Stay childfriendly

The guest accommodation at Astrid Lindgren’s World has been built right next to the park. We offer several different accommodation options, in houses where the streets and surroundings are inspired by early 20th-century Vimmerby – ‘The Tiny Town’ – or in slightly smaller cottages with their own patios near the forest. If you are travelling with a caravan or motorhome, you can stay in our area with pitches just 150 metres from the main entrance to Astrid Lindgren’s World.

Book accommodation

Astrid Lindgren’s World is unlike anywhere else. Here, there is always joy, play and laughter. And Pippi Longstocking, Emil, Karlsson and many other popular characters and places from Astrid Lindgren’s books are always nearby. It is here in the park that the big moments occur, when children can meet, play and get up to mischief with their favourite characters in real life. Here, stories come to life.

A day at Astrid Lindgren’s World

Astrid Lindgren’s World is a living environment, where scenes from Astrid’s stories play out every day. And it doesn’t just have to be on a theatre stage, often you can get much closer than that. Sometimes you can even find yourself at the centre of the action. When the show is over, it’s your turn. Jump in and play in the same places that were stages just moments ago. Climb around with Ronja in Mattis Castle, take a tour of Villa Villekulla with Pippi or go down the slide with the one and only Karlsson on the Roof.

Plan your visit

A world of many worlds

The park is pretty big, 180,000 sq. m, or more than 22 football pitches. There’s plenty of room to play and many shows to see, so we recommend staying for two days. Of course, it is possible to visit the park in one day, but in that case we recommend being there when we open the gates at 10:00.

How long does a visit take?

It is difficult to give a clear answer to how long it takes to visit Astrid Lindgren’s World. We like visits to be on children’s terms. Most people spend two days in the park, but if you’re visiting us for the day, choose a few characters and shows and avoid rushing around trying to do everything.

Sweden’s largest outdoor theatre

During our summer season, nearly 30 different shows are performed every day, and the programme is designed to ensure that there is always something to suit all ages. If you have slightly older children, we recommend seeing the last performances of the day, which are always extra special – with pyrotechnics and cool effects. We particularly recommend seeing ‘The Day of Battle’, ‘Here comes Pippi Longstocking’ and ‘An encounter between beasts!’ for some extra noise and spectacle!

Packing tips from our guests

  • There are no roofs on the stands in the larger venues and on a summer’s day it can get quite hot. So, don’t forget a sun hat/cap and bring your own water bottle to fill up to make sure you can get plenty of water.
  • Bring your own packed lunch and a blanket if you want to sit on the grass. That way a little rest and energy replenishment is never far away. There are several cosy picnic and barbecue areas in the park.
  • Carts are available to rent at the entrance to tow children and luggage. Remember to put all your valuables in a separate bag that is easy to carry. During the performances, you must leave your cart unattended in a special parking space for prams and carts.
  • Feel free to bring a swimsuit/change of clothes if the children want to play in the water.
  • Don’t forget your rainwear! Almost everything is outdoors and the performances don’t stop, not even for pouring rain – and umbrellas are not allowed during the performances.
  • At the entrance, there are yellow bands for children to wear around their wrists with names and phone numbers written on them in case they get lost. Bring your own pen so you don’t have to queue and wait for everyone to finish writing.
