Viking Camp during the summer vacation at the Viking Ship Museum

The outdoor area at Strandengen is an active experience area for the whole family, where young and old can play their way into the Viking Age and do family teamwork on the grass next to the longship 'Sea Stallion'

Families can compete against each other in Viking games such as throwing Thor's hammer, jousting or mooring toss and find the family's most skilful and cunning Viking

Go Viking training
If you're brave enough, you can venture into the specially designed 'battle arena' where children and adults can train and compete against each other with role-play weapons. It is known that the Vikings practised their fighting techniques so that their skills were finely tuned when they went on a raid.

The beach meadow will also be the starting point for this summer's family guided tours and there will be crafts, pop-up displays and 'Viking Talks' on Viking topics.

Climb aboard
A highlight for many visitors to the Viking Ship Museum is to board the large longship, the Sea Stallion from Glendalough, located at the low jetty at Strandengengen.

The Sea Stallion became world famous when the ship sailed from Roskilde to Dublin with a crew of 65. On board the Sea Stallion, visitors to the museum can hear about the impressive voyage and stories about what it was like to be at sea in the Viking Age.

New tent on the beach meadow
As something new this year, we have set up a new large tent where, throughout the summer, there will be different kinds of activities for the whole family, both children and adults.

Museum guests will hear about different topics such as 'Women in the Viking Age', 'Power' or about textile processing, which involves guests in spinning and combing freshly sheared wool themselves. The interpretation in the tent changes from day to day, and the theme depends on which presenter you meet
