In all honesty I found this museum a bit samey, yes it was interesting to see the recovered boats but as the saying goes 'if you've seen one you've seen them all'. The museum is well maintained and..... more

Fantastic museum, so much to see - the original Viking ships plus the replica vessels. We got to stand on a replica vessel floating on the water and that allowed us to feel a little of what it was...

One of the most amazing Viking boat museums I've had the pleasure of visiting. Some of the activities were scheduled to occur once or twice per day so proper planning is required. The buildings housed various activities and most were open to experience. The reconstruction of the boats, their history, and the two decades worth of restoration was amazing to see. The tour guides were passionate, energetic, and also had a great sense of humor. The cafe offered mead which was icing on the cake.

What a fantastic day out. The Viking Ship Museum was brilliant, staff were friendly and happy to answer any questions. It's good for the whole family. There is a little workshop with tools and wood. Kids can make their own boats and try them out in a designated pool to test them 😊. We went on a Sunday, which was very quiet. The little cafe was open which was lovely. So glad we made this museum one of our stops on our weekends away in Copenhagen. It was only a 35min train journey, reasonably priced and a regular service. A definite must for people that like Viking History ☺️.

A really nice, and informative museum. It is not just display of the old viking ships but also, the workshop where you can build something yourself or watch as works are being done, the very knowledgeable staff who are friendly and ready to answer your questions and all the little details that provide you with a really idea of how things were. I really enjoyed it and would totally recommend this museum be it for young ones or adults. Around the museum area, there is a restaurant but also area where you can lid on the grass and have a nice view of the water

Great museum where you can see 5 different viking ships found preserved on the bottom of the fjord. The museum is very well made and informative. One of the best parts is to see the workshop where they are recreating viking ships using the methods from the time period. You can also get on some of the boats already made in the harbor.
