Moominworld

Moominworld sits on an island in Naantali and brings the fictional Moominvalley to life with different zones that represent locations from the stories. The grounds include the famous blue house, various dwellings, and outdoor spaces where visitors can explore and experience the settings they know from the books.

The site opened in 1993 and draws from the stories of Finnish author Tove Jansson, which had been beloved since the mid-1900s. The island was transformed to make the literary worlds of these classics tangible for visitors.

The Moomin characters hold deep meaning in Finnish culture and are instantly recognizable across generations. You can meet these beloved figures here as they appear in the stories and films.

The park operates seasonally, and planning ahead to purchase tickets helps avoid long queues. Budget several hours to explore the different areas and participate in activities at a relaxed pace.

The park prioritizes storytelling and theater shows over mechanical rides, setting it apart from typical amusement parks. Visitors experience the tales through guided walks, performances, and direct encounters with the characters.
