Excellent experience - Very insightful! All team was amazing! The kids really enjoyed and it’s very informative.
No one got sick or nauseated while doing the experience, including the kids (8 and 12).

Excellent! A do not miss experience. - Well, this was great. The history lesson was entertaining, handling the artefacts really brought home the reality of the Viking era peoples. But of course the highlight was the VR session. Excellent, excellent. A great price, especially if you get the combo ticket with the other museums.

Great experience find out the real story about vikings - What a surprise we got today . Had the most informative and interesting chat with Brianna and Bart even before the experience started. So knowledgable I could have chatted to them both all day about Vikings ( their job description) Danes & Norwegians . They loved the Irish as they were beautiful but sadly took them for slaves!! this and many more fascinating facts we learnt today! Then we had the virtual experience after some background which was so enjoyable . Thank you Brianna &Bart could have talked to you all day .

Different from the usual museums - A really interesting talk about the vikings followed by a fabulous VR experience ,it was held in a thatched building and this made it more authentic 👌

Viking History comes alive - Very enjoyable experience to use VR and learn about Vikings in Ireland. Unfortunately, as North Americans, we were a little ignorant of some names and events that are not part of our history, we got a bit lost in the story telling. But it didn’t take away too much from the overall experience.

Dissatisfied. - I walk in, the woman at reception desk sat down in a chair and completely ignored me. She didn’t greet me at all and didn’t t acknowledge my pressure. I ask do you sell tickets. She said yes and she didn’t ask if I want one. I felt her attitude was ignorant and felt like she didn’t want to be there. It took her a few minutes to inquire why I was here.
