You can learn many interesting things about the city, about the legends of Yaroslavl's founding, about the first toy bears, about the origin of the name Winnie-the-Pooh and much more. An entrance ticket costs 200 rubles, a reduced ticket 150 rubles, and guided-tour service for groups of up to 20 people costs 500 rubles. The museum has a small souvenir shop and a tea room, and also hosts workshops and birthday parties.
