Astrid Lindgren’s World was founded in 1981. Villa Villekulla, Katthult, Karlsson-on-the-Roof’s house, Mattis’s castle and Katla’s cave are among the places from her stories you can visit, and there are more besides. The trade-off is the season: the park is open daily from 13 May to 16 August, and beyond that only some late-summer weekends and the autumn school holiday are given as open days, with no year named alongside those dates. Tickets are valid on any day of the season they were bought for, and multi-day tickets have to be used on consecutive days. If one day turns out to be too short, a day ticket can be upgraded to a multi-day ticket at the ticket office after 15:00 on the same day, paying the difference. Families bringing their own food are welcome to sit down somewhere and eat, though it isn’t specified whether that means inside or outside the park gates. A park ticket also gives 25% off admission to Näs, Astrid Lindgren’s childhood home.
