Tallinn County Travel Forum

Hello All,

We have just booked our first trip to Tallinn to run over Easter 2006 (10 to 15 April) - could any locals tell me please if everything closes on Good Friday or will we still have things open to see and do? Any any suggestions on where and how we can keep two small boys (4 and 6) entertained would be gratefully received!

We've heard so much about how nice Tallinn is - looking forward to getting there!

Thanks,
Izaac

Many thanks for your response - the Puppet theater and zoo sound like good ideas for us - we have added an extra day now - I will post again closer to the time we go for more ideas and what to see.

Well, it's closer to the time now - just two weeks to go - we can't wait!

A couple of questions - does anyone know if the fast ferries will be running to Helsinki by 10th April? Lindalines website says they won't start until 21st April, Tallink (www.tallink.ee) don't have their English pages working at the moment and I can't read the Estonian, I'm afraid! Do we have any alternatives for a day trip to Helsinki?

We've got a short list of things to do/places to take the kids (2 boys aged 4 and 6)- the Tallinn Zoo, the Puppet theatre (Johnny's Seven Friends sounds good), the Kalev Spa water park (www.kalevspa.ee) and ice skating at Jeti (www.jeti.ee) - which should amuse everyone else as none of us has ever ice-skated before!!

We've also booked a Bach concert at the Estonia Concert Hall for our last night (14th April). I don't think we'll be bored.....

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Many thanks,
Izaac
