The visit to Ribe Viking Center was very exciting. I was able to put my hand on various attractions and try archery, woodwork, knitting with needle. The vikings who were in the houses were happy to answer the questions and I gained a lot of new knowledge. The Center also has a farm with many animals: cows, sheep’s, pig with piglets and some friendly cats. In the middle of the day there was an exciting bird show and in addition you could see a cool performance where viking played with fire and did some juggling.

This is a museum which puts things in perspective, forcibly reminding the visitor where we have come from in just 120 years or so.

Children under 18 years free admission.

Museum is small but really interesting and covers viking and medieval time periods. All kind of handcrafts represented and also story how people lived in that time. They also show movie about archeological work mixed with historical reenactment. In second floor there is also denmark flag exhibition but sadly it was only in dansk.
