Amazing! Seeing the recreational viking houses is like going back in time. The King Hall building was impressive with its 62m, and beautiful wooden structure. The only comment is the pricing, students are considered above 18y if studying but those between 12-18y that are studying are considered adults. We did not see the logic behind, anyway it is worth to visit.

Perfect balance of fun and educational. Our kids of 9, 12 and 14 years old all enjoyed it, and there’s of course a lot to see for the adults too.

Wonderful place to explore on a day out. We loved the Viking hall the whole village, it’s all so beautiful. It was definitely worth the visit from Copenhagen. We also found it very easily and well connected to arrive and go back by train and bus. We will forever cherish this day.

Great Museum, particularly for children. Lots to do and touch and try! Lots of interesting explanations. Awesome Rødgrød in the café :) Tip: with the Copenhagen Card you can also visit the Viking Ship Museum as well as the Lejre Museum (and lots of things in Copenhagen). It's worth it!

Of all the places I saw in Copenhagen I think this is my favorite. The knowledge of the staff and their interest in answering questions and just fitting into the environment is applaudable. The sheer size of the place with its Viking zone as well as different time periods going back to the stone ages. I also love how there are places to engage with the environment and learning centers for children such as making butter, excavating, or dying workshops. This is definitely a place that is very family friendly and is also enjoyable as an adult who's traveling solo. If you are curious and have questions, the staff are willing and able to answer questions. This is definitely a place I will remember.

Travel back in time. This place is amazing. We spend here all day with v3 girls age 7 to 10 from the minute they opened until they closed and we haven't been able to discover everything. From making flower and baking bread, to canoeing, dressing up the whole family in ancient cloth, treasure hunting, wearing Viking armour and many more activities, this place is full of fun and excitement. Many activities take place outside and it can be a bit tricky on a rainy day. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. My daughter lost her hat and after having been round asking everybody the hat eventually was found by a staff member and the lady traced us down the whole territory to pass it back to my daughter. Thanks to all the staff member. Don’t miss the “Landbohusene”. We were there Easter time and the kids learned to dye eggs with natural ingredients. All in all a day worthwhile spent. Dress warm when visiting off summer and you will have lots of fun.

Went to visit here because it's included in the Copenhagen Card attractions! I got lucky with a beautiful day with a beautiful scenery! This place is big enough that I suggest coming here early so you can go see as much as you want so you can also visit the nearby Viking museum. I got here in the afternoon and I didn't really have much time to learn and explore the whole place. I pretty much just went to the highlights to make my visit worth it. I love how you can get into the animal pens and get close to the animals. It's definitely a more family friendly attraction site! If you want to get away from the city for a day, then this is a great place to visit!

My family and I absolutely loved visiting here! We only found it by chance- it’s about 45 minutes away from Copenhagen. Everyone who worked there was so kind, welcoming and happy to share their knowledge! Two memories of this adventure stand out most to me- first, I had such an interesting and long conversation with a Cultural Historian who worked in the Viking Hall. She explained history of who the hall would have been used and the intricate symbolism of the architecture. We also discussed the engineering of the building. She was such a pleasure to talk to! My second favorite memory was seeing how meals were made in true medieval fashion. We were invited to watch them extract food from an old fashioned “oven” (see pictures). We watched as they pulled out bread, meats and soup… so cool to see! I highly HIGHLY recommend everyone come here to learn about Danish history.
