Wonderful place and staff. A real travel to the past age of the viking. Would have like to spend more time there.

Lofotr Viking Museum is an ''all day adventure''. At the entrance, you can get official mobile device and look a all sort of historic elements. Also, the movie theater is included in price. Guided tours are superbly prepared, staff is professional and interesting to listen to. After the tour you can roam around for free. Outside of museum, towards sea, you can go on a viking style boat ride for free. Tourists usually do this also. For kids there are axe throwing, longbow shooting etc. There are two restaurants with ok prices for you to sit down and eat.

Great museum with the traditional mixed with the usual museum elements. It's very interactive and they try to relate through an active learning experience - you can go on a long boat ride throw axes and shoot bow. They have a couple of big boar like pigs and a functioning blacksmith. The longhouse is the key element of the museum. Over all well worth visiting.

A fun place for the whole family, everyone enjoyed the interactive history lesson and museum displays. There is also archery, hammer throw and a boat. And lovely views. The food was good to, much of it using core ingredients that would have been available in viking times.

It is an expensive museum and it only opens from 12 to 3, and they close eventhough you are still inside. But the viking home recreation is really nice, and if you schedule it with time, there is a special viking dinner which sounds great.

A lot of money spent for fancy high tech and high quality movie. But what is the story behind? There is nothing to be learned because you are never introduced into the Vikings topic. Ask yourself after visiting: what do you remember? Honestly? no idea! Such a pitty.
I must say we were in off-season. This might make a difference.response / report this review -

The museum part is tiny, and not very interesting in my opinion. More a representation of what life was at that time, not a real presentation of vikings. (Go in Oslo for that, good museum there)
However the longhouse is extraordinary, and there are people inside explaining you stuff. We did not participated to the feast because everyone said it was too expensive for what it is, but the longhouse in itself is worth it. Definitely.response / report this review -

The exhibition is a bit small, although with much detail in the headsets for each object. There is a short movie about the residents of the place (so-so but I guess a nice addition). The Viking ship down by the water was very nice - you can row the boat every hour out into the water, for 15 minutes. There is also a smithy and a small kiosk selling food and drinks. Outside of the museum they made a big Viking stew with lamb, sold at outrageous prices (although it looked nice). The other halls of the Viking place were interactive, and gave a good feeling for how it could have looked once upon a time. The coffee place/restaurant is made int the form of a Viking hall, but with glass everywhere - it was very stylish!
