Das Viking Planet Museum Ticket

There were many things to enjoy within the Viking Planet. There were plenty of interactive exhibits about vikings, including a hologram theatre, a 270° cinema, a viking timeline, an informative film and even a Virtual Reality experience (although that does come to a rather abrupt end). We were really captivated by all of these. Note that you don't need to add the cost of the Virtual Reality game to enjoy a virtual reality experience, as there is the virtual reality movie included in the main exhibits.

It is better to watch a documentary and save the money

Very underwhelming but probably ok if you have kids under 13 years old. VR part was particularly overrated.

We are seniors and loved this museum. We wanted to gently learn more about the Vikings and their significance to Norwegian culture while we were in Norway and the museum fulfilled our expectations. We enjoyed the film about Viking life and loved the immersive 3D experience of a Viking ambush at the end of the visit. It was our first 3D experience of that kind which made it special. We were there two hours and absorbed a lot of history from the films and the digital exhibits. We arrived at the museum at 10 am on a Monday morning when it opened and it is probably more enjoyable to visit on days when it is less crowded as it was then. It is worth checking out when the best times to visit would be as it is not a very large museum.

Fantastic experience and highly recommend. I went with partner, (Viking enthusiast) and my two grown up children. Excellent interactive experience for all. We were here 2 hours and could of stayed longer. Informative, interesting films and interactive learning. We all agreed we would recommend to others. Thanks!

A few videos on the history of the Vikings, the three-dimensional one is nice, and on your way out you can buy a ticket for a video game (nice, about 9 euros). Included in the Oslo Pass

In this day and age of high resolution , technology with the v r glasses, this particular museum left a lot to be desired on one of their attractions. For the price that they charge for entry.I believe that it's better served to go to other museums. We actually only saw three of the exhibits , the other ones we decided that were not even worth to stay. Going with children younger than eight is not recommended. And for people that are having mobility issues, i cannot say that there was a lift available for them to enjoy this exhibit.

The VR experience could be updated to look more realistic, but it was still fun. I enjoyed the different stations and all the information about the Vikings. Personally, I think the gift shop needs more realistic souvenirs and collectibles.

Unless you are keen on digital screens and have patience (and keen eyesight) to read a lot of little text, this museum will not engage you for more than an hour (including the VR movie, which may have been state-of-the-art when produced, but seems stiff and slow compared to modern video games). While thedisplays provide a lot of information (the timeline is worthwhile, for getting a sense for where the Vikings came from and how they moved across space and time), it also takes a lot of patience to work through the tap-and-read displays. Very few actual artifacts. It was eerily empty–only a handful of other visitors roamed the large dark room. We were alone in our showing of the movie. There were only two staff members; one to run the cash registry at the entry/gift shop, and one to run the VR movie. Best for people who like reading screens.

The holograms were fun, the VR was quite good and there was lots of interactive information boards. However, it was not worth the entrance cost. We were particularly disappointed that the digital walk through of the currently closed Viking Museum was not available. It is listed on the website and we were not informed as we paid that it is not currently working.
