So, you are traveling to Estonia’s capital with your family and are planning to discover Medieval Old Town, beautiful virgin nature and indoor and outdoor adventure parks! Sounds great!
Tallinn has plenty of spots for you to explore, and what’s more, everything is just around the corner. Most museums in Tallinn are large and spacious, sights close-by, public transportation well thought through. In case you plan to keep your stay in the city, you probably won’t need a car at all. Little feet will have plenty of time discovering free public playgrounds that are carefully planted all over city.
If you are planning to sightsee in Old Town, keep in mind, that the cobblestones are beautiful, but not very stroller friendly. Probably the best places to visit to enjoy the atmosphere, as well as keep little feet entertained would be visiting specious viewing platforms (Patkuli, Kohtuotsa) or the Puppet Theatre or Miiamilla Children’s Museum in Kadriorg.
Here are our favorite public kids playgrounds in Tallinn:
1. On Reidi tee, near Russalka monument.
Take your time, you are probably not going anywhere next few hours. Don’t forget some warmer clothes, as playground is located all over promade by the sea and keep some change for the coffee and ice-cream on the way. Get there by public transport as car parking spaces are limited (cost for parking 0,01 €/minute = 0,60 €/h)
2. Stroomi playground located next to Stroomi beach.
It is pretty great on a good day – you can relax on the beach, rent a sup/ surf board or run around on the playground with your toddler - a good walk guaranteed! Accessible by public transport, foot and car, as well as by bike or scooter.
3. The newest and most adventurous is in Tondiraba park. It is huge and will be most enjoyed by children 4+. Probably best to get there by car.
4. Playgrounds in Kadriorg near Miiamilla museum are also super fun and what is best, are designed by age, so no need to worry that older kids will overrun your toddler. Get there on a tram or bus or walk if you are staying in city center, it's located near Russalka. The route could be combined with Reidi tee.
5. Local's favourite in Löwenruh park. Be prepared it is always crowded if it is not raining. Probably the easiest to access by any transportation. Nice grill restaurant in case you get hungry.

If your kids are into animals, you would be surprised how many different mini-zoo’s and farms are publicly open in Tallinn and in no more than 1h drive around it.

We suggest to check out Tallinn’s Zoo, which is great to discover with a stroller and will probably take you a good few hours by foot or to go to more private mini-zoo’s like Polli, Kuristu or even why not Viikingite küla.
In Viikingi küla you are greated by these furry little fellas. Beware of the cobblestones.
