Viking Planet Oslo Combination Ticket (Museum +VR Game)

Located next to the Alle Tiders shop, The Viking Planet is the world's first entirely digital museum that uses cutting-edge technology to bring Nordic history and mythology to life across 1,600 m² without any physical artifacts. The museum offers total immersion thanks to a 270-degree cinema, a virtual reality film aboard a longship, interactive warrior holograms, and a digital gaming area with personalized selfies.

It was fun! Lots of history but with fun interactive learning experiences. People working there were very helpful. Viator was there immediately to help with any questions and changes we had last minute!!

This museum is a real highlight, especially for families with children. The exhibition is designed to be interactive, so children can actively participate and experience history in a playful way. This keeps the museum visit exciting and varied, without having to work your way through endless rows of vase fragments or old objects. It is precisely this successful mix of knowledge, entertainment, and participation that makes the museum a special experience. We have already been here for the third time and are thrilled every single time. We can wholeheartedly recommend this museum; a visit is worthwhile for both young and old.

Great place to visit Something for every age in our group . Places to sit down as well

The two adults and one teenage boy spent almost three hours enjoying the interactive Viking Planet. We learned, we played, we experienced. From the VR game to the detailed timeline, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience!

We were amazed by the fun we had. Virtual game was great and we will never forget it:-); Museum is great too, we loved the 4D cinema (we went twice) and all the other sections were perfect with digital experience. We also loved the "selfie" corners to try weapons and clothes. One of the best ever experience from a museum. I can only recommend. It is a "must" in Oslo. Especially with teenage kids:-) We purchased ticket upfront online for a time slot we wanted, no waiting time, no stress. We stayed approx 2hours. We were lucky there was no crowd and we could enjoy the museum really well. Staff was very nice and even took pictures during our Virtual game. Athmosphere was relaxed and joyfull.

Virtual reality is fun. The museum has lots of information and interactive opportunities. There are 3 short films to watch. The location is very easy to find.

We'd read mixed things about this before we arrived, but I think a lot of the negative reviews are those of people who had gone in expecting one thing and finding something else. It is very much sold on the VR aspect, but it is much more than that! We went for the combined Museum and VR game ticket - we'd recently done another VR thing back home and got the bug to try out some more. The VR game is approx 15mins, you act as a Viking on board a long ship using a bow and arrow and sword to protect your ship - although visiting as a couple, we both played separately...arguably, I think it might have been more fun to both be on one boat side by side but that's probably a technical and logistical nightmare. You don't learn an awful lot through the game, but its a fun way to approach history. Downstairs, the museum was great - so much information, presented in modern and interactive ways, which makes the information much more accessible than seeing items behind a glass cabinet in a stuffy museum. The 270 cinema experience was great to give you a real feel for life in Viking Norway, and through the other exhibits you learned about Viking battles, Norse Gods & Mythology, different roles in Viking society, items Vikings would have used from long boats and weapons to craft items and furniture. It really gave you a sense of what life was like under Viking rule. The VR experience downstairs is fairly short, and a bit of fun, to end your visit - it is certainly not the main event. Staff were friendly and helpful, the museum felt spacious and wasn't too busy on a weekday afternoon, with exhibits available in multiple languages. The gift shop was well stocked and had some different items available to a lot of the usual tourist tat you get in these types of venues usually.

What a brilliant experience. Olso is such a great city to explore… but I was seeking some historical element from our trip, and typical ‘museums’ aren’t really my thing. This experience was a great way to learn about the Vikings… in so many different and engaging ways, with multimedia videos, digital displays, VR etc… and all at our own pace. I also got the chance to ‘Ai’ myself into a Viking warrior princess and did the VR video game so I could imagine myself attacking the enemy! (I honestly enjoyed it far more than I ever expected!) I’d certainly highly recommend it!

Lousy. A disgrace what they present. Three non-tech games you can watch on YouTube. They last 3/4 minutes. A real scam
