Quirky Parking Barriers

The Estonian National Opera Lets People Drive in on the Upstroke

The Estonian National Opera greets people in a very unusual manner, at least those who have decided to drive to their chosen event. The parking lot barriers have been converted to resemble a conductor's hand complete with a baton. As Neatorama puts it, "Drive in on the upstroke. Just hope that the tempo isn't too fast."

Sure to put a smile on anyone's face even before entering the venue, the Estonian National Opera ensures that they are thinking of their guests right from the get-go. Many companies can take a page from their quirky notebook and add fun details that not only elevate individual experiences, but also are noteworthy enough to go viral. People won't stop talking about these for a while.
