Energy Discovery Centre

The Energy Discovery Centre is located in a 100-year-old power plant, situated in the centre of Tallinn on the border of the Old Town and the Kalamaja district. Here, you can see lightning even on a sunny day!

Every day, lightning demonstrations are carried out with Tesla coils in the discovery centre  – a truly exciting experience.

More than 100 hands-on exhibits explain how different electrical equipment work, but also show exciting sound and light effects and introduce the cosmos and natural phenomena.
The centre has a planetarium where you can watch popular science short films and observe the sky.
The centre welcomes all curious minds, especially families with children.
