\n Step into the fairy tales <\/h3>\n
\n

In the middle of Sm\u00e5land, in the town of Vimmerby, Astrid Lindgren’s World is located just a stone’s throw from Astrid Lindgren’s childhood home. Almost half a million visitors come every year to meet Pippi Longstocking, Emil in L\u00f6nneberga, Ronja the Robber’s Daughter and all the others.<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n

\n

Here, visitors can step straight into the world of fairy tales and experience scenes and environments directly taken from Astrid Lindgren’s stories. The park features carefully constructed environments such as Villa Villekulla, Katthult and Mattisborgen, where both children and adults can watch performances and interact with their favorite characters.<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n

\n

Every day, there are theatrical performances around the park, where actors bring the well-known stories to life. In between performances, there is a chance to meet the characters, play in the imaginative environments, or explore the park’s many playgrounds.<\/p>\n

\n Play in focus <\/h3>\n
\n

If there was one thing Astrid Lindgren loved, it was play and imagination. In Astrid Lindgren’s World, there is therefore plenty of space for free play, such as Bullerbyn and the play barn in Katthult, the Inte-st\u00f6ta-marken-banan, Kvarnen, Mattisskogen and Lilla Br\u00e5kmakargatan. And can you think of more fun places to play than Pippi Longstocking’s Villa Villekulla or the deep corridors under Mattisborgen? When there is no performance going on, there is free play in the environments.<\/p>\n
