Space for play
If there was one thing Astrid Lindgren loved, it was play and imagination. At Astrid Lindgren’s World, there is plenty of space for free play, such as Noisy Village and the Play Barn in Katthult, the don’t-touch-the-ground course, the Mill, Mattis Forest and Little Troublemaker Street. And can you imagine more fun places to play than Pippi Longstocking’s Villa Villekulla or the deep passages under Mattis Castle? Outside of the scheduled performances, you are free to play in all our settings.
