About Tom Tits
Welcome to Sweden’s Largest Science Centre! At Tom Tits Experiment, curiosity, creativity and the joy of discovery are at the heart of everything we do. This is a place where everyone – young and old – can explore, play and learn together. With four floors indoors and a whole park outside, we offer over 400 hands-on experiments that bring science and technology to life for the whole family.
A historic home for hands-on discovery
Our grand industrial building was constructed in 1900. Today, it’s filled with exciting experiments across all four floors. And when you include our outdoor Experiment Park (open May to September), there are over 400 experiments to explore – perfect for curious minds of all ages.
Science that aparks the senses
Our experiments are designed to spark your curiosity and inspire you to learn more about science, technology, physics, biology – and so much more. Here, all your senses come alive. You’ll spin, jump, think, and try again. Touch, feel, look, listen – and discover!
Who is Tom Tit?
The name Tom Tit comes from a fictional character in a French magazine, which later became a book: La science amusante par Tom Tit – meaning “Fun Science with Tom Tit.” This was back in the late 1800s. In the magazine and book, Tom Tit shared science experiments and challenges, encouraging readers to try them at home – just like we do here at Tom Tits Experiment today.
Science and technology for everyone
Tom Tits Experiment is for all ages, though most of our visitors are families with children. We also offer professional development for teachers and educators – including training days and courses. It’s a place where both students and teachers can discover new ways of learning.
Proud member of the Swedish Science Centres
