We report on UBVRIZJsHKs-band photometry of the dark GRB 000210 host galaxy .
Fitting a grid of spectral templates to its Spectral Energy Distribution ( SED ) , we derived a photometric redshift ( z = 0.842 ^ { +0.054 } _ { -0.042 } ) which is in excellent agreement with the spectroscopic one ( z = 0.8463 \pm 0.0002 ; Piro et al .
2002 ) .
The best fit to the SED is obtained with a blue starburst template with an age of 0.181 ^ { +0.037 } _ { -0.026 } Gyr .
We discuss the implications of the inferred low value of A _ { V } and the age of the dominant stellar population for the non detection of the GRB 000210 optical afterglow .
