The Jorvik Viking Centre is a museum and visitor attraction in York, England, containing lifelike mannequins and life-size dioramas depicting Viking life in the city. Visitors are taken through the dioramas in small carriages equipped with speakers. You essentially go on this brilliant ride that takes you back in time to 10th Century York, and on the very site that you are standing on, they reconstruct the Viking streets! It’s a wholly immersive experience with the sights, sounds and even smells designed to give you a feel of what life was really like.
The carriages take around 20 minutes then there are other parts that are set out more like a museum. All in all we were in there for about 1.5 hours, but you could have taken longer. My daughter loved it, as did my Mum who we also took along. I love days out like this – interesting, informative but above all fun! A great attraction – if you’re visiting York you must go!
