Essentials about Junibacken in brief

For children, especially Astrid Lindgren fans, a visit to Junibacken is an absolute must on a trip to Stockholm. Located on the island of Djurgården, the small amusement park is a magical journey into the world of the Swedish children’s author. A visit to Junibacken promises lots of fun and adventure and, of course, a good dose of fantasy.

The history of Junibacken

Junibacken opened in 1996 and has since become one of the most popular destinations for families in Stockholm. The center was created to inspire children’s imaginations and bring Astrid Lindgren’s timeless stories to life.

The attractions of Junibacken

The Pippi Longstocking House

One of the outstanding features of Junibacken is the living Pippi Longstocking house, which has been recreated on the grounds. Here, children and adults can discover the colorful world of Pippi Longstocking, wander through her house and take part in her wild adventures.

The fairytale train

A highlight of the June visit is the fairytale train, a magical train ride through the stories of Astrid Lindgren. The train takes visitors through the worlds of “Pippi Longstocking”, “Michel from Lönneberga”, “The Brothers Lionheart” and other well-known works. The detailed backdrops and lovingly designed figures bring the stories to life.
