AHHAA Science Centre
Teaduskeskus AHHAA
The largest science centre in the Baltic states, with hundreds of hands-on exhibits, a planetarium and the famous flea circus. A top choice for families.
AHHAA Science Centre sits on the south bank of the Emajõgi River and is the largest science centre in the Baltic states. Its domed building houses hundreds of interactive exhibits covering physics, the human body, nature and technology. There is also a dome planetarium, live lab shows, the well-known Flea Circus, and an unusual exhibition of pathological specimens. It is ideal for children, though adults can easily spend half a day here. Admission costs about 20 euros. The planetarium requires a separate ticket or a combination pass. It is generally open daily from 10:00 to 19:00, but check the official website. It is about a 10-minute walk from Town Hall Square, across the river.
