FIRST REASON

Give the gift of quality time together

A Heureka gift ticket is much more than just a ticket to Heureka's diverse exhibition offering. With this gift, you can create new memories and unforgettable moments together. A visit to Heureka creates stories that you can look back on even years later. At Heureka, you can easily spend an entire day together and learn a lot of new things!

SECOND REASON

Give a gift that makes you smarter

Heureka's exhibitions allow you to do and experiment yourself. While exploring, both children and adults will learn new things!

  • Do you know how thick the continental ice sheet was that covered Finland during the last ice age?
  • Do you know how many satellites are currently orbiting the Earth?
  • Do you know how much short-faced bears could weigh?


You will find answers to these questions and many others at Heureka's exhibitions!

THIRD REASON

The ticket is valid for 12 months and you can choose the day of your visit yourself.

A Heureka gift ticket is a flexible gift choice because the recipient can use it when it suits them best! The gift certificate is valid for a full year from the date of purchase, so you'll definitely have time to fit a visit into your calendar.

Tip! If you want to give the gift of science for the whole year, we recommend gifting a Heureka Club annual card.
