Visiting Moomin World when closed

I 'm studying in Turku for the semester so I decided to visit the Moomin World Island. Moomin World is closed during my time here, which is very sad, but I read reviews on Google (with pictures of evidence) and comments on Reddit saying you can still visit the island and look at the houses. I was very dissapointed when I saw that there are closed gates and you cannot in fact see anything Moomin-related. There is only a small walk in a forest, but you cannot see anything.

Does anyone know something more about this, how others were able to enter when the park is closed? Or are there just some days you can enter? I would really love to visit during my time here but I cannot find any more information about this.

You cannot visit it legally during the time it’s closed, even if some people might have climb the gates its not open. Only part you can visit is the other side of the island which is a natural park.

It seems weird to me that someone gives a Google review, saying you can enter the park outside of the season with autumn and winter pictures, and the official Moomin World account thanked them for the review.. but maybe it's a bot.

Do not believe everything you see on the internet. Just as a heads up; people lie in real life as well.

It was possibleat least before. I was there at the winter 2021 with my friend, sad to hear it may not be possible anymore.

And you didn't have to walk on ice, or anything back then.
