Estonian Open Air Museum

I would gladly give the place 6 stars. There is plenty to see and try out. It's set in a forest, so a pleasant walk in between buildings. There is a cafe with good food at a reasonable price. And as with most open-air museums, it's the volunteers and special events that bring the place to life. We saw a group of dancers dancing various traditional dances and they also got quite a few of us dancing along at the end. The volunteers in the rooms were enthusiastic, the old lady teaching us how to use stilts was especially enthusiastic.

A place worth visiting if you are in Tallinn. Nice to see how Estonians have been living during the years. Are is quite big so reserve at least two hours if your planning on going inside the buildings.

A beautiful place that takes you back to the distant and recent past. The entire area is very well maintained, in addition to the houses, shop, school or church, we recommend visiting the café, where it smells of cinnamon and coffee and dessert with a view of the sea were a nice addition to our trip to the Estonian past.

A must-see when visiting Tallinn! This is an atypical open-air museum set in nature, offering a fascinating glimpse into Estonian life. The setting is peaceful and bucolic, with a charming café inside. Definitely worth the trip!

The Estonian Open Air museum was a fantastic experience. Spent around 4 hours there until we checked every different lodging, from different times and parts of Estonia. The people working there were very knowledgeable and shared informations regarding the life in those time. The interactive house regarding what we can learn from people living back in the day was amazing, i would recommend to anyone, especially with kids. Also the communal apartments for Kolkhoz workers with the rooms from different timeperiods was also very cool.

Very nice outdoor museum. Visited in early March, so there were few people and plenty of room. Nice exhibits and landscape, and had a nice lunch at the cafeteria. Lots of walking, did about 9km during our visit, but there are bikes for rent as an alternative. Also wagons for children. Signposts were available in Estonian, English, German and Russian, except for the main map which was only marked in Estonian. It was easy enough to interpret with the symbols though.

Such a lovely and spacious collection of buildings covering the history of Estonian people and the influences had on them. A good 3 hours is needed to walk around the beautiful woodland. It’s very interactive and allows you to enter each dwelling and look at all the original decor and tools etc. There is cafe to try traditional Estonian dishes but be warned, when the kitchen closes you can’t even get a refill glass of water if you’re still eating! They stick to strict hours of service. The food was delicious though! Recommend the Fried Fish and the Vegetable Stew. Highly recommend a visit to get a real insight into Estonian history

Astounding :) The best recommendation place to bring your whole family, as well as a great learning while playing spot for your kids. I learnt tons of fun but shocking facts about the lifestyle of Estonians in the medieval era. Their perspective on home, farming, and herding work is pretty normal, but I focused on how they emphasised the value of it for their daily life. And for me, children these days have to know this. The wool workshop museum was my favourite because the insight was great, and I can't imagine people in the past could produce high-quality wool products with that traditional machinery. Lastly, the "Chicken in cream" I ordered from Kolu Korts is amazing. The portion was just perfect and the price was reasonable.
