One of the best museums we have been to abroad as it was very interactive and kept your interest.Great for kids too as there was lots of stuff for them to do and all the children we saw there were enjoying getting involved. For all the exhibits it was possible for you to change the screen to a wide choice of languages. The shipwreck and story behind it was very interesting Cost 15 euros and well worth the money.

The tower itself is a beauty. The exhibition, however, was not worth the fee. The ship wreck was interesting and nice to see, and the cellar floor exhibition was nice. The exhibition on the upper floors isn't that interesting to others than kids and ship enthusiastics. The roof floor is, however, definetely worth the visit. Even though the cafe wasn't open, the views from the top are simply beautiful.

Ironically for a museum all about Tallinn’s relationship with the sea, if I had to pick one word to describe this place, it’d be “dry”. Walls and walls of text, delving into the most tedious minutia of medieval barges and shipping routes. Three floors of display cabinets for scale models of sail, steam, and motor ships. Dimly lit exhibition boxes full of items of variable interest. That said, there’s probably enough here to justify the entry price, including a massive, recently-excavated “cog” ship hull, a bunch of really interesting little videos of sailors and passengers past and present, and a number of interactive exhibits that will keep the kids entertained, including things where you have to move or make noise to activate or control something on-screen. Despite being split across five (or six?) floors, the museum is fully accessible, with a stylish circular 8-person elevator in the middle of the tower. There are toilets and lockers on the basement level, and a small but picturesque cafe on the roof, serving drinks, cakes, snacks, and full meals, at fairly typical prices for an Old Town tourist destination.
