Welcome to Astrid Lindgren's World in the heart of Småland – a place where stories come to life and imagination runs free. This unique theme park, based on the beloved books by Astrid Lindgren, is a popular destination for families from all across Europe. Here, both children and adults can step straight into a world of storytelling and meet characters like Pippi Longstocking, Emil in Lönneberga, Ronja the Robber's Daughter, and Karlsson on the Roof – all brought to life through live theater, immersive settings, and playful encounters.

A World of Theater, Play, and Storytelling

Astrid Lindgren’s World is filled with theatrical stages, storybook buildings, and natural landscapes taken straight from the pages of Lindgren’s books. Every day, performances bring beloved scenes to life: watch Ronja run across Hell’s Gap, peek into the carpenter’s shed in Katthult, or dance in Villa Villekulla with Pippi. The environments are built at child scale to invite hands-on play – because here, play is just as important as the story.
