Tallinn TV Tower

A grandiose structure on the outskirts of Tallinn. The TV Tower is next to the Botanical Gardens. The entrance fee is quite expensive, but well worth it. The tower has some interactive entertainment and a restaurant with very tasty desserts.

Happy New 2021 Year! The weather was really really foggy, so we couldn't see the fireworks on the TV tower. But it's still a good place when the weather is good. =)

We visited Tallinn TV Tower today. At the end of our visit, as we were trying to get a few items at the gift shop my 9-year-old daughter was approached by the store manager and accused of making a 1-inch tear in the back cover of a small notepad sold there for €2.30. The manager demanded that we purchased the notepad now that it was damaged. We were about to purchase €35-worth of souvenirs and just spent €60 between the entrance fee and the coffee we had at the cafe upstairs. And yet there we were, embarassed in front of everyone for allegedly damaging a small souvenir item. Video surveillance was mentioned if we didn't agree to pay there and then. I don't know if my daughter made that little tear in the notepad. It was a €2.30 little thing. The fact that we already spent almost €100 and were about to spend more to bring some mementos home meant nothing to that woman. She wanted us to pay €2.30 and she was prepared to call security and start reviewing surveillance tapes to prove my 9-year-old was responsible for the tear. A tear! in the notebook. I paid €2.30 to avoid further humiliation and leave. I would never go back and I would never recommend this place to anyone. I don't know if this sort of treatment is customary here or if we just caught the manager on a bad day. If you ever visit Tallinn, I highly recommend the view points in the old town. The views are gorgeous and free. If you are looking to pay €40 (3 adults and a child) to see the same views and be treated like criminals by the staff - TV Tower is definitely the place to check out.
