Discovering the Palace of Curiosity

Tom Tits Experiment stands as Sweden's premier science center, housed in a vibrant building at Storgatan 33 in central Södertälje. Spanning 10,500 square meters across four themed floors, it transforms abstract concepts into tangible adventures. Since opening in 1985, this destination has drawn over 175,000 visitors annually, proving its enduring appeal as a hub for interactive learning.Forget passive observation; here, engagement is key. Visitors manipulate mechanics, generate forces, and test sensory limits, fostering an environment where science feels like play.

First Floor: Forces and Motion Unleashed

The ground floor pulses with energy focused on physics, mechanics, power, and movement. Experiment with paint splatters, soaring soap bubbles, winding ball tracks, and humming engines. Feel the thrill of acceleration as you launch objects or balance precariously, revealing Newton's laws through your own actions.These setups encourage repeated trials, each yielding fresh insights into how the world moves.

Second Floor: Senses and Aquatic Wonders

Ascend to the second level, where water and perception intertwine. Navigate the disorienting mirror maze, plunge into the pitch-black tunnel, or race magnets along tracks. The water zone delights with cascades, splashes, and flows that demonstrate fluid dynamics in kid-friendly chaos.Sensory experiments challenge what you see, hear, and feel, blurring reality in captivating ways.

Illusions and Human Potential Above

The third floor deceives the eye with optical tricks and mind-bending illusions. Up top, explore the human body: shout into echo chambers, experience weightlessness, or compete in reflex challenges. A 14-meter spiral slide pierces all floors, offering a gravity-defying descent.These areas highlight biology and psychology, making personal physiology profoundly entertaining.

Summer Thrills in the Experiment Park

From May to September, the outdoor park expands the fun across lush grounds emphasizing biodiversity and sustainability. Cycle on high wires, pan for gold, endure simulated earthquakes or hurricanes, and whirl in a centrifuge or robot arm. Water features amplify the splashy excitement on warm days.Picnic spots and an ice cream café provide respites amid the greenery.
