Moominworld in Naantali

Moominworld in Naantali is a theme park built around Tove Jansson's Moomins and their friends in Moominvalley. The park is primarily aimed at families with children, but it is of course also nice to stroll around as an adult Moomin lover.

Visiting Moominworld

Moominworld is open during the summer and you can buy a one-day ticket, a two-day ticket or a season pass. The price will be slightly lower if you buy a ticket online instead of at the entrance.

There is a special Moomin car park, from where there are shuttle buses to the park, but it is also possible to park elsewhere. We found a free spot in the Kopparberget car park, and walked from there.

Magic bracelet

When you enter the area, you can choose to put on a 'magic bracelet' if you wish. For this to work, you must also download the "Muuimaailma" app. Once in the app, you can choose Swedish as the language, but the steps before that were in Finnish, so the staff had to help ... which they were happy to do!

What is the magic bracelet used for? Well, you hold it against shell icons here and there in the park, and things happen ...

Exploring a fairytale world

Otherwise, there are many different places to discover in the park. You can, for example, visit Sniff's house, Hemulen's house, the Witch's house, the Fairy Tale Path, Vilopark, the Labyrinth and many other places.

In many of the houses you can meet and talk to the different Moomin characters.

In the Cave of the Hatty Nights, you can see when a thunderstorm is coming, and when the Hatty Nights are suddenly electrified ...

Other sites include the bathhouse, where Edvard the dodo rests, and the rapids with the suspension bridge.

Restaurants, cafes and shops

There are also very many food outlets in the park. We couldn't count all the restaurants, burger joints, cafés and ice cream parlours, but there are many. How about Mum's Kitchen, Snork's Potato Factory, the Invention Café or Hemulen's Ice Cream?

You can also get fun face paintings or shop for souvenirs and toys, with Moominvalley motifs of course ...
