赫尤里卡芬兰科学中心

Heureka, the Finnish Science centre offers interesting program and exhibitions for anyone interested in science and is educating fun for children as well as adults.

This museum is worth a visit, although it is a bit far away from the city center there are transportations to the museum. It is amazing and extreamly good for children. Worth it!

There are plenty of experiment stations in Heureka. If you come with children you should definitely book a whole day for the visit. You can easily come there by train from city center (single train ticket 5 e/adult).

My 4- and 6-year-old boys were in awe of all the attractions although everything had to be explained. The explanations are at least in Finnish, Swedish and English there.I recommend!

The place is quite small, so if you have visited Heureka before you propably find yourself bored after 45 minutes.You can reach the place by train or car easily, it's located just few hundred meters from Tikkurila train station.

Heureka is very easy to get to from anywhere by the train.We felt like the newest exhibitions they had were more aimed for kids. As adults we didn't find most of the things that suitable for us.We have visited Heureka several times before and we enjoyed those exhibitions a lot more. The rat basketball is always the highlight of our visit! The planetarium is also very good and worth the money.

We went here back at Easter and spent some time , but didn't see everything so we went back now in the summer intending to spend just an hour or two there. In fact we were there all day as there were lots of new things to do and see as well as repeating some of what we'd done before. My son, who is 13, loves it here and we will be back.

Heureka science centre is easy to reach by train from Helsinki (nearest station: Tikkurila plus 5 minute signposted walk) and well worth the trip. The entrance fee is quite pricey so you may want to stay the day to make it worth your while. Plenty to see and do, decent cafeteria and yummy ice cream on offer! Children will love it as everything is geared to be touched and played with and for us adults, providing you have the gift of concentration, you'll be amazed at some of the things you can learn.The rat basketball game was fun to watch and we enjoyed the film "To space and back" at the planetarium. Another plus on a super hot day (outside temperature of 30 degrees+) was the air conditioning... Bliss!!!

From a child's point of view, this attraction is probably worth five stars. However, as an adult I couldn't help but think that there wasn't enough to do and see in four exhibition halls. Wandering around the main area (not including planerarium or other extra activities) took only two hours and we felt little bit like "is that all?"Children younger than 7 years old will surely enjoy the exhibition, but older kids probably could get more out of it. For teenagers "the Heureka classics" might be boring but, on the other hand, the changing exhibitions might interest different kind of people from all age groups. For example, "Heureka goes crazy" exhibition about mental health etc. is interesting for older visitors, for small kids it might be too scary ("phobia room" etc).Didn't have lunch there, but think it's quite expensive. The souverir shop is filled with so much fun stuff, serious and less serious, how about a do-it-yourself slime kit? Cool!

Excellent place for education, entertaiment and see science more attractive and more close to people. Nice high tech scienece expo with look like real dinosorus and other things connected to science, evolution, history and possible future. Like this place very much, no dislakes.

Didn't have to say even at once, that "Don't touch that" since there were a lot of things to try and test for the kids! If you are interested in science, then go here! While the kids try and test everything, you can learn more about physics and science meanwhile. There are explanations of all the little things there on small touch pads. Kids are 9 and 7 years old, not that much fun for the younger ones, and probably teenagers would get bored.

Various exbitions are at very high level. I recommend it for a visit even it is far away from Helsinki centre.We even kept one birthday party there. The program (chemistry for children) was very good. The science shop is interesting too. The restaurant is the only minus. It is very expensive even for finnish standards, so best to bring own water/juice and little snack to eat if you don't want to pay too much for it.

We caught the train from Helsinki and had to ask directions as centre is not visible from railway station although we were told it was.Loved it and could have spent a few more hours here but it was getting late.The basketball rat show was very entertaining although we couldn't understand a word the woman was saying and no translator available.The grandchildren tried just about everything several times and were very happy.Unfortunately we didn't discover there is also an outdoor area until we were just about ready to leave.We missed the 3d movie as had no idea this was a separate cost.Very friendly and helpful English speaking staff are available in most areas.Whilst some reviewers have complained that it is only one level,there are a LARGE amount of interesting things to do anyway.Even as a grandparent,I too had lots of fun trying different things.Worth the time and money and would highly recommend.

I live in Finland and when I was a kid, I loved going to Heureka. There is so much to do and see. The theme also changes which is fun.

I have been to this attraction in the form of a class excursion in 1994. Of course many changes have taken place there since then, I'm sure. I remember the science theatre, the Verne theatre, the science store, the cable bicycle, the scenic elevator and all the Macintosh SE and Macintosh LC computers as well as some PC's. The scenic elevator was actually just a room with automatic doors and there was a video screen inside it. The male voice in the video told passengers to imagine they were in a 250-storey skyscraper and going up to its top. He warned also about the air getting thinner and thinner. Then he mentioned something about the structures of many Finnish elevators. Programs in the computers and the scenic elevator were avaible in Finnish, Swedish and English; I suppose also in Russian these days. Anyway, the visit was very pleasant and as a matter of fact I would have wanted my class to go there again by the end of the school year. It didn't take place, though.
