Vikingeskibsmuseet Roskilde Review

Sorry, but mega boring and we are not a museum muffle.
Were 2 adults and 1 child and we all found it .

This open air museum is super nice - mostly suitable for families

Nice place especially for the activities that you can do with children, nice also the museum with reconstructed ships.

If you are interested in history and Vikings, you must visit this place. You will also enjoy to dress up like Vikings and have a sailing experience in ship. Good place for kids. You can also buy some souvenirs from museum.

Museum of Viking Ships. It certainly deserves a walk in the areas open to the public to admire the shapes of the ships and the methodology with which they were built.
Inside the museum nothing of that.

Very interesting historical exhibition about well-preserved Viking ships sunk around 1080.

Exciting place, clearly worth a visit. Throughout the summer period, they work daily in the open museum on the ship end

Great museum rich with local Viking history. The recovered ships adds to the reality that Vikings once ruled the seas.

Very interesting museum with real ships up close, lots of background Infos and free tours available. Helpful staff in the whole area.
The rowing experience is highly recommended

A little and fun museum to visit if you happen to come here.

It's divided into two spaces, the one outdoor with interactive activities like "Build your small ship" and Viking games and the one inside with the actual museum and the remnants of the ships.

It is possible to book for a trip on a reproduction of a viking ship that last 50 minutes.

A wonderful visit to this museum that traces the epic of the Vikings. Magnificent.

The place was really enjoyable. Would ve liked a bit more on how the Vikings actually lived, to put it all in context. Only real downside was the elderly lady who staffed the gift shop. She was rude, unpleasant and put a dampener on an otherwise lovely day.

One of the most wonderful outdoor museums we've had the chance to enjoy. Everyone will speak with you. The Viking Boat is awesome to row. Just a really amazing day out learning Viking Culture.

Interesting historical dioramas, wonderfully preserved ships.

This place is amazing. They've got 5 Viking ships that were brought up from the bay.
They've also got working reconstructions on the ships that have been built as close to the originals as possible using the original tools and methods.
Great informative tours, decent cafe and games for kids.

Very interesting and fun, we enjoyed ourselves, to recommend

Pretty good show you like travelers to ancient times VIKING HISTORY VERY INTERESTED AND INTELLIGENT

Modern museum with some very impressive reconstructions of old wiking's ships.

The museum is cool. It is divided into two zones, the museum itself, indoor. Inside 4 drakkara, varying degrees of conservation. Plus an exposition about life in the time of the Vikings. And on the street is a large marina, with lots of modern Viking boats. Well made cues. There is an opportunity even to walk along the bay, but in advance, by appointment. Adults are interested, and if with children, definitely a visit. Were during the children's holidays. On the street, performances were arranged. There are not many foreign tourists, more local ones, IMHO.
By the way, they took a Copenhagen card. We arrived by commuter trains. I did not give a discount on the entrance ticket.

Quite pricy, like everything in DK :)
Do not miss the guided tours (included in the ticket) they are worth it.
We took the Saturday 13:00 EN boatyard tour (45 min) and the 14:00 EN inside the musem tour (45 mim).
Make sure to grab a snak before the tour at one of the onsite cafes. Really juicy sausages :)

You can see how the Vikings made their longships and watch actual boats being built. You can also sail out on the fjord on one. Then go inside the museum and see original ships

Very short, you can barely see 4-5 boats and a couple of recreations.

Car meets every Thursday - definitely worth a visit- Toys for the boys

Absolutely recommended here to stop, as we on the way to Copenhagen. To admire a lot of sights. The museum staff are passionate about it, you can tell. The exit with a dragon boat is worthwhile if you are not afraid of physical activity, because you can row yourself. The restaurant in the middle of the museum is very good. The only drawback were the toilets. Unfortunately they cost the fifth star.

The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde is Denmark's national museum for ships, seafaring and boatbuilding in the prehistoric and medieval period. The main focus of the museum is a permanent exhibition of five original Viking ships excavated nearby in 1962.

Interesting to see the restored ships and learn about Viking ships in general. I would have liked to learn more about Viking history beyond the 5 ships. Visiting in summer and being able to see the replica on the water would be nice.

If you are into boats and history this is an incredible museum. They do experimental archeology where they reconstruct the boats and invite visitors to sail them in the fjord.

There is an incredible find of 5 real Viking boats that were scuttled in the fjord over 1000 years ago.

This museum is very interactive and especially good for kids or those who are young at heart.

Fantastic museum! nonetheless! (and great bear)(and lovely surroundings)(and..) Just go visit the place!! It really is great!

A peek into the Viking age and their command over the seas!

This is an awesome place. Well worth the twenty minute train ride from Copenhagen and additional fifteen minute walk through the beautiful city of Roskilde.

I wasn't that impressed with this place but I did a viking sailing in the fjord and that was worth the price of admission.

Great.
The museum is great for going with children and doing things other than seeing the boats. You have to be very early if you want to go on a Viking ship.

Not much to see.
The vikings museum in Oslo is far better.
The discovery of six ancient boats was certainly fantastic but the museum is quite disappointing. The place is nice for children as there are many activities for them.

Excellent display of 5 deconstructed ancient Viking ships. Archeological.

Fantastic place! Catch the 203 from Roskilde train station--bus stop is 400m to your left.

A bit of long walk from the train station but worth it. It's amazing to see these artefacts from the Vikings Age.

An exciting museum where there are also a lot of activities for children. It is fun to see the old ships, the workshops and the museum, but immediately the greatest experience is probably for the children. However, you can get out and sail in one of the ships if you are brave enough and have the muscles to calm down!

Great experience, for kids and grown up. I have been disapointed that we couldn't go row on a wiking boat but we had a lot of fun anyway.

Good informative texts at the various exhibitions, and children and adults can wear suits and thus bring fun photos home. Definitely worth at least half a day.

Very interesting place, knowlegable guides, interesting exhibits, and good food at the cafe. A little on the small side but good for a half-day or so!

Loved it. Craft areas interesting, the boat trip was good though not very long (enough to row out and sail back in though).

Definitely highly recommended.

Denmark,
20 km from Copenhagen Beautiful, few other people, here you can relax.
In the footsteps of the Vikings, pure nature. 2020 a dream.

Nothing so special. The tickets are expensive and the main attractions you lose no more than 15 minutes.

it is a wonderful experience of going back in time!
The hands on activities and live boat rides are a wonderful way of engaging the audience, but i feel they should be included in the cost. now you have to pay for them separately. Anyways it needs time to soak in all the information. 2 hours is more than enough for basic roaming.

Absolutely not worth the ticket price !!! Exaggerated

Cozy and exciting place with many good activities and a good insight into our old Viking age.

Great experience & very well thought out displays. Especially enjoyed talking with the craftsman/persons that are passionate about their craft.

Really wonderful boating experience with knowledgeable hosts

Very nice and charming museum.
The old ships tell of our former land. Visit it you would remember it forever. There is water close by

To expensive to so small a museum. 130 ddk i prime season.

Great collection of ships and extremely informative.

Cultural exhibit but a bit dull, though noteworthy for the history related to the topic.

Next to the actual museum there's also a shipyard, where all ships are build using the same methods as they did in the viking age.

We recommend. For all who want to learn something about vikings a must.

Very informative, tours, film! A must for the whole family.

Beautiful bay with a neat museum and pretty solid cafe. It s a 20 minute walk from the train station, but it s not too bad. Worth a trip from Copenhagen.

Highly recommended museum with many activities for children and many interesting details about the Viking ships for children and adults.
Visiting Denmark, you can marvel at a fundamental part of Danish history. Even without deeper knowledge of history or interests, a visit would be worthwhile .
It gives insights into various crafts related to the shipbuilding of the Vikings.
The restored ships as well as the ships that you can see in the harbor are impressive.
The admission price I find justified for the exhibition and the activities, especially since you have to pay 17 years (!) Nothing. After all, there are always museum staff at the various craft stations who explain and demonstrate a great deal.
It was a real experience for my family and me! Thanks a lot!

Must go to definitely understand Viking culture and how ships were and still are built. Go there with your kids, lot of diy stuff for them. And take a sailing tour, absolutely worth it.

Hyped. Not really interesting. But there is a seasonal fare outside which is worth it

The museum is small, but interesting, especially for children. And of course, very friendly staff, as always in Denmark)

To visit externally, the ticket price is a bit excessive, considering that there is no guide in Italian.
Instead, the country deserves.

You can view five Viking ships here. Small museum but lovely staged
