Võhma: Railway, Festivals and Pet Park

Võhma offers a range of ways to enjoy a stay: local history connected to the railway, two event formats, and opportunities for animal watching and exploring the town. Each offers a different focus. The historical perspective, a specific festival and an activity such as visiting the Pet Park appeal to different interests. Consider whether local history, an event date or a particular activity should be the main focus of your trip.

History, Railway and Events

Võhma came into being after the railway was completed in 1900, near the station on the territory of the village of Võhma. The railway is therefore part of the town’s history. The railway is also relevant to travel planning: Võhma is listed in the Tallinn–Viljandi Express fare table for 2025–2026. These historical and fare references address different questions—the town’s origins on the one hand and planning a journey on the other. Check the current timetable before travelling.

The Võhma Flower Day and Plant Market (Võhma lillepäev ja taimelaat) was held in Võhma for the 15th time in 2026. The Võhma Town Days (Võhma linnapäevad) have grown from a one-day festival into a lively weekend event. The two events have different time references: a specific edition in 2026 is mentioned for the market, while the Town Days are described in terms of their development from a one-day festival into a weekend event. If a festival is the reason for your trip, check the specific event dates and plan your stay accordingly.

Animal Watching and Exploring the Town

At the Võhma Pet Park, you can watch rabbits, duck families, guinea pigs and other small animals; admission is free. Animal watching is the focus here—a different emphasis from a festival or local history. Free admission is also a practical consideration when planning your stay.

A miniature train ride around Võhma can be booked to explore the town’s sights. Compared with the Pet Park, the focus shifts from watching specific animals to exploring the town. This offers two distinct ways to spend a visit: watch small animals or explore the town’s sights. If the miniature train ride is important to your plans, arrange it in advance. The options also differ in practical terms: admission to the Pet Park is free, while a miniature train ride can be booked. Your choice therefore depends not only on your interests but also on whether you prefer a free visit or a bookable activity.

This gives you a clear distinction when choosing when to travel: for events, the dates are the key consideration; for the Pet Park and miniature train, choose according to your interests.
