The duration of the guided is 1 hour. We applied for the excursion the day before. There is a cafe and a souvenir shop on site. An Impressive and Moving Experience We visited this remarkable mine and were truly touched by the powerful stories of the people who once worked here. It's not just a – it’s a place full of history and emotion. We booked a guided tour, which cost €23 per person and was absolutely worth it. Booking is via email. The who led us had actually worked in the mines himself, which added a deeply personal and emotional touch to the experience. His stories were honest, moving, and gave us real insight into the life of a miner. The miners quick lasted about an hour and was very well organized. We also had a ride. In addition to the tour, there's also an above-ground with a wealth of information – we spent about 1.5 hours exploring that part. Tours are available in different languages, which makes it accessible to international visitors. Parking is conveniently located right next to the museum. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer questions. The restrooms were clean, and there’s also a restaurant on site offering a good selection of healthy food. Outside, you’ll find impressive machines and an old on display, which adds to the atmosphere. Overall, this was much more than just a trip – it was an eye-opening and heartfelt experience. Highly recommended! A must museum! was a guy who worked there for 40 years. He has lots of different stories to tell if you ask him. In the beginning you'll be shown a short video to better understand oil industry. After that the real fun begins. You will descent into the mine and watch various equipment in operation. The will explain how equipment and process changed throughout the time. Probably on of the most interesting places to in Estonia and yet often misheard of. This oil mine was closed in 2001 and is now open to tourists. You can 8 meters below ground with a former miner who will even restart some machines to show you how extraction works. Worth a visit. On the way to the mine from Tallinn you can stop by Kivioli and admire the view from the slagheap. Had pleasure do through new adventure at Eesti kaevandusmuuseum, which is "Escape room". It takes place at 8meters below the surface, where u have one hour to escape. You get real experiance and adrenalin, cause you have only limited equipent to work with, headlamps to light up the room, environment is +8 degrees, dark, wet. Feedback has been very positive, so i recommend! Truly remarkable experience and impressive museum. You can tunnels and see all the soviet machinery. Most of it is in good condition, and the was a top-notch guy. They provide you with a warm jacket and helmets; I warmly recommend to wear it because it gets chilly and damp down there. They also have a beautiful restaurant area. Additionally, you can rent a 4x4 with a driver and explore the slopes and hills like a boss. A very interesting place. The mine part is dark and damp. The is very cramped and noisy but an unforgettable experience (the 3-year-olds enjoyed it also but needed some handholding). The above ground is interesting and worth diving into. Nice and interesting about the oil in Estonia. The above ground part tells about oil and processing, while the part tells about mining, of the oil shale. Often tours are in Estonian or Russian, but you can join the group with a free audioguide. The part contains a short ride and many moving machines. Interesting with a guide. The machines they show us make a great noise so smaller kids might get scared if the noise starts. Luckily it is less than a minute the noise lasts and I think it was about 4 machines during one hour. Great place to learn about Estonian oil history and see the mine in person. A must see 10/10 in my opinion. PS take closed-toe footwear and warm hoodie, its +8C/46F inside the mine. Visited the on a recent to estonia would highly recommend a here its informative and very well thought out you are taken into the old mine workings using an original used for the miners a takes you around and explains the various processes with audio translations in many languages afterwards you are free to explore the above ground areas of the mine A very unique site, and experience! Even a short drive by an included. Recommended to book the in advance (as it is only allowed to be toured with a underground). Since we were a small group (5 people), we joined a larger Estonian group. The spoke Estonian, but we could follow the story in Latvian using audio guides. Highly recommended tour!
