In 2023, the AHHAA Science Centre in Tartu was visited by a total of 246,434 science enthusiasts from both Estonia and abroad. This was not just 20,000 more than in 2022, but an all-time record for the museum.<\/p>\n

“Although tourism in Tartu has not recovered to the pre-corona level, our monthly results have competed with the best numbers ever. Dinosaurs, which are always very popular at AHHAA, certainly played a role here as well,” explained AHHAA board member Pilvi Kolk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to Kolk, the pandemic also showed families the value of time spent together. “Estonians want to spend more and more time with their children. The science centre is a good place for this. In addition to playing, children also learn about the world,” she added.<\/p>\n

Foreigners also contributed to the record, with more than a third of all visitors being from Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The AHHAA Science Centre<\/span><\/span><\/a> in Tartu, which is the largest of its kind in the Baltic States, has been welcoming visitors since 2011. To date, more than 2.3 million people have visited the museum.<\/p>\n
