Viking Experience

We really enjoyed our visit. The guide was very knowledgable and interesting. The VR was great. I would recommend this to anyone visiiting Waterford.

Disappointing

This is a tourist trap. Overpriced for what is essentially a 40 minute disjointed 3D movie about the history of the Vikings in Waterford. The woman who took our money and explained how things would work was lovely and answered our questions afterwards. But 'the experience ' was disappointing and certainly not worth the ticket price.

Brilliant

I brought my son to this last Saturday and it was absolutely amazing. He’s 8 and has autism and adhd, but managed to stayed tuned in for the entire experience, thanks in no small part to our host, Rhiannon (I may have spelled this wrong sorry) she was so informative, answered all questions and was so kind to my kiddo. She explained that she’s an osteo-archaeologist with a Viking background herself, she spoke multiple languages and had a genuine passion for Viking history, what an asset to the Waterford museum group. We both learned a lot and would probably do it again and take friends. Thanks so much.

A FAMILIARISATION TRIP

A FAMILIARISATION TRIP with the staff of Revolution Whiskey Bar, Waterford - loved the meet & greet - the detail of the Viking Longhouse - the Introduction by our Viking Reenactor - the VR was very informative & entertaining. Love to recommend this experience to Visitors to Waterford City.
