Kids love the frogs |
Falkenbergsgatan 2 Stockholm 115 21 +46 (0)8 660 9089 http://www.aquaria.se/ info@aquaria.se |
The entrance to this water museum is under a cascade of water. Inside there is an artificial jungle with showers, piranhas and mudskippers. The children's favourites are the frogs that almost look like candy in all different colours, and the enormous sharks swimming in the glimmering water. And it is a real adventure to crawl into the shark aquarium and look up at the awesome creatures. Outside you can watch the salmon jumping up the artificial streams. Review © 2007, Wcities |

At the School Museum, an old classroom is recreated with authentic interiors and all kinds of teaching aids, such as old maps showing countries that do not exist anymore. If you want your children to experience a day in the life of a student from way back, this is the place to go. They get to write with steel nibs, study old pictures and see skeletons used for science lessons. Bring your own old-fashioned packed lunch to eat at your desk. Review © 2007, Wcities |
Permanent exhibition and learning centre |
Storgatan 33 Södertälje 151 36 +46 (0)8 5225 2500 http://www.tomtit.se info@tomtit.se |
Tom Tit's Experiment, an adventure in technology and science, is located in Södertälje but is well worth the trip. The displays are interactive and you can touch and turn as much as you want. There are huge halls packed with fun filled things, such as strange machines and pictures. There are exhibits about the human body and outer space and all its different constellations. For the younger children there is a puppet theatre. Review © 2007, Wcities |
