The kids had been bugging us to take them to a hands-on museum, so we capitulated one day and planned an outing to include a stop at Tom Tits Experiment in Sodertalje. We drove to the coast first, down the E4 to a place called Trosa. It is a charming spot with houses lining a canal that winds through the town.
When the kids had had enough of the "charm" we headed back to the museum for lunch and some fun. There is a large part of the museum that is outdoors, but as it doesn't open until the beginning of May, we concentrated our efforts on the exhibits indoors. The kids had the opportunity to experiment with sound, water, light and air as they tried out the different activities. We cheered on rats as they raced through an obstacle course to get to the banana at the finish; we rowed on ergometers; the kids got lost in the mirrored rooms. A few hours later, we were pooped. I'm sure we missed many of the 600+ exhibits, but it gives us an excuse to come back!
