My family and I went and left feeling ripped off. $30 to get in ($10 per person over 12)...Sign read food vendors, games, etc. After choosing from the only menu of burgers, hot dogs, sloppy Joe's on a hot dog bun (manwich), & Swedish meatballs. I handed over another $30 for four low quality burgers, 1 hot dog, and 1 Swedish meatball. With my $3 in change we walked up to the food vendor with our ticket, and the locals with crock pots said they were out of burgers except for a couple, and they were waiting on more buns. As I said we dropped $60 on this 1 hour waste of time and money yesterday. Wouldn't have been so bad if the quality of the event was equal to what was charged and not so backyard thrown together. Tip: charge half of what you charged and people probably wouldn't write reviews like this. Otherwise step up the game for such high priced event. I could have done so much more with my family for...

I've actually had this place saved in my favorites for a while and never thought to give it a review. When I was checking to see if they were open this weekend I saw the 1 star review. I got so sad seeing it I just had to post.

This place has been around forever and is a hidden gem. I saw it once in high school and didn't think much of it because I was a teenager. Now that I'm an adult this are the kinds of places I like to bring my family when they visit. It's got such interesting history.

An admirable labor of love, from the people that rescued the ship and now take care of it and share their time, knowledge and stories with visitors. We felt so happy after visiting, it is a unique location, a different experience and a refreshing approach to Naval history. Don’t miss this...

Really fun tour of the replica Gokstad ship that was at the 1893 Worlds Fair. I would have had no idea it was there if I hadn't heard about it on the Chicago Detours Virtual Worlds Fair tours. Not only are the guides knowledgeable, they know the stories and the "why" behind every feature of the ship and the journey. I was very impressed and told all my friends they should check it out!

"May she always remain a monument of the Worlds Fair of 1893" Perfect afternoon, my friend surprised me by taking me to the Viking Ship. The tour guides all named David (LOL) were extremely knowledgeable. I will go back, thank you....
