Things to do in Södertälje in winter: Tom Tits and more

1. Spend an indoor session at Tom Tits Experiment

Make Tom Tits your main indoor plan rather than a short escape from the cold. With more than 400 experiments across four floors, you can try water experiments, explore the human body and test how you react to movement and balance. There is enough variety here to let different members of the family follow their own curiosity.

Good to know

• The experiment park takes a winter break; plan around the indoor building, not summer attractions.
• Buy tickets online and check the opening calendar, including Christmas and New Year exceptions.
• The on-site restaurant is useful for a longer stay; check serving times before deciding when to eat.

2. Walk through Torekällberget

Use a daylight window for the old town and farm environments. Torekällberget remains a year-round outing, but winter is a reason to be selective: see which historical rooms and animal areas are open, then make a shorter route around them. Lindbloms café can be part of the plan if its opening hours line up.

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.

3. See an exhibition at Södertälje konsthall

On a day when the weather cuts your outdoor walk short, the konsthall is a useful companion to Torekällberget. Its temporary premises are on the museum site, so you can move from local history to an art exhibition without planning another destination. Let the current programme decide whether it belongs in your day.

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. Warm up with a swim at Sydpoolen

If your group needs to move rather than look at another exhibition, choose Sydpoolen. The wave pool, slide and current channel offer a playful indoor afternoon, while the swimming pools give you another option. It is a useful alternative to Tom Tits, not something you need to squeeze in after a full science-centre visit.

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

• Check Torekällberget’s detailed winter timetable: access to the grounds is not a promise that every historical room is open.
• Choose Tom Tits or Sydpoolen as the main activity, and avoid rushing two substantial indoor visits into one afternoon.
