Family day in Norrköping: museums with free admission and a room after lunch
A family day in Norrköping can start in the Industrial Landscape. The Museum of Work sits in Strykjärnet, a former cotton mill on an islet in the river, with free admission and Lilla Arbetets, a play area for children up to six. The City Museum also has free admission and its own Children's Museum section. Holmbron, the bridge outside the museums, is being replaced and is expected to be finished in spring 2027. Until then there is a temporary footbridge, but it may close at times; then walk to the Museum of Work via Holmentornet or Kvarngatan and to the City Museum via Västgötegatan.
After lunch, walk the 8–11 minutes back towards the centre to Prästgatan 14. For children aged ten and up, Trapped, OrientX and the two ships HMS Orion and HMS Argo all fit. In a bigger family, mix grown-ups and children on both ships and race to the lifeboat, when both ships have the same start time free.
If you are driving and would rather start at Visualiseringscenter C, use the Spetsen car park at Skvallertorget, as the centre has none of its own. The exhibitions on space and data have free admission, while shows in the Wisdome dome are booked separately.
