How long to spend at Tekniska museet
Plan for 2 to 4 hours, especially with children, since the interactive exhibitions tend to hold visitors’ attention longer than expected. A quick highlights-only visit is possible in around 90 minutes, but many families end up staying much longer.

The museum is fully accessible, with wide ramps at a 2.5-degree gradient and a lift for electric wheelchairs at the main entrance, plus lifts between all floors inside.

A limited number of pushchairs, baby carriers and wheelchairs can be borrowed from the Information Desk. Guide and hearing dogs are welcome, and an induction loop is fitted in the Auditorium. Visitors wearing shoes with steel spikes are not admitted to Trähallen or the Dome, since the spikes damage the floor.
