Science Centre Tietomaa has been delighting visitors with memorable experiences since 1988. As Finland's first science center, it's the ultimate spot for learning, having fun, challenging both your brain and body, or just spending some quality time in entertaining exploration. Tietomaa is a beloved landmark in Oulu and throughout Northern Finland. Over the years, it has become one of Oulu's most popular attractions. With over a million visits so far, many have explored its wonders with school groups or families, returning time and again.

The themed exhibitions at Science Centre Tietomaa boast more than 150 interactive attractions and demonstrations. Each year brings new exhibitions, while the best of past displays become part of the permanent collection. These exhibits span various fields of science and technology, offering thought-provoking experiences for everyone. One standout is the sea-themed exhibition, M.O.B., which immerses you in the thrill of saltwater adventures and exhilarating speed. You can craft magic sand landscapes, test your skills in a sailing competition, and even take a spin in a speedboat simulator—just try not to get seasick!

Beyond the exhibitions, Oulu itself is a city worth exploring. Known as the 'Capital of Northern Scandinavia,' it offers a unique blend of urban culture and stunning natural landscapes. Whether you're wandering through its charming streets, enjoying a meal at a local café, or taking in the breathtaking views of the Northern Lights, Oulu promises an unforgettable experience.
