Moominworld sits on Kailo Island, connected to the mainland by a short footbridge. The park recreates the world of Tove Jansson's books — the blue Moominhouse, Snork Maiden's house, the lighthouse — with care and without irony. It is aimed at young children, but adults who grew up with the books find it quietly moving.
The season runs from mid-June to mid-August, with an additional winter week in February called Winter Moominworld. Tickets should be booked well in advance in summer, especially for weekends. The island is small enough to see everything in a day, and the pace is deliberately unhurried.
