Metsä Village is a large park and leisure area which is intended to evoke the happiness of the Nordic world through bringing visitors close to nature.

Modeled after the universe of the Moomins, the park brings to life the valley where the characters live and play and thus has few traditional attractions and is aimed more at recreating the look and feel of the fictional Moominvalley.
The park is roughly divided into four areas: Hajimari no Irie, Moominvalley, Kokemus, and Osabishiyama.
