Based in a renovated, over 100-year-old power plant building close to Old Town and the first of its kind in the Baltics, the Energy Discovery Centre is the place to discover science with a hands-on approach. The centre has more than 100 hands-on exhibits dealing with themes such as electricity, magnetics, nuclear energy, sound and optics. Perhaps one of the coolest exhibits will actually allow the visitor to experience 'lighting' - up close and personal, via the Tesla Coil. Energy Discovery Centre also has a full-dome planetarium, interesting science theatre programmes and workshops, temporary exhibitions, as well as electric cars for the younger kids.
