Tytuvėnai Regional Park Directorate
The centre on Miško Street
The centre operates at 3 Miško Street in Tytuvėnai. It is a separate park-information and interpretation building, not part of the monastery, Gilius Lake, or the observation towers.
Staff can advise on sites, routes, and services across the protected area, making this a useful first stop before exploring the park’s lakes, woods, and wetlands.
From a Crane’s Flight
A crane connects the exhibition story: visitors encounter a film, interpretations of a crane nest and beaver lodge, and recordings of bird calls. This is specifically about Tytuvėnai Regional Park rather than a general nature museum.
Another section displays objects lifted by recreational divers from Gilius and Bridvaišis lakes, linking wildlife interpretation with human traces left in the water.
Education and onward routes
The centre offers Forest Kingdom, a programme about forest ecosystems, forestry, birds, and mythic forest beings. Dates and participation must be arranged in advance.
After the centre, choose one clear direction such as Gilius Lake or the towers. This turns information from the exhibition into features visible in the landscape.
Seasonal opening hours
From April to September the centre is open Tuesday–Friday 09:00–18:00 and Saturday 10:00–15:00. From October to March, Tuesday–Friday hours are 08:00–17:00 and Saturday hours are 10:00–15:00.
Monday and Sunday are rest days, and the centre is normally closed on public holidays except during events. Schedules can change, so check them before travelling.
Accessibility and assistance
The centre has wide doors and an adapted toilet, but the lift is currently out of service. As a result, not every part of the exhibition may be equally accessible.
Contact the centre before travelling if step-free access or assistance is essential. The map point marks the building entrance, not the centre of the wider park.
Visit length and practical planning
Allow 45–90 minutes for the exhibition and conversation with staff. Time spent later at a lake or tower should be planned separately.
Arrange education programmes and larger-group visits in advance. If step-free access or individual assistance is important, discuss it with the centre before arrival.
