The world-famous JORVIK Viking Centre is NOW OPEN and ready to take you back in time to discover the Return of the Vikings to York!

The centre’s gallery experiences have been completely updated, with new display cases allowing you to get up close to the astounding Viking artefacts that inspired the creation of JORVIK.

Reviews
It was an amazing experience. The glass flooring covering a recreation of what was discovered was incredible. The staff were terrific. Nothing was too much for them to give visitors an unforgettable visit. The experts were so engaging, explaining what was found and how they'd been used. They bought artifacts to life, with fun and subject enthusiasm. They made a good experience, excellent.nI highly recommend this location.
Been before 10yrs ago. Has been updated. Well worth a visit. Would go back if in the area or staying over. Very interesting and intellectual. Some thing for everyone regardless of age. Book in advance. Takes you back in time. With artefacts. There's a glass floor with evidence of what has been found.
My wife and son are Danish and we enjoyed the museum. It is a little crazy you need to preorder tickets though. It was a very short museum and if you come on a day trip make sure to book in advance there really is no reason it is this way in my opinion.
Adored our visit to Jorvik! Well priced for how long we spent in there, staff ran a nice tight ship. As history buffs, the ride gave an interesting insight into what was found during the excavation 40 years back. Will spend some more time reading about it in my own time!
Had most interesting & joyfulled experience. The excellent displays & buggy ride gave you amazing insight to the Viking lives in Coppergate.nStaff full of information & glad to share it. Booking prior would be bestnWell done to all staff. The manakins took me back in time. Sights, noises & smells !!
