Junibacken was one of the main reasons we visited Stockholm. My daughter is a big fan of Pippi Longstocking and was eager to see the museum. We bought our tickets a couple of days in advance, and when purchasing online, it’s also possible to reserve seats for the theater show. The show itself is free, but you must book a seat in advance, as it’s not possible to stay and watch without one. I had read that there are usually long queues to enter the museum, but we were lucky and got in about 10 minutes before our ticketed time. Note that when you buy tickets online, you can enter within 30 minutes of the time specified on the ticket. The museum overall is okay. The first floor has a nice play area, a creativity zone where kids can make crafts, and a room filled with soft blocks that can be used for building. The highlight of the museum is definitely the train ride. It was very interesting, and you can choose the language for the audio tour. The last stop of the train is on the second floor at Villa Villekulla—Pippi’s residence. This area has another cute play space and the theater stage. Although the show was in Swedish, it was still enjoyable. After the show, we visited the dining area, which is designed like a circus. The cafeteria offers some traditional meals, like Swedish meatballs, as well as pancakes for kids.

A bit overpriced ! Generally, a nice and joyful place for children. Mostly appreciated, I suppose, by those children who have read the related children books - the chance is quite big though! Otherwise nice scenery and a short train tour, nothing spectacular, in a global perspective. A really nice book store! There's no book you can't find there! A cafe-restaurant with great views though a relatively small terass for the crowded days and, no place, in the restaurant itself for child activities, so that parents can take a cup of coffee or tea without taking their eyes from their children! Furthermore there's a too small stroller parking-site since you can't take the stroller with you inside the museum but without any locking devices. Pity that it's impossible for the accompanying parents to take their exhausted and now-sleeping-child inside the cafeteria for a moment of rest!

It feels like a paid playground where hundreds of children (each with 1-2 parents) are trying to fit in at the same time. Too many people!! Noisy, fussy, unclear. Tickets are expensive (it’s better to buy using the QR code from the poster on the street - it will be a little cheaper). For scheduled performances (only in Swedish), you have to pay extra. A delightful train ride (there is an option to select a language) - well done and interesting even for an adult! But to get on the train, we had to stand in line for about 15 minutes... There is a cafe on site with very tasty meatballs and mashed potatoes ;)

Our 6 year old had a great time. The rest of us were not super impressed. I think that if you speak Swedish, are familiar with the stories, and like standing while your kids play, this is a good place to go. There's a building space, one play space filled with standing adults, an indoor story train which was entertaining but would have been better if we were familiar with the stories, a small outdoor playground and a restaurant. The actors did a nice job with the theater production, but it was only in swedish and standing room only. Recommend for ages 1-5. It's definitely designed for very young kids

Absolutely amazing children museum with many activities, surprises (tonnels hidden behind clothes), suitable for children of different ages and also pleasant for adults. It would be enjoyable also for children unfamiliar with the books featured in the museum. In addition to covering many characters from several Swedish authors, it's available in many languages. The train ride over the books of Astrid Lindgren is a must and also the museum cafe is nice - they serve meatballs with a selection of unlimited supply of three types of jam! In addition to all this the museum is not too crowded or noisy.

This place is excellent for young and old, but with an emphasis on the young! If you’re familiar with Astrid Lindgren’s stories (in particular Pippi Longstocking), then this place should be visited. Even if you don’t know of her stories, bring your kids and learn all about them. The company has done a great job with setting up everything here and putting on a great show (multiple shows in fact!). The people working here also are all so very nice and service minded! The restaurant is also excellent and very well laid out (check out the photo!). I will visit this place again in the future for sure!
