6 Science Museums in Tallinn That You Shouldn't Miss

August 18, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

Tallinn's atmospheric Old Town is an enthralling hodgepodge of medieval streets and spires. It's a small city, and the tourist areas are safe and easily explored on foot. Buy a Tallinn Card if intending to use buses, trolleys or trams. For a look into Tallinn's past, visit Rocca-al-Mare Open Air Museum's typical rural Estonian taverns, windmills and watermills, see the onion-domed 1900 cathedral or join the bustle in historic Town Hall Square. St. Olav's spire was once the tallest in the world.

Energy Discovery Centre

There’s lightning in the air at the 100-year-old power plant and science centre for the whole family in the heart of Tallinn. Energy Discovery Centre features daily lightning shows unique in Northern Europe, static electricity demonstrations, over 100 hands-on exhibits, and Planetarium screenings. Learn about electricity, energy production, and have fun with different physical phenomena. All the instructions to the exhibits are in English, Finnish and Russian as well as Estonian. The Planetarium features films narrated in all four languages. The lightning and static electricity demonstrations are performed in Estonian, Russian and English. The Centre is a 5-minute walk from both Tallinn Old City Harbour and Tallinn Old Town.

Excellent. Loads of hands-on exhibits and 99% of them actually worked (I've had previous experience of similar places where many were out of order). The 500 kV lightning demonstration was awesome. The kids loved the place and so did mom. Stayed there for almost three hours. A great destination for a day trip to Tallinn with the family, a short walk from the harbour or even shorter from the old town, just follow the big chimney. Ticket prices are very reasonable. There is also a small planetarium, but we didn't go there, there were so many other things to see. The only downside was that there was no cafe or anything like that, just ice cream on sale and vending machines with treats and tea/coffee. But there is a picnic area, bring a snack for the kids, they will get hungry exploring.

we visited PROTO in January 2020. Although all of us where adults, we truly enjoyed the invention factory. It was fun to see my mums and dad (both over 50yrs) to enjoy the hot air balloon ride and compete on the cycling trail. Really a fun place to visit!
