Ribe VikingeCenter

This was a work day out from our diving Vessel and the Viking Centre does not disappoint!!!! I was really surprised how good it was it just gives you that feeling of actually how it was back in the day the volunteers are great and very helpful they is lots todo and I believe you can actually live on the site dressed in all the Viking clothes to really be a Viking
The restaurant food was very good large portions and the shop has many items to buy and keep for memory’s.
This place is great for children of all ages and adults certainly recommend a day trip

Our trip to the Viking Center was well worth it! The area is quite big and you can easily spend 2-4 hours there. There are many vikings in the houses and tents and you can also talk to the. Many of them spoke German, others Danish. At some tents and houses you can also buy stuff such as wooden swords or jewelry. At each station there is some information about it (in Danish, German and English). The buildings are built in a way how archeologists think they looked like centuries ago. It is really interesting and there is a lot of extra activities for kids such as archery, wood crafting or coin minting (these come at an extra price, though). There is also livestock there such as chickens, cows, sheep, geese and pigs.

Keep in mind that everything is outdoor so dress accordingly. The entry fee was 19 euro per adult but well worth it.

It was great experience to see how the vikings lived thanks to the living actors. There are also some activities available on different times for free like making wooden nails, training with shield and sword as well as some paid activities like coin making, archery. I enclosed a photo of those. I recommend you to go to falconry show. It was amazing. Go there earlier before the appointed time as the sitting places can quickly run out :) The people in the village are really nice and eagerly explain you (also in English) what is their role in the village. In the shop there are plenty of souvenirs, there are very nice jewellery. It took as a little more than 4 hours to see all and to talk to the townsfolk.

A historical museum village, as it should be.
The surroundings of the village are very natural, the fences, bridges, everything is kept as close to the era as possible.
In the museum itself, there are guides but also individual actors who willingly tell you about their craft or everyday life. In any case, there is a lot of heart and soul in the museum.

Dogs are very welcome, our Podenco became a little attraction for the museum team.
We will definitely come again.

If you go as far as Ribe, you won't regret it! The Viking village is a real blast from the past, every object, house and environment is cared for by archaeologists happy to explain the history of this people. Go there even in the rain, the real Vikings are not afraid of the weather!

What a wonderful experience, for children, but also for adults. Very friendly people, willing to tell their stories and bring you back in time. A lot to see and to do. Absolutely worth the visit. Best to go early, it's a very popular (busy) place later in the day.

Very nicely done.
A must-do for every tourist in the neighborhood.
Friendly staff (willing to answer your questions), detailed houses, informative....
Dogs are allowed. Kids can buy an activity card and there is a very pretty themed playground.

A fun, learning and beautiful experience. It is mainly outdoors, so dress appropriately. There are many cool Viking buildings, and the "actors" are very engaged.

We loved this. The kids had a great time finding the culprit who stole Frida's salt. All
the things they could do, it was amazing and so much fun. The grown-ups had just as much fun looking around and joining the kids in the salt mystery. And I think our daughter will try out archery at home now.

Wonderful outdoor museum.

It's like you have travelled in time and suddenly you are a viking, living with vikings. I love it.

It’s just outstanding place to visit. Kids friendly

I mean... the fact that the city was rebuild by the Museumteam? - great!
The fact that you (and your children!) can relive the early scandinavian medieval age by just entering the buildings and talk to staff and reenactors? - Awesome!
The fact you can eat great meals and... holy moly... the VilDotto is just amazing🤤... -Mindblowing! :D
11/10 - can absolutely recommend!!!

Very interesting historic park. We were surprised by the knowledge of "actors" they will answer all your questions.
The park is big with different activities over the day.
Also, there's a restaurant for a quick break during the visit.
Must visit if you are near Ribe.

If you like Vikings and markets, this is the place. There is a lot to experinece. The live bird show is really exciting. There is a lot to see and to do for the kids.

Absolutely beautiful place. Very recommendable, especially in May during the Viking Market. Also great for families with kids, since there are animals and many nice activities for children.

A living museum and full immersive experience in the viking era. The village is a reconstruction of Ribe during the viking era. It very a fantastic learning experience for kids and adults: tools and lifestyle from the 8th century are brought back to life for reenacting volunteers. Many activities for children during the day, from role plays and coins making to archery and sword training.

Amazing educational experience allowing you to meet geniune craftspersons using traditional Viking methods. Each worker is both knowledgeable around their own craft, but also the history and origin of it.

It's well worth spending several hours here to fully appreciate the experience. If you have young children, there's plenty of activities for them to get hands on with.

I love this place. Spent the entire time drinking mead walking about enjoying every moment. Lots to see and do.

Beautiful viking center for experimental archeology. It is in constant development, they are painting the church and started building 4 new houses at the moment. The only thing that could be improved is the quality of some of the reenactors walking around. Things such as glasses, contemporary hair etc. Can have a great influence on the level of immersion, and would lift the center to an even higher level in my opinion. The restaurant serves very tasty foods!
