Description
Vikingar! is an award-winning historical attraction that brings the fierce and fascinating world of the Norsemen to life in the coastal town of Largs. Located right on the promenade, this interactive centre combines costumed storytelling with immersive exhibits to guide families through 500 years of Viking history in Scotland. It is widely considered one of the best things to do with kids in Largs if you are looking for an educational day out that swaps dusty cabinets for action-packed adventures.
Prices start from £6.30 for juveniles, while adults pay a standard entry fee of £9.20. A major benefit for families is the Standard Family ticket at £26.50, which offers a discounted rate for groups of four.
If you are looking for the best place for a day out with family and kids that offers both learning and physical activity, Vikingar! is a top-tier choice. The facility houses a 25-metre swimming pool alongside the historical tour and the modern MultiBall system—a mixed-reality gaming platform that turns physical activity into an interactive video game.
Vikingar! is an exciting, interactive, hands on Viking and Scottish heritage and cultural centre, with real Viking storytellers, who will invite you into their replica 8th century Norwegian Longhouse (where it all began) and as you sit under the flickering lights, you will experience a day in the life of a Viking over 1000 years ago. How they lived, what they ate and drank, where they slept and what reasons caused them to leave their homelands. You will be encouraged to try on the replica helmets and armour and under supervision check out the swords, shields and axes. Then if you’re brave enough, meet the Gods of Asgard and receive a message from Odin himself. If you have proved yourself worthy, you will then enter the Valhalladrome where you will see a 15 minute presentation of the Vikings in Scotland, from the first raids on the Holy Isle of Iona in the year 795 culminating in the Battle of Largs in 1263. The impact they had on Scottish life, history and culture that can still be felt today.
