Heureka

Heureka is a science center in Vantaa that features hundreds of interactive exhibits about natural sciences and technology. The spaces are designed so visitors can try everything out and explore on their own.

The center opened in 1989 after an architectural competition that was won by Heikkinen-Komonen Architects. This distinctive building has been a regional landmark since its opening day.

The institution operates through the Finnish Science Centre Foundation, combining educational, industrial, and governmental sectors to advance scientific understanding among visitors.

The location is just a short walk from Tikkurila train station, making it easy to reach by public transport. When planning a visit, keep in mind that longer wait times can happen, especially on weekends.

The on-site restaurant serves experimental dishes with a scientific focus, turning the food itself into part of the experience. Visitors can try dishes with unexpected colors and flavors that are designed to match the exhibits.
