Great place! The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. The ride" around the settlement is well set out and provides loads of information. The ticket lets us go back as many times as we want within the next 12 months! What's not to like?"

Amazing experience will definitely recommend to visit, didn't get ticket in advance so had to wait 20 minutes but I was happy with it. People that are working inside are very helpful and knowledgeable. Going through time and different houses of Viking tomes was memorable and very educational. Ticket is £15 and is valid for 1 year so you can come back as many times as you like. Will recommend for everyone if visiting York

Not into museums. Was surprised my daughter booked us a visit. So glad she did. Was fascinating. Glass floor showing excavations, and the ride around reconstructed viking homes and businesses, with commentator giving loads of info. Afterwards a look around glass cabinets with tools, money and skeletons (brilliant description of age at death and ailments they would have suffered from!) Well worth a visit.

A really different experience to most museums - incredibly immersive to an extent I've never seen anywhere else. It's very accessible information to all ages and very interesting. It won't take too long to go through, it won't take up a whole half day for example, but it is definitely worth the entrance fee.

The Jorvik viking centre was fantastic! The staff are so informative and had soo much time for my young kids (4yo & 9yo) explaining all the artifacts. The ride is very interesting and gives you a real insight into the Viking lifestyle. I would highly recommend it.

This is a great experience, especially when visiting for the first time.It's worth buying tickets in advance to avoid waiting, but it's not essential.The staff are excellent and really add to the experience, guiding and providing interesting details.The 'ride' is like going through a film set. The scenes are great and align with the narration. The characters are animated and have some pretty realistic details.It can lack appeal for return visits, but hopefully they have scope to reinvent areas.

One of the best things to visit whilst in York. Reasonably priced and suited for both adults and children. Gives you an amazing insight into viking heritage and how they unearthed the actual viking site. The ride in the carriages that takes you around the village was very innovative and fun and you can select various languages for the commentary for tourists. The exhibition is very detailed after the ride and depending on your pace, you can be in there for at least 2-3 hours. You can revisit with your ticket throughout the year which was a bonus!

This was a fantastic attraction to visit, with stairs or a lift to enter straight away from the suitable reception with nice staff! The glass floor was excavations is wonderful in the first room, where black and white imagery depicts the area in olden days beautifully. What follows on the ride is a fascinating experience, telling stories from back in time and going through the moving settings! The artefacts are incredible too, giving an insight into how people lived way back then.

The museum is situated opposite another entertainment centre, has a long queue but only actually took about less than 5 minutes to get in. It was raining but we were not offered umbrellas, even though they had lots to give out in the gift shop which we realised at the end of the museum.Overall a really cool collection and the staff were very knowledgeable. It is unbelievable how we know so much about the Vikings and you can learn about them too!Also quite like that the museum will let you go back all year with one ticket. Not many places do that, so if you're a local or a big viking fan then that's a bonus if you'd want to go back!
