About Junibacken
Junibacken is an amusement park on Djurgården island in Stockholm devoted to Swedish-language children's literature. Named after the farm in Astrid Lindgren's novels, it opened in 1996 and is one of the city's most-visited attractions. The focus is on characters such as Pippi Longstocking, Karlsson-on-the-Roof, and the Moomins. You can ride a richly detailed fairy-tale train that takes you through scenes from the books, with Astrid Lindgren's own voice heard in the Swedish version. The grounds also include a replica playhouse of Villa Villekulla (Pippi's home), a theater, a restaurant, and changing special exhibitions on various authors.

Astrid Lindgren, author of Pippi Longstocking, Karlsson-on-the-Roof and numerous other children's books, is by far Sweden's most popular writer of children's books. Located on the Djurgården island, like many other child-friendly attractions, Junibacken could be described as an indoor theme-park dedicated to the world of her (and a few other Swedish writers') stories. There is also a restaurant.
