Introduction

Tietomaa is northern Finland's largest science centre, in Oulu, famed for a tower you can climb for city-wide views and countless hands-on exhibits — a playground where families explore physics, nature and tech. The dome cinema shows science films; interactive stations let children grasp optics, force and sound through play. In winter an outdoor snow-and-ice theme area appears. Oulu's friendliest window as a 'city of technology', and the best edutainment by the Arctic.
