Why go
Families who want a day with both activity and art can keep the distances short in Kadriorg. Give children time to explore Miiamilla before moving to the small House of Peter the Great Museum. Kumu then offers a larger art stop, so plan a break before or after its galleries. End outdoors in the Japanese Garden, where the pace can slow again after the museums. The sequence moves from play to history to art and finally to green space, with no need to cross the city between stops. It works best when everyone is comfortable spending a substantial part of the day inside museums.
