Parental Leave
Restaurant and café
Take a seat at the museum's restaurant for a quiet moment alone with your baby, or meet other parents on parental leave for coffee or lunch! Enjoy a cup of coffee and something sweet while soaking in the beautiful and welcoming indoor atmosphere. If the weather allows, we have outdoor seating, and takeaway is also available.
There are several highchairs and bibs available, and we’re happy to help you heat baby food. The restaurant offers fruit pouches. We always try to provide options for vegans, vegetarians, and those who are lactose or gluten intolerant. If you have questions about allergens in our selection, feel free to talk to our kitchen staff or contact us in advance.
For those with young children, it may be helpful to know that we have changing tables and child-friendly toilet seats available in our restrooms.
The restaurant has the same opening hours as the museum.

Activity: baby impressions
Create a memory that lasts a lifetime and make an impression of your baby's hand or foot! We use white cotton pulp and gently dip your baby's hand or foot onto the mould. A few seconds later, it has become a sheet of paper with your baby's foot or handprint in it. Once the paper has dried for a few days, we will mail it to your home.
The activity is suitable for babies 3–12 months of age. No prior experience required. Our knowledgeable staff will guide you through the whole process.
Dates and times
Please check our Swedish calendar for dates and times.
Start time is 10:00. Latecomers will not be admitted. The activity takes about 60 minutes, and some waiting time is involved. Please respect that no siblings are allowed in the room during the activity.
Cost and booking
Price: SEK 85 for adults. Thereafter SEK 50/sheet of paper (maximum three sheets per baby). You can buy your ticket in the main entrance/reception of the museum in the Oxhuset building on the same day between 9:30 and 10:00. First come, first served (no pre-booking).
Visiting the museum with a pram
Tumba Paper Mill Museum is near the Tumba town centre. There is a bus from the commuter train station, or you can walk with a stroller from the station to the museum in about 20 minutes.
Some of the museum buildings (Oxhuset, Röda magasinet, Spruthuset) are accessible with ramps and lifts, and others are not (Kölnan).
