Usually yes and children enjoy it greatly, but the internal passage is very tight, the ladders vertical and the space fully enclosed with no windows — so anyone claustrophobic, child or adult, is better skipping it. You cannot turn back midway: you enter at one end and exit at the other.

The Museum of Technology and Maritime History is part of the Malmo museum complex beside the castle, devoted to the industrial and transport history of a city whose entire economy rested on shipbuilding. The exhibits are all large in scale and enterable: steam locomotives, suspended aircraft, cars, engines and factory machinery. Its best-known piece is the submarine U3 — a genuine Swedish submarine from 1943, pulled from the water and installed inside the museum, which you can climb down into and walk through along its narrow passage between pipes, valves and crew bunks. The experience is deliberately tight and airless and explains life in underwater service better than any panel. The maritime section tells the story of the Kockums yards, once among the world's largest shipbuilders, employing thousands before closing in the 1980s — the story that explains all of modern Malmo. The same ticket covers the castle and the complex's other museums.
