Every day you can explore the Viking Ship Museum large outdoor areas, where we have designed a new experience area.
You can challenge each other and play like the Vikings! Throw on strategic games like 'Throw Thor's Hammer' or 'Mooring Throw' or test your muscle power by 'going to Iceland after herring'.
In the games you are tested on cooperation, strength and tactics. These skille can be seen in relation to Viking Age combat training, where strength was not enough to become a good warrior: Speed, fine motor skills and decoding of movements were equally important qualities to possess.
