The Open Air Museum is out of town and is not a place for people rushing to see Tallinn for the first time but if you want to relax away for the city, this is the place. The grounds are beautiful, and on both occasions that I have been the museum was not crowded. The guides may not all speak... more

It's a really nice place to spend a few hours, and they really did a good job at ensuring there are descriptions about the houses and buildings. There's not a massive amount to see, but gives a good idea of what it was like and on a nice day it's just a great way to be outdoors. more

Quite OK

This museum was one of the attractions that I was really looking forward to. In the descriptions it seems like a really intresting place. I have to admit that I was a little disappointed. In the beginning it was great, and I loved to read about at look in and around the old houses. But after some time, I felt... more

It isn't easy to get to this attraction, and it doesn't open until noon. We walked around a bit, but there really wasn't much there to do and see- I don't recommend it if you don't have time for this and old town- old town is lovely!!! more

We went to this open air museum and rented some bikes. It really is an amazing place and gives you insights on what a 5th Century Estonian village was like... it's amazing and well kept. There's a restaurant kind of in the middle of it where you can have great beer, typical Estonian lentil soup and a hearty fish meal. more

Lovely!

We recently returned from a trip to Tallinn and after visiting the open air museum in Stockholm and being from Wales (St. Fagan's), we could'nt not go to the open air museum there! We had a lovely time, it's a very large, peaceful place which borders along the coast and is chock full of trees, particularly oak which are significant... more
