Went to here because it's included in the Copenhagen Card attractions! I got lucky with a beautiful day with a beautiful scenery! This place is big enough that I suggest coming here early so you can go see as much as you want so you can also the nearby Viking museum. I got here in the afternoon and I didn't really have much time to learn and explore the whole place. I pretty much just went to the highlights to make my worth it. I love how you can get into the animal pens and get close to the animals. It's definitely a more family friendly attraction site! If you want to get away from the city for a day, then this is a great place to visit! I really loved it! A lot of activities for kids but also for grownups, a lot of space to walk around and explore and wonderful people to help you discover cool crafts. This is a place where you can easily spend a few days! I would love to return! The great hall looks amazing and there are some table games to learn and try, the pottery offers demonstrations and you can play with a piece of clay and create something yourself, the textile house has a lot of information about how yarn and textiles are produced.... There is so much! I definitely recommend coming, but reserve the entire day because ot is worth it! We had such a great journey through time – from the Stone Age, through the Iron Age, to the Viking Age! It’s all presented in such an impressive and immersive way, where everyone gets to be part of the experience. You walk into the houses, see people living as they would have in those times, and witness traditional craftsmanship in action. Everyone is eager to share stories and happily answers any questions you might have. It’s perfect for anyone with a curious mind. To top it all off, the setting is stunning – surrounded by nature, with plenty of space so it never feels too crowded, even in high season. Large site, some of the older age exhibits need attention. Some paths confusing on the map, however a great day out with lots of Danish history. Bus timetables and stops need a massive update on Google. It's important to note that this site houses a faithful reconstruction, as faithful as possible, of a Viking village. Obviously, one wouldn't expect to find original wooden structures over 1,000 years old! I personally found the site very interesting and definitely worth a visit! This place exceeded our expectations! We especially appreciated how many knowledgeable people were there to explain different aspects of life in the historical period they were representing. Many of the staff and participants wore authentic historical clothing and even spoke in an old-fashioned manner — which was incredibly cool. The whole site is impressive, with plenty of adorable animals and hands-on activities to try. The attention to detail is remarkable! We ended up spending about five hours there. P.S. The museum shop is also fantastic — definitely worth a visit! A great experience for the whole family. The energetic, knowledgeable staff helps connect children and adults to the past without overstating the limits of what can be known. A commendable, well-executed approach to science education. And you can come back during your time in the region with the same pass, because there's too much to explore in one day. My family and I absolutely loved visiting here! We only found it by chance- it’s about 45 minutes away from Copenhagen. Everyone who worked there was so kind, welcoming and happy to share their knowledge! Two memories of this adventure stand out most to me- first, I had such an interesting and long conversation with a Cultural Historian who worked in the Viking Hall. She explained history of who the hall would have been used and the intricate symbolism of the architecture. We also discussed the engineering of the building. She was such a pleasure to talk to! My second favorite memory was seeing how meals were made in true medieval fashion. We were invited to watch them extract food from an old fashioned “oven” (see pictures). We watched as they pulled out bread, meats and soup… so cool to see! I highly HIGHLY recommend everyone come here to learn about Danish history.
