Make sure you visit the observatory when they're is a guided tour. I believe it's every other Saturday, just call them to make sure. The exhibition is very interesting, but the guides can extend all that with stories, putting that all in context. Still you can learn a lot from the exhibition itself. The planet comparisons, the scale of the universe demonstrated... Oh, and the cloud chamber showing the cosmic Microwave background radiation's particles crashing into it!

Great contribution to the night of science! The exposition seemed really interesting too, definitely paying another visit.

We visited here last month and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was very helpful and although rather small, it was a very history rich visit with a handful of digital items to interact with. It's wonderful that a lot of the original structure and equipment are preserved and in good condition.

This is a stunning historical building which tells you the story from each room and function of the family leading Finland’s astrology readers h at the time. They have an impressive library room and breathtaking observatory room with very intriguing equipment. You will also find the usual ‘save the planet’ eco presentations with Greta’s quotes.

An outstanding collection of the studies of astronomy in Helsinki along with a stylish display. Although a great sight to visit in the city, the café there was rather disappointing, with nothing more than buns, soup and a couple of drinks. Could have more variety, especially when visitors can get hungry after exploring the area.
