Heureka is a science center in the Tikkurila district of Vantaa, Finland, north of Helsinki, designed by Heikkinen – Komonen Architects. It is located at the intersection of the Finnish Main Line and the river Keravanjoki.
The aim of the science centre, which opened its doors to the public in 1989, is to popularise scientific information and to develop the methods used to teach science and scientific concepts. The science centre provides opportunities to become familiar with science and technology through varying exhibitions, a planetarium, an idea workshop, educational programs and events. Heureka is one of the largest leisure centres in Finland, with about 300 thousand visitors per year.
The name "Heureka" refers to the Greek exclamation, presumably uttered by Archimedes, to mean "I've found it!". The Science Centre Heureka features both indoor and outdoor interactive exhibitions with exhibits that enable visitors to independently test different concepts and ideas. There is also a digital planetarium with 135 seats.
The Heureka Science Centre is a non-profit organization run by the Finnish Science Centre Foundation. The Finnish Science Centre Foundation is a broadly based co-operation organization that includes the Finnish scientific community, education sector, trade and industry, and national and local government. The ten background organisations of the Foundation support, develop and actively participate in the activities of Heureka. The foundation's highest body is the Board of Trustees, whose decisions are implemented by the Governing Board. Everyday activities are the responsibility of Heureka's director assisted by a management team and other staff. Since September 2020, the director of Heureka has been Mikko Myllykoski.

Dixi is a combined office, shopping and transport centre in Tikkurila, Vantaa, Finland, in connection to the Tikkurila railway station. Dixi is located to the west of the railway track, to the north of the old station building. The shopping centre was opened in 2015 and was expanded with a 100-metre-long expansion in 2017, with an upcoming final phase of a further 6,000 m2 of office space to its southern part on Ratatie.
The building contains plenty of office space and about thirty businesses, including kiosks, cafés, restaurants, special businesses, a medical station, barbershops, a gym, a service point of the city of Vantaa, VR Group ticket sales and an S-market grocery store. The bus terminal of the Tikkurila railway station was moved to Dixi with the buses driving to the open bottom floor of the shopping centre. There is a grass roof the size of a football field on top of the building.
Dixi can be accessed from the west from Ratatie, which handles the arriving connections of the bus terminal or from the railway platforms via a station bridge with a roof and glass walls connecting to the third floor. The station bridge and most of the railway platforms are actually located in the neighbouring district of Jokiniemi. However, the businesses on the station bridge are not counted as part of the Dixi shopping centre. On the other end of the station bridge is also located the Väritehtaankatu 8 office and business building in Jokiniemi, which is not part of Dixi. This building hosts offices, a lunch restaurant and a gym. The second phase of the building on Väritehtaankatu was completed in late 2021, consisting of an additional building with six floors and a total floor space of 4,000 m2.
