Jorvik Viking Centre Reviews

We decided to have a day trip to York a few months ago as it was the school holidays, and everyone had a bit of money to spend and was looking forward to a good day out. A few days before the trip, my Mum won some tickets to get into Jorvik Viking Centre in the centre of York for free, and as it was free we decided we might as well go. ...  Read the complete review

During my four days trip to York City I would like to say Jorvik Viking Centre was the most interesting and enjoyable place I visited. I'm comparing it to sites, such as Clifford's Tower, National Railway Museum, York Castle Museum, and York Minster, etc. General information Jorvik Viking Centre is located within the ...  Read the complete review

Armed with our York Passes and our York Pass Guide Book Mum & I headed to JORVIK Viking Centre in the afternoon of the first day of our 3 day trip to York, having already visited Fairfax House and York Castle Museum. JORVIK Viking Centre was opened to the public in April 1984. The centre was built on a site that had been excavated ...  Read the complete review

I visited this quirky bit of York in July 2009. I must say, this wasn't what I was expecting. I had envisaged voluptuous ladies with plaited blonde wigs and the old viking helmets, with some old ships thrown in for good measure. At the beginning of my visit, we were treated to a little "simulator" experience which ...  Read the complete review

I've already written a review based on our early May trip to Yorkshire. We spent a day in York, which was a pleasantly surprisingly city. We had a lovely sunny day which was a big help so I questioned whether or not it was worth paying to inside to the Jorvik Viking experience. However, my husband had been as a child, was terribly frightened ...  Read the complete review

Since opening its doors to the public in 1984 the Jorvik Viking Centre in York has attracted over 15 million visitors and won numerous tourist awards, establishing itself as one of the UK's major tourist attractions.

Luckily we had boooked in advance so didnt have to queue. This was a good job since there were long queues to go in. The main part of the jorvik attraction is the ride that takes you through the ...  Read the complete review

Since I have been to lots of places in the UK, I decided I needed to visit York since I hadn't been. Many people have told me it was nice so I went ahead. When I got there it seemed more like a small town with some nice scenery. A very historical looking town but the main attraction I was looking for was the Viking Centre. I ...  Read the complete review

As you may be aware, the famous Jorvik Viking Centre in York received a massive £5m grant as a "millennium" project for the north of England not so long ago. The centre was closed for several months of last year while this pot of cash was spent updating and improving the ever popular visitor attraction, and it has recently reopened to ...  Read the complete review

The Jorvik Viking Centre Museum is one of the most unusual museums I have ever visited. From memory (it was a few years ago now) it was relatively expensive but it was well worth it. You sit in a small car, a bit like the ones on the Ghost Train at the funfair, and you travel through a Viking city, Jorvik, founded in AD 867 on the site of what ...  Read the complete review

Jorvik Museum is a must - but just the once! Jorvik offers a faithful and fascinatingly accurate portrayal of life in the Viking settlement of 'Jorvik', later to be known as York. The reconstruction is genuinely quite spectacular - authentic to the last detail - including smells, you're trundled around the display on a ...  Read the complete review

The Jorvik centre is great if you want to know what life was like for the Vikings. It’s built to incorporate genuine Viking remains that were discovered in the 1980s so it’s as close to actually being in Jorvik as you can possibly get. Once you’re through the entrance all the staff are dressed as citizens of Jorvik and ...  Read the complete review
