Challenge & Adventure
The Sabotage
For children
To avoid damage to the area, you need to be observant. In The Sabotage, your detective skills are put to the test. By finding the hidden clues that the suspect left behind, you can figure out who is behind the sabotage.
For older visitors
It’s urgent. The Alexanderson transmitter was subjected to a cunning sabotage during the night, and we need to find the perpetrator and the motive. Some information has been secured, but also some very strange clues. Do you have what it takes to find the saboteur?
Some waiting time before start may occur.

The Workshop
The Workshop is World Heritage Grimeton’s place for creation!
Here, children and young people get to work with real materials, tools, and techniques. It might be stamping metal, building something, or trying other kinds of crafts. The content may vary, but the starting point is the same: to create things yourself, understand more, and discover what you can actually make on your own.
The Workshop is open on selected occasions and activities. The current program can be found in our calendar.
Included in admission
The Control
In The Control, your physical abilities are put to the test. In three steps, you get to test your vision, strength and balance. Something that the tower workers have performed in Grimeton since the 1920s. We call it an obstacle course, others call it the world’s best playground!
In addition to the three mission stations, the obstacle course also includes other exciting play elements that encourage free play and learning.

Eat & Meet
The World Heritage Visitor Center
In the Visitor Center’s Reception and Shop, you’ll be greeted by our staff who can help you with tickets and practical questions, or perhaps just put Grimeton in context if you want to know more about where you are.
The Shop is part of the experience and reflects the World Heritage Site’s story about communication, technology, and everyday life. Here you’ll find everything from Morse socks and thoughtful everyday items to The Pantry, where you can take parts of our food philosophy home—products and flavors that are used in The Dining Hall and are chosen with care.
Matsalen
In the World Heritage Visitor Center, you’ll find The Dining Hall—a place for food, meetings, and communication, with a view of the World Heritage Site.
On selected days, the kitchen is open and serves well-prepared food with a focus on sustainability, quality, and care. When the kitchen is not in operation, simple refreshments are available for purchase in the Shop—and you’re always welcome to sit down in The Dining Hall and enjoy the atmosphere.
The Dining Hall is being developed gradually as part of Grimeton’s long-term commitment to sustainable visitor operations.
