Tips & Tricks from Real Parents

The eagle aviary is world-class. The golden eagles here have one of the largest flight enclosures in Europe.

2

3

The zoo is huge — rent a stroller at the entrance or your toddler will be exhausted within an hour.

4

The indoor tropical house is warm year-round — a perfect winter escape when Tallinn is freezing.

A Real Parent's Story

The eagle that showed off for us

A golden eagle did a full flight display just as we reached its enclosure — swooping from one end of the massive aviary to the other, then back.

Read full story

We took the ferry from Helsinki for a day trip to Tallinn. The zoo wasn't the main plan (we came for the Old Town) but it ended up being the highlight. The enclosures are so spacious and natural — the eagles have room to properly fly. My 5-year-old son is obsessed with birds of prey and seeing a golden eagle soar up close was a dream come true. The keeper took 10 minutes to explain their hunting style. He's been drawing eagles ever since.
