This place is nice and comforting. Before my planned visit I had the terrible idea to check the reviews on the Internet. Lots of adults saying it becomes boring, that there is not much to do, that this is just a place to buy more stuff after buying your ticket. However I have to disagree with that. First of all: I don't speak Finnish, I barely understand Swedish. Only my English is fine, although it isn't my native language. I am an adult, not a child. The day I went there, I was alone. I am shy, anxious, interacting is difficult for me. At first I decided to walk, get familiar with the place. I told myself that if it got boring I would leave quickly. But there are so many shows, one every hour, or even every 30 minutes at some point. And there are always many characters (actors, I know, but let's keep the magic) hanging around. Many activities to participate in EVEN as an adult. The characters were willing to interact with me. Sure, the children come first, that is normal. However I got to talk with most of them. I was able to hug Moomin and friends multiple times. And it was easy to interact with the ones forbidden to talk as well. They were all in character until the end, I loved it. Now about the rest of the staff, especially those in the shops: they're amazing. The ones in the photo activity stand the day I visited were very nice and talkative. They perfectly explained how the activity worked. I was delighted to see my picture with Moomintroll. At some point it started raining, there was a huge storm for ~1h. The woman at Little My's Candy Shop was nice to all the people who stayed there until the weather became better. I stayed until the closing time. Thank you Moominworld for the wonderful experience. If you go there, have fun. Be willing to 'roleplay' a little.

The trip to Moomin World was a birthday gift for my daughter, and we both fell in love with the place! Located on the island in the forest, in beautiful nature, place has very authentic atmosphere - cosy, quiet, close to nature, feels very much like cosy home. I bought 2-day tickets online - 1-day ticket is 40 EUR while 2-day is just 45, and 2 days were not enough - I wish we stayed for longer. While for toddlers there might not be much difference between Moomin World and any playground, with an older child who loves Moomins (and adult too) it's great joy to explore all locations and activities, talk to animators and play. It's great when you don't need to rush and can be relaxed, have a picnic and slow down to enjoy time there. The animators are super friendly, they create happy atmosphere, play and have small talk with kids. We missed some characters as they were not present - we didn't see Too-Ticky, the Groke, magician. There was no ship we saw on older photos. I hope more experiences will be added, as we'd love to come next year! PS - for those who complain at prices - well, park works only 3 months per year and it can't be cheap as supermarket. Some people pay for flights and hotel to get there! Thank you for 2 happy days!

This was my 2nd visit but first with my now-teenage daughters! We arrived by train to Turku and took a taxi to the park (37,80e) - you can also take the bus 6 or 7 from the bus station nearby (1km),which takes 30mins + a 10min walk the other end. We bought our tickets online and saved some money, plus there was no queuing at the park. We had a very slow day in the park and we did it all in 4,5hrs. The characters are located around the Moomin House with no control, but there was no problem getting a photo with your favourites. The house was quite stuffy and loads of stairs, so watch out if you're not mobile. As for the food and snacks, watch out for the crazy portions! The prices might be high, but so is the food waste. Seriously, share meals and snacks because they outfaced everyone! Overall, it was a great day out, made even better by the great weather.

First of all, this place is irrationally overpriced. Price for kids and adults are same whether you spend whole day or just 2 hours. This is a fun place for kids and families who are moomin fans. Otherwise there is nothing much to do here. It is like taking a walk in well maintained forest. You can basically cover the whole moomin island in 2-3 hours. There are moomin characters who are very kind and sweet with everyone. Very few activities to actually do here. There are lots of food options inside but again the prices are high. Whole place is accessible on wheelchair and with strollers. There is also a small beach and a resting place amidst the forest which I really liked. There are no rides or swings, so overall the place doesn’t offer much.

Moomins are the love of my life so I loved the park, however, there are some things that could be changed there. I absolutely loved the Moomin house and the Hemulen cottage. The trails were very nice, as well as the Bath house with Edward. There were a lot of people but since the park covers almost a whole islet, it didn't feel crowded. The actors were constantly in their roles, entertaining also the adults. What would be nice to see is more interactive places both for children and adults, more free games and places to relax. I also didn't like paid photos with Moomin, although there are some moments when you can catch him outside of the paid photo booth. At least one performance a day in English would also be a good addition.

The whole family comprising two grandfathers, a grandmother, two parents including the four year old girl herself and her younger one month old sister visited this amazing wonderland cum park. We all had a lot of fun. It is spread over a very large area, ingeniously and very thoughtfully designed to engross not just the children but even grown ups. Visiting the Moomen house, playing the rolling balls, watering the flower pots, interacting with the all the Moomin characters, getting the tattoo, catching and identifying the fish, visiting the port, the beach, walking barefoot, getting our fortune told, all the delightful eats, and so much more. Each activity was great fun. Loved it, and will love to visit again.
