Junibacken

The Junibacken theme park is inspired by Pippi Longstocking and other children's books by local authors. The storybook landscape can be traversed on a fun train ride, and kids can also explore and play in Pippi's house, Villa Villekulla, and even ride her horse, Old Man. Storytelling and a lovely bookstore are other highlights at Junibacken. There is also a restaurant and children's bookstore in the park.
