Astrid Lindgren's World is a park where theatre performances are staged daily, Visit Sweden says. The featured characters come from Astrid Lindgren's books. The venue describes children standing at the centre of the action, close enough to touch the characters. Between performances, visitors can meet Pippi, Emil and others in settings presented as their homes.

Visit Sweden says children can meet and play with Pippi Longstocking, Karlsson on the Roof, Emil in Lönneberga, Ronja Rövardotter and other favourites from the books. The characters move among guests in the park's environments and around the grounds between shows. A visit, as described by the venue and Visit Sweden, combines watching theatre with meeting the characters beyond the performances. Children can encounter them at close range and play with them in the settings associated with the stories. The venue says that meeting children and characters is what makes the visit memorable.

The park opened in 1981, according to Wikidata. Its address is Astrid Lindgrens Värld 1, Vimmerby.
