Astrid Lindgren’s World is open daily from 16 May to 17 August 2025. We are also open some weekends in late summer and during the autumn school holidays. See our seasons, opening hours and programmes below.

To opening hours & calendar

Admission prices vary depending on the season you want to visit us. Here you can find information about entrance tickets and annual passes.

No, there are ticket offices at the entrance that are available during the park opening hours. However, to give you more time to discover the park, we recommend purchasing your entrance and parking tickets in advance.

Advance tickets

No, you do not need to prebook. Your annual pass acts as a ticket that you can show at the entrance to enter the park.

No, all the theatre performances at Astrid Lindgren’s World are included in the admission price.

We offer free admission for personal carers. Read more about how to get a ticket as a personal carer here.

The number of tickets sold per day is not limited. The park is large, 180,000 m2, or more than 22 football pitches, so we do no limit the number of tickets we sell per day.

The car park is adjacent to the entrance and costs SEK 85 sek/day.

If you need to charge your electric car, we also have 41 e-charging points. These spaces cannot be booked in advance and you must pay for charging yourself.

While the park is for children, there are some minor exceptions. You cannot bring a pushchair to our theatre performances or restaurants for safety reasons. We therefore have spaces just outside the theatres and restaurants where you can leave pushchairs.

Yes, carts are available for hire inside the entrance gates for SEK 75/day. These cannot be pre-booked. For safety reasons, you cannot bring carts into the theatre environments. We therefore have spaces just outside the theatres where you can leave carts.

Yes, dogs are welcome in the park. However, to accommodate allergy sufferers, dogs are not allowed in the buildings or on our outdoor restaurant and café seating areas. Many of our performances involve animals, so we ask visitors with dogs to sit in the upper half of the auditorium. Water bowls are available in several locations around the park.

During the summer season, there are about 30 performances every day.

See the current theatre programme

Each performance is 20-30 minutes long and when the show is over you can jump in and play in the setting that was a stage just moments ago.

All the shows in the park are performed in Swedish only. Most of the stories performed are well known by children, so language is rarely a barrier. Most performances also include music, song and dance.

In the case of heavy rain or other severe weather, some performances may be postponed until the weather clears, and exceptionally may be cancelled. Should it start raining during a performance, we ask you not to unfold your umbrella as it obscures the view for other visitors. Of course, you can always meet the various characters at the scheduled times. Sometimes, in the case of persistent rain, the characters may move indoors.

Yes, of course, and there are plenty of picnic spots. We can particularly recommend the Birch Trees, below The Tiny, Tiny Town, and the Picnic Trail.

Yes, there are proper barbecue areas outside Wild Rose Valley, in the Birch Trees and at the Mill. Each barbecue area has charcoal and lighter fluid available.

Yes, if you’re a vegetarian or vegan, there’s plenty to choose from.

Yes, play is the fundamental purpose of Astrid Lindgren’s World. There are plenty of places for both adults and children to play to their heart’s content. Can you think of more fun places to play than Villa Villekulla, Mattis Castle or among the Ancient Mountains? There are also places designed solely for play, such as Noisy Village, Simon Small’s House and the play barn in Katthult, for example.
