PROTO Invention Factory. Tallinn, Estonia

Being a hyper-interactive center of entertainment, science, and virtual reality, PROTO invites you to fly in a hot air balloon, drive the world’s first automobile, walk along the ocean floor, soar upward on a flying bike, and make real scientific discoveries. You can easily spend an entire day exploring this captivating world of adventure. It’s a great place to visit with family and friends.

Across two floors of the Invention Factory, you’ll find dozens of inventions and games for children and adults. Most of them are based on virtual reality, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the captivating atmosphere of each game. The Factory also features a variety of interactive exhibits that help you learn about the laws of physics in a playful way.

In May 2026, the completely renovated second floor was officially opened. Here, the line between fantasy and physics is blurred, and the main rule of the new exhibition is: no “Do not touch” signs! Guests manage all processes themselves.

The new interactive zone features:
– the light magic zone, where you can control a laser beam, guiding it through a complex maze of mirrors;
– the era of steam zone, where you can feel like a train driver and set in motion a realistic model of an old steam locomotive;
– the optical illusion zone, where you can try a zoetrope, which transforms static images into animation, and test your sight in a world of shadows and light;
– the microcosm, where you can examine everyday objects through powerful microscopes, revealing textures invisible to the naked eye.

For the youngest explorers, there’s a children’s play area with air blowers, curved mirrors, and other educational activities.

Next to the interactive space, there is a cozy dining area, also recently renovated. Since March, PROTO Café has had a new chef in charge, whose signature approach and vibrant flavors from around the world have already won the hearts of its guests. The menu is based on the slow-fast food principle: dishes are prepared quickly, but exclusively with fresh and healthy ingredients. The cafe serves soups, main courses, salads, sandwiches, and smoothies.
