The AHHAA Science Centre offers science, excitement, adventure and useful skills, as well as a fun time for everyone. It is an attractive learning environment. The majority of the exhibits are 'hands-on', so you can try everything yourself, whether it be the planetarium, the school laboratory pilot programme or the science theatre. Definitely a place to go to if you travel with kids.
