Things to do in Södertälje: Torekällberget and Tom Tits

1. Torekällberget

Start with a walk through the old town and farm environments at Torekällberget. The open-air museum brings Södertälje’s 19th-century world into view, with historical interiors, animals around Råbygården and places for children to play. It is worth taking your time here rather than treating it as a quick photo stop.

Good to know

• The grounds open every day year-round and are normally free; a few events have an admission charge.
• Buildings, animal areas, shops and cafés have different opening hours. Use the detailed seasonal timetable, not just the site’s general opening information.
• Lillboden offers play and crafts on weekends and school holidays; check the programme for your visit.
• Lindbloms café offers a fika stop in a 19th-century setting; check its opening days separately.

2. Tom Tits Experiment

Give yourself time to try things rather than just walk past them. Tom Tits has more than 400 experiments across four floors, covering subjects such as water, the human body, magnetism and movement. It is an easy choice for a visit where children and adults can explore together.

Good to know

• Buy tickets online and check the current admission price and any holiday exceptions before travelling.
• The outdoor experiment park is seasonal, so check the opening calendar if it is important to your visit.
• Bring a change of clothes if you plan to explore the park’s water experiments.
• There is a restaurant on site; check its lunch and café serving times separately.

3. Södertälje konsthall

Make room for art alongside the historical buildings. Södertälje konsthall is currently based in temporary premises at Torekällberget, making it a natural addition to the open-air museum rather than a separate cross-town trip. Check what is showing before you go: the exhibition programme is part of the reason to visit.

Good to know

• Admission is free.
• The published visitor address is Källgatan 15 at Torekällberget, not the former Lunagallerian premises.
• Opening times and guided introductions are listed on the gallery website. Check your date, especially around exhibition changes.

4. Saltskog gård

If you enjoy smaller art outings, look at the exhibition programme at Saltskog gård. Art, culture and a café make it a good choice for a slower weekend stop. Build the visit around a confirmed exhibition rather than assuming the house is open every day.

Good to know

• The published opening pattern is Saturday and Sunday, noon–4 pm, while an exhibition is running.
• Find it at Förvaltarvägen 53; check the exhibition dates before setting out.
• The venue advertises a café alongside its cultural programme; confirm what is available for your visit.

5. Sydpoolen

For something more active, switch from experiments to water. Sydpoolen has a wave pool, slide and current channel, as well as swimming pools for a more straightforward swim. Pigges Lagun gives the smallest children their own place to splash.

Good to know

• Check Actic’s current swimming and adventure-pool hours and admission before you go.
• Adults are responsible for accompanying children, and non-swimmers need a swimming adult responsible for them.
• Phones are not allowed in the pool area; leave yours in the locker.
• You cannot eat your own food inside the pool area. Pigges café sells light meals and snacks.

Quick tips

• For a family day, choose Torekällberget and Tom Tits rather than trying to fit in every stop.
• Add the konsthall while you are at Torekällberget; plan Saltskog gård around an active weekend exhibition.
