairy tales and a couple of age-old tales that feel very modern.
PIIP AND TUUT
Spaghetti
Meisterkokk ja tema abikokk teavad väga täpselt, kuidas itaaliapäraseid spagette õigesti valmistada. Aga kõik keeratakse köögis peapeale, kui külla tuleb näljane ja veidra olemisega naaber.
PIIP AND TUUT
Uncle Nightingale
Uncle Ööbik is a man unlike any other, who acts like a little boy. He’s very conspicuous—and I mean that quite literally—because he does most things differently and stands out as a result.
IMPROTEATER IMPEERIUM
on stage with Kait Kalli
This time, the IMPEERIUM improv theater troupe takes the stage alongside Kait Kalli, putting the beloved actress in unexpected situations. The show features sketches created on the spot, humorous characters, captivating scenes, hit songs, and much more.

The Adventures of Juhani the Skeleton
Grandpa and Grandma have already told all their stories a thousand times, and now they sit in silence, going about their business and trying not to get on each other’s nerves. But luckily, there’s a lone skeleton in their closet that comes to life.

Admission to the exhibition is with a joint exhibition ticket.

Yard
Out in Viscosa’s yard, you can simply wander around, lounge in beanbags, watch the swallows, build sandcastles, eat ice cream, chat with your parents about the weather, swing — and practise your cycling skills on the pumptrack.
Creative Lab
The Creative Lab is a hands-on makers’ workshop where kids can build and create with an instructor’s guidance — through workshops or day camps. Think of it as the family craft cupboard and garage rolled into one… just cooler.
