SCHOOL Groups In Helsinki – Paradox Museum
An experiential school trip in the heart of Helsinki
Planning a school trip to Helsinki?
Paradox Museum Helsinki offers an inspiring and interactive learning experience for school groups, located right in the city centre on Fabianinkatu.

With over 40 interactive exhibits, the museum combines science, perception, and critical thinking in a way that encourages students to discover and understand concepts for themselves. This is not a traditional museum visit — here, learning happens through experience, exploration, and collaboration.
A visit to Paradox Museum is an excellent choice for a school excursion, theme day, or as part of a broader school day in Helsinki.
