Family activity in Västerås: a museum, an escape room and the Svartån river

A family day in Västerås can begin at Karlsgatan 2, a five-minute walk from us. The county museum (Västmanlands läns museum) and Västerås Art Museum share the building, and admission is free. The county museum tells Västmanland’s story from the Stone Age to the turn of the millennium. In the art museum’s Konstlabbet studio, children and teens can make their own art.

Then it is time for a room. For a family playing for the first time, The Space Station is a good choice: Medium difficulty and room for 2–5 players. If you have played before, try The Bunker, which is rated Medium/Hard. With four or more of you, the children can take on the grown-ups in The King and The Emperor if both rooms have the same start time available. The minimum age is 10 in each of these rooms.

Finish along the Svartån river. Follow it from Stora Torget down towards the guest harbour, past Västerås Castle and the fish bypass that lets fish get round the rapids. On a summer day, carry on to Lögastrand, a sandy beach on Lake Mälaren with jetties and a big lawn.
