Accessibility

The chance to step into the world of stories for a moment and re-experience the fantastic stories that Astrid Lindgren has given us is an opportunity for positive experiences that we would like to recommend to everyone. As far as possible, we want to make this chance accessible to everyone, and this is an ongoing and long-term process to which Astrid Lindgren’s World is committed. We work together with Swedish EQUALITY, which has made an accessibility inventory of the park (in Swedish) that you can find here.

Good to know if you have a disability

The terrain in the park is fairly level, and there are lots of open areas. It is approximately 1700 m around the whole park if you follow the main trail.


Parking

Approx. 50 metres from the entrance there are marked parking spaces for persons with disabilities. Normal parking fees apply of 60 SEK for a full day. The parking fee is payable to our stewards at the car park or in the ticket booths.


Admission

The admission fee is payable in the ticket booths, which are all adapted for wheelchair users. Disabled guests pay the normal admission price. An accompanying personal carer/assistant is admitted free.


Personal carer

If you have a disability that requires a personal carer, the carer gets free admission on presentation of a personal carer certificate. A valid personal carer certificate must be issued with the personal details of both the personal carer and the disabled person. A parent of a child with a disability is not entitled to free admission unless the parent is employed as the personal carer and can show a personal carer certificate. Please contact the ticket booths for more information.


Guide dogs/dogs

Guide dogs in a harness and vest may enter the park. Guide dogs and service and signal dogs are welcome in restaurants/outdoor restaurant seating areas, after you have contacted our staff.


Hearing loop

Our Information has a number of portable hearing loops in Swedish that be borrowed if you have impaired hearing. The system is wireless with a receiver and a personal hearing loop that you wear around your neck, or alternatively in a pair of headphones. You then choose on the receiver which theatre setting you want to listen to. If, for example, you want to listen to the performance ‘Sjörövarfabbes jänta’ with Pippi Longstocking in Villekulla Cottage you have to be in that setting to get good reception.
