Travel back in time. This place is amazing. We spend here all day with v3 girls age 7 to 10 from the minute they opened until they closed and we haven't been able to discover everything. From making flower and baking bread, to canoeing, dressing up the whole family in ancient cloth, treasure hunting, wearing Viking armour and many more activities, this place is full of fun and excitement. Many activities take place outside and it can be a bit tricky on a rainy day. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. My daughter lost her hat and after having been round asking everybody the hat eventually was found by a staff member and the lady traced us down the whole territory to pass it back to my daughter. Thanks to all the staff member. Don’t miss the “Landbohusene”. We were there Easter time and the kids learned to dye eggs with natural ingredients. All in all a day worthwhile spent. Dress warm when visiting off summer and you will have lots of fun.

My family and I absolutely loved visiting here! We only found it by chance- it’s about 45 minutes away from Copenhagen. Everyone who worked there was so kind, welcoming and happy to share their knowledge! Two memories of this adventure stand out most to me- first, I had such an interesting and long conversation with a Cultural Historian who worked in the Viking Hall. She explained history of who the hall would have been used and the intricate symbolism of the architecture. We also discussed the engineering of the building. She was such a pleasure to talk to! My second favorite memory was seeing how meals were made in true medieval fashion. We were invited to watch them extract food from an old fashioned “oven” (see pictures). We watched as they pulled out bread, meats and soup… so cool to see! I highly HIGHLY recommend everyone come here to learn about Danish history.

Of all the places I saw in Copenhagen I think this is my favorite. The knowledge of the staff and their interest in answering questions and just fitting into the environment is applaudable. The sheer size of the place with its Viking zone as well as different time periods going back to the stone ages. I also love how there are places to engage with the environment and learning centers for children such as making butter, excavating, or dying workshops. This is definitely a place that is very family friendly and is also enjoyable as an adult who's traveling solo. If you are curious and have questions, the staff are willing and able to answer questions. This is definitely a place I will remember.

Went to visit here because it's included in the Copenhagen Card attractions! I got lucky with a beautiful day with a beautiful scenery! This place is big enough that I suggest coming here early so you can go see as much as you want so you can also visit the nearby Viking museum. I got here in the afternoon and I didn't really have much time to learn and explore the whole place. I pretty much just went to the highlights to make my visit worth it. I love how you can get into the animal pens and get close to the animals. It's definitely a more family friendly attraction site! If you want to get away from the city for a day, then this is a great place to visit!

Great experience for family, for a full day The day entry is the same price as an annual subscription, but totally worth it. Several villages, each one with several attractions, workshops and things to see, do and touch. Kanoo boat trips, ceramic workshop, spear throwing, bow and arrow, archeological games, and many more diverse activities over the course of several ages. Of course the king house is very impressive and the many different characters and villagers. It was an awesome day, almost the family loved it.

Recommended!! An open museum that cover 3 different historical periods of the town Lejre. The place let you try for yourself a big verity of practices, like: bow & arrow, pottery, cooking above fire, carpentry and more. The staff of the place was extremely friendly and educational, I can't recommend you enough to just approch then and start a conversation in every chance you got you, you are promised to learn something new each time. And the cherry on top, the Vikingekongehal... A must to see place.
