Astrid Lindgren's World

Astrid Lindgrens Värld, 2009

Astrid Lindgrens World is a theme park located in Astrid Lindgren's native city Vimmerby, Sweden. In its 130,000 square metres, you meet all the beloved characters from Astrid Lindgren's books in person. All the environments are built as prescribed in the books and they give every child the possibility to enter into the well-known stories of Pippi Longstocking, Emil i Lönneberga, Karlsson-on-the-Roof, and many others of Astrid Lindgren's beloved characters.

Astrid Lindgrens World is open in the summer from May to August. During the summer season the drama goes on all day long, both on stage and improvised all around the park. The small stage just inside the entrance and the main stage shows every day special written scenes with music that includes singing and dancing. But the meeting with the environments and the interaction with the well-known characters are what is most appreciated by the visitors.

Besides the theme park Astrid Lindgrens World also offer the visitor many different types of stay options and a wide selection of places for a nice picnic, coffeehouses and restaurants.
