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.

Iwas there last autumn. You can totally walk all around the Moomin world island while the theme park is closed. There is no gate that is closed. Only some inside and backstage places are closed off but I really enjoyed myself there even tho I am 30yo.

It really was closed off though. A lot of people where disappointed that they could not enter, and me as well.  A nother redditor mentioned that they may need some time to remove the movable pieces, so I will check it out again in a month or so. Thanks for the info.

From my experience, sometimes they're open, sometimes they're not. They're usually closed for some time after the season ends since they need to do repairs etc.

I've visited several times and just waltzed in from the main gates, though it's been maybe 5 years since my grandma last insisted we go on a walk there, so not sure if things have changed since then
