Reviews
An interesting museum with plenty of history and insight into the Viking period of York. The ride was good and it offered great historical information into the Viking era of this city that dates back to 866 AD. They have many artifacts discovered from the Coppergate Dig that took place from 1976-1981. On display here are skeletons of a male and two women, beads, metal swords, cutlery and cookware, socks, shoes, clothing etc. The ride is nice and slow and nothing to worry about. You can select a language for the narration to suit your needs. If you are into Viking history it is worth the trip. They offer options for purchase including child and senior discounts. Staff are informative and eager to share information all you have to do is stop. The value for money was well worth it. Allow an hour to visit and then there is a gift shop.
Our first visit and it was amazing! The staff were great and answered all the questions we asked. The ride was so interesting and we came away with so much knowledge about the viking settlements in and around York. I even got a free viking coin because it was my birthday! Well worth the visit
Interesting place. However, personally, I expected more.nExpierence included sitting in the cart that took you around the village. Automated audio was playing explaining things. Very interesting.nSadly, that was it. They did have a small museum like at the end. I expected people interction dressed up as vikings and telling/ showing things.nThe staff that was there were very helpful and friendly.nThe ticket for a family of 4 costs was £46.nWe purchased tickets 2 days in advance.nThere is no car park facility as it's in the town centre.nNo drink or food inside but plenty outside the Viking centre.
Awesome place to visit for a viking experience. The ride was fun and informative as we're the staff working there. Sidenote was a surprising shock to find a fellow kiwi working at the gift shop there.
Staff were super helpful and kind accommodating my mobility issues.I transferred to their wheelchair for the tour. At no point did they make me feel a nuisance nor did they patronise as is often my experience elsewhere. Well done The tour is very interesting and informative especially for viking fanatics like us.
