This is a hidden gem of tourism in Ireland let alone Waterford. It is a virtual reality experience where you go into a replica of a viking longhouse, sit down and put on a VR headset and headphones. Then it becomes absolutely outstanding. You find yourself sailing along with viking ships and having viking warriors talking at and through you. You are up in space with the moon and mythical dragons floating in front of you. And you monastery libraries as they write the history of the Vikings. They can only accommodate 10 at a time so advance booking is recommended. The only recommendation I would have is move to a larger venue. Every historical site should look to emulate this.

Nice place to visit, the whole place is like a carnival festival. There big sword kept there which is beautifully carved by viking stories. There is also a big wooden statue of viking king half embedded in wall, which is a nice spot to take a picture. It is right besides the church, there a bust stop nearby also a pay car park. Ifvyou are planning to spend a day somewhere in Waterford , then this is the best pace to go. This place is Street food lovers heaven, there are many stalls along the road where you can try different street food.

Absolutely brilliant tour. My best friend and I went to experience it yesterday and were enamoured. She had never used VR before and she had so much fun. So much info to learn with really well done visuals. Worker were brilliant in character and very knowledgeable about the Vikings. Tbh I absorbed none of the info because I was being giddy with my friend, but had an absolutely wonderful time either way. If you like vikings 100% give it a shot! It takes only half an hour at max and is something you will never forget!

This was fabulous!! The VR experience transports you back through time! A time when the shores of Waterford would have been lined with Viking ships and thatched roofs. The experience is made real by sitting in a little hut, like thingy, the story is narrated from the view of a religious historian and from a Viking. All in all, it’s some of the best 30 minutes you will spend in Ireland. Really well done, the staff was fabulous, the history available is superb. 👏👏🇮🇪

Honestly one of the coolest implementations of VR I have seen. This is something anyone visiting Waterford should experience. I learned more here than at all other museums combined. Space is limited in each time slot as there are a limited number of VR headsets so you can reserve a time in advance or stop by and book next available but know if could be an hour or more in the future. If you are in Waterford?m, make sure you stop in.

This 30-minute VR show was a joy ride. Absolutely recommend it if you are in Waterford. Tickets cost around 10 euro per person. It takes you through the rich Viking history and is a one time must have experience. I would recommend booking your tickets in advance as they get easily filled up. 👌
