Located in an old wooden building in the heart of Tartu’s Old Town, the Toy Museum transports its adult visitors back to their most joyous childhood days and offers children plenty to see and do. The permanent exhibit displays toys that children in Estonia have played with throughout the ages. The display also includes artist-made dolls, souvenir dolls from around the globe and traditional Finno-Ugric toys. The museum has play and workshop rooms, and the exhibit rooms also offer plenty to keep one busy. Alternating exhibits and children’s activities are organized at the museum. In Theatre House there is a theatre stage, Children’s Studio, and dollhouse museum. Theatre House is a unique theatre which gets its inspiration from the Toy Museum, childhood, games and memories.

Just wandering down the cobblestone street of Tallinn when we saw this amazing shop/Gallery!! Went in and was blown away by all the Marzipan sculptures!! We were told to go downstairs and have a look around as well. There we encountered more sculptures... life size, cartoon characters, buildings, animals.... we also were given some samples of Marzipan and being a lover of the stuff, we of course bought some!!! Worth the time to go and see.....!!

Excellent. Loads of hands-on exhibits and 99% of them actually worked (I've had previous experience of similar places where many were out of order). The 500 kV lightning demonstration was awesome. The kids loved the place and so did mom. Stayed there for almost three hours. A great destination for a day trip to Tallinn with the family, a short walk from the harbour or even shorter from the old town, just follow the big chimney. Ticket prices are very reasonable. There is also a small planetarium, but we didn't go there, there were so many other things to see. The only downside was that there was no cafe or anything like that, just ice cream on sale and vending machines with treats and tea/coffee. But there is a picnic area, bring a snack for the kids, they will get hungry exploring.
7. Sarev Theatre-Room
A branch of the Estonian Theatre and Music Museum Today's apartment-museum was a home for Anna and Andres Särev in 1938-1980. Their family belongings help to preserve the homely atmosphere in the museum. Andres Särev was an actor, stage director and theatre manager but is most known for his dramatizations. He worked on books by known and loved Estonian writers Anton Hansen Tammsaare, Oskar Luts, Eduard Vilde, Aadu Hint and many others. Anna Särev, his wife, was an actress but more importantly the person behind the idea of the museum. She vehemently worked towards establishing a theatre museum in their home. It was opened after her death in 1982. Thematic evenings and meetings take place in the Theatre-Room. From July to September 2016 the museum is open Tue-Sat 10 AM-6 PM. Every tuesday is a Theatre Art Tuesday! We welcome families at 3 PM every tuesday at workshops dedicated to stage make up and stage props. You can also try on costumes and improvise a whole play (or just a scene).
