Jorvik Viking Centre

Price £11

Jorvik Viking Centre is a popular attraction that relives York’s Viking past with reconstructed Viking streets and a large collection of 1000-year-old Viking artefacts, many of which were recovered during excavations prior to the construction of the nearby Coppergate shopping centre.

The attraction is part museum and part Viking theme park with exhibits of 1000-year-old Viking artefacts in some parts of the complex while other parts of the complex consist of a ghost train-style time-warp ride past tacky animatronic mannequins. These parts of Jorvik definitely make you feel that presentations are dumbed down to appeal to people who would not normally enjoy visiting museums, although on the plus side it does mean that it has more appeal if you are travelling with children.
