As you enter Junibacken you find yourself in ‘Storybook Square’, where Alfie Atkins, the Moomins and many, many more lovable characters await. Kids can go wild at Villa Villekulla; run around, climb up and down, try on clothes and ride Pippi’s horse.

At Storybook World you’ll meet the characters of the famous Swedish children’s author and artist Elsa Beskow. You can wander around ‘Peter in Blueberry Land’, visit ‘Hattstugan’ and even ride on the back of a giant bat.
