This had a lot of information on the Vikings and the era.
The displays were amazing and so life like.
The audio tapes had a lot more detail in them than the display boards.

There's a room where you can dress up like a viking and take photos.
There's a cool giftshop if you want to buy some gifts, and a cafe if you're hungry.

I was looking for a Viking museum for my son. At first glance, and it looking atother pictures, this feels like a tourist trap. I can assure you, it is not . While most of what’s in the exhibits are replicas and interpretations, the painstaking detail that they took to build it makes it worth it. To the right of the cashiers desk on the opposite side of the wall of the gift shop, there is a video that shows you how they built the exhibits, with a surprising guest sitting in the middle of the chairs. Kids can try on various hats and armor with very accurate, re-created, weapons, helmets, etc. The exhibit itself takes about an hour. It is gruesome, so don’t take kids under eight years old. Great place to visit on the way to the nearby Maritime Museum, whale Museum, or volcano experience.
