In this storybook house, you travel in small carriages through the world of children's book writer Astrid Lindgren, creator of the irrepressible Pippi Longstocking, among other characters. Lindgren's tales come alive as various scenes are revealed. Parents can enjoy a welcome moment of rest after the mini-train ride as the children lose themselves in the near-life-size model of Pippi Longstocking's house. It's perfect for children ages four and up.
Inside an imposing late-Victorian structure, the Nordic Museum holds exhibits on many aspects of Swedish life, including trends, traditions, clothing, costumes, folk arts, and the culture of the Sami (pronounced sah-mee)—the formerly seminomadic reindeer herders who inhabit the far north. Families with children aged 5--8 years should visit the delightful "village life" play area (lekstugan) on the ground floor.
Dedicated to alcohol and Sweden's relationship with it, this museum comes with tasting rooms, a bar, and a restaurant as well as permanent exhibits that include Sweden: Spirits of a Nation, which passes through the seasons of the year via scenes, scents, and sounds—all while explaining how alcohol is produced.
