The Viking Planet Museum Ticket

There were many things to enjoy within the Viking Planet. There were plenty of interactive exhibits about vikings, including a hologram theatre, a 270° cinema, a viking timeline, an informative film and even a Virtual Reality experience (although that does come to a rather abrupt end). We were really captivated by all of these. Note that you don't need to add the cost of the Virtual Reality game to enjoy a virtual reality experience, as there is the virtual reality movie included in the main exhibits.

Very underwhelming but probably ok if you have kids under 13 years old. VR part was particularly overrated.

We are seniors and loved this museum. We wanted to gently learn more about the Vikings and their significance to Norwegian culture while we were in Norway and the museum fulfilled our expectations. We enjoyed the film about Viking life and loved the immersive 3D experience of a Viking ambush at the end of the visit. It was our first 3D experience of that kind which made it special. We were there two hours and absorbed a lot of history from the films and the digital exhibits. We arrived at the museum at 10 am on a Monday morning when it opened and it is probably more enjoyable to visit on days when it is less crowded as it was then. It is worth checking out when the best times to visit would be as it is not a very large museum.

Fantastic experience and highly recommend. I went with partner, (Viking enthusiast) and my two grown up children. Excellent interactive experience for all. We were here 2 hours and could of stayed longer. Informative, interesting films and interactive learning. We all agreed we would recommend to others. Thanks!

In this day and age of high resolution , technology with the v r glasses, this particular museum left a lot to be desired on one of their attractions. For the price that they charge for entry.I believe that it's better served to go to other museums. We actually only saw three of the exhibits , the other ones we decided that were not even worth to stay. Going with children younger than eight is not recommended. And for people that are having mobility issues, i cannot say that there was a lift available for them to enjoy this exhibit.

The VR experience could be updated to look more realistic, but it was still fun. I enjoyed the different stations and all the information about the Vikings. Personally, I think the gift shop needs more realistic souvenirs and collectibles.

Unless you are keen on digital screens and have patience (and keen eyesight) to read a lot of little text, this museum will not engage you for more than an hour (including the VR movie, which may have been state-of-the-art when produced, but seems stiff and slow compared to modern video games). While thedisplays provide a lot of information (the timeline is worthwhile, for getting a sense for where the Vikings came from and how they moved across space and time), it also takes a lot of patience to work through the tap-and-read displays. Very few actual artifacts. It was eerily empty–only a handful of other visitors roamed the large dark room. We were alone in our showing of the movie. There were only two staff members; one to run the cash registry at the entry/gift shop, and one to run the VR movie. Best for people who like reading screens.

The holograms were fun, the VR was quite good and there was lots of interactive information boards. However, it was not worth the entrance cost. We were particularly disappointed that the digital walk through of the currently closed Viking Museum was not available. It is listed on the website and we were not informed as we paid that it is not currently working.

We stopped by on a Friday afternoon in June and though there were quite a few people here, the space (it’s essentially all in one room) was large enough. There was no real direction, so we just started engaging in the various displays, which were all quite interesting. The VR was fun too.

Having visited Viking museums in York, Copenhagen and Stockholm, I almost gave this a miss! Thankfully I didn't and was rewarded with a fresh approach to presenting the Viking story, using up to date technology that challenged the senses. Highly entertaining and informative at the same time

It feels more like a polished digital experience about Vikings than a genuinely immersive or memorable one. On paper, it promises a modern, high-tech dive into Viking history, but in practice it leans heavily on screens, VR, and effects that never quite add up to something emotionally or intellectually gripping. It can feel a bit like a very good museum trailer that forgot to become the full film. There are moments where it works, some of the visual reconstructions are slick, and the VR elements are fun in a “five minutes of novelty” kind of way, but it doesn’t really ground you in the story of the Vikings in the way you’d hope. You leave knowing more, perhaps, but feeling less connected to it all. It also suffers a bit from comparison. In a city where places like the Fram or the Folk Museum give you atmosphere, space, and texture, this feels more like a curated experience rather than a place you inhabit. In short: interesting idea, shiny execution, but not much staying power once you step back out into Oslo. *Visited with the Oslo Pass.

Great interactive experience! Spent there more than one hour, VR movie was also quite fun. Definitely worth getting special specially in case of bad weather

a fun visit......some good things to see & do......can imagine its very busy in peak season......but going in Feb - it was pleasantly quiet

The exhibit was full of historical facts with the timeline throughout history laid out very well. I would have liked more live human explanations of the Viking world.

We had a really cool time at the museum and would definitely recommend it! If you want to know about Vikings and the history of Norway it's a must-see! And as it ia really interactive it's not boring at all, so you get involved in the whole museum!

Toilets were unclean, under dimensioned and not available in reception on arrival. Overrated for learning experience, requires a lot of reading, so not good for children that can't read. Syggest best 12+ age group. No senior citizen pricing. Ticket purchase was simple at reception. Selfie ideas were good. Tour of Viking Museum good.

This was interesting but the VR experience wasn’t great. It was a bit boring and the graphics clunky. The videos were also a bit dull. The interactive information boards were great through. Leant a lot.

Super disappointed that the Viking museum is closed for YEARS, so this was the best we could do. It was interesting with a lot of AI and VR, if that’s your thing.

The overall experience was very good. Plenty of material to look at, engage in and experience. As a first timer to Oslo and Norway the Viking Planet experience gives some good grounding into Norway's Viking history. Well worth the visit.

Very interesting and the Icelandic guy in the VR section was really entertaining. It's a definite visit if staying in Oslo. Letting the modern age introduce us to the past.

Ah it we had a great time and looked at some bostin things! It were like a trip down memory lane! Great pictures and things to do and see.

So much fun. And got some great pics to take home as well. Recommend the virtual reality Viking ambush- that was y favourite thing.

Fun. Exciting and informative we spent about 2 hours exploring everything very knowledgeable very fun. We did the VR experience. Loved it.

Absolutely LOVED this place! Make sure you understand what you’re coming to see though. This isn’t a museum in the traditional sense - it’s a virtual exhibition and frankly, all the better for it. The ‘stands’ are perfect with enough information without boring overkill. Clearly a LOT of money has been spent on VR and to some extent, AI. Talking of which, don’t miss the Viking image generator…. Lastly, the staff were nuts (in a good way 😉) So, come knowing what you you’re going to see and it’s 5 stars all day long.

The Viking planet is a virtual tour of the Viking past 750 - 1066. From 4d headsets to getting your selfie taken as a Viking hero, it’s an interesting and myth busting way to spend a few hours. Having Danish blood it’s interesting to learn a bit more about my ancient history. Usual Viking based stuff to buy in the shop. Horned helmets for kids, and sheep skin for those not travelling light by Ryan Air.

Amazing experience highly recommend very interactive and fun. Very informative . Location great in the heart of Oslo .

I gained new experiences, unfortunately I didn't try the VR part, maybe next time. It was an incredibly good experience

We were disappointed that the Viking Museum won’t reopen for another year yet, but decided to try the experience. It has some things on loan from the museum and the movies and history were interesting.

It has a lot if digital stuff if thet’s what you like, including a show with 3D glasses. Good for families with kids.

I wouldn’t prioritize visiting Viking Planet. The virtual movie is fine, but it’s nothing extraordinary. The VR experience still feels quite unrealistic — the characters look like animated figures rather than real people. Overall, it’s not a particularly remarkable attraction, and I believe there are far more beautiful and interesting things to see in the city.

Good film clips about the Vikings . Fun and simple . Interactive and educational. Great for kids and all the family.

This was not worth the time or money. Could get the same experience watching a YouTube video. Would recommend skipping.

Positives: - interesting to see the 3D Viking costumes Negatives: - no clear information about the Viking history in Norway - technology outdated and slow - animation very clunky and not synchronised - lack of language to bring animation alive - incredibly expensive for such a paucity of information, especially in comparison to other fantastic museums in Oslo which were cheaper than this one. - we came out not feeling we had learnt anything or being inspired. - we felt hugely disappointed and exploited of our money. We would strongly recommend not visiting this museum! For anyone from the UK there is strong reference to York so we think there is more to learn from the Jorvik Museum.

Lots of interesting information, laid out in a, to us, haphazard way. My major complaint concerns the main event, the virtual reality movie. The scenes were badly focused, just not as sharp as they should be in 2025. And the sound was very poor. My headset had one speaker not working...I tried another and it was the same. My wifes was also had one speaker dead. There is no volume control and the pre-set volume is quite low..especially with only one speaker! After the film had finished I spoke with the girl who was the showing us to our seats. She said that they know that some speakers do not work but there is no time to repair them! ! That is no excuse whatsoever. Overall rating....what could have been a reccomendable experience is not...until the management takes an interest in their product.

Visited the Viking Planet last weekend. We was looking forward to this immensely. Unfortunately our expectations weren’t met. The exhibition were smaller than expected. The AR experience was not as synced as we were hopping for. Who was killed by whom? Instead of being a fantastic experience highlighting an important part of the Norwegian history, we got a, more or less, classical tourist trap. That’s sad. Of course it is our own fault we fell for it. But not again. We can’t recommend a visit.

The guide time is 1-2 hours, even if you read every single word I can’t imagine it taking that long. £20 is excessive for a short video and some info to read on the walls of one large room.

I really enjoyed my first experience of virtual reality and found the whole exhibition really interesting. Had the actual Viking museum not been being redeveloped I would probably not have come here but I am glad I did.

Terrible waste of money! This is expensive and very, very poor. We spent about 45 mins in the small venue but could have done most of it and been out in 20 mins. Others must know this already as there were no more than 10 people in there, including us. Spend your money elsewhere!

A good interactive experience, perfect for a rainy day activity. Quite short though. Expensive to add on the VR experience so didn’t do that bit.

Very nice clean place. Very friendly staff and easy to navigate. 270° film was very cool, the VR was lacking a bit of an update but still was fun. Interactive screens were easy to use and very good clarity. Tons of info, and fun camera pics. Only thing lacking was just wanted a bit more… more clothing for the picture area, and maybe a cool background. All in all, good family fun, and educational stop worth the trip

Great little spot with plenty of interactive exhibits, the VR was brilliant with very little issues I could see. The shop upstairs was great to walk around. Staff as well absolutely fantastic and friendly, definitely one of our highlights from Oslo.

A modern digital museum that educates guests about Viking history. It shows us thru hand touched computerized screens

I loved how interactive the place is. It was great way to learn about the Vikings. There are many different experiences to highlight different elements of Vikings history.

What a great way to learn of the Viking age. Modern technology makes this unique and even more fun ! The VR movie and game were awesome!! It was a great way to spend a couple hours learning of the Viking times

I learned so much about Viking history and culture! In a fun, engaging and interactive way, the Vikings come to life through this fascinating and inspiring collection of exhibits. The VR experience was worth the price of admission. The staff are friendly, facilities are clean and hospitable; easily accessible and nearby numerous attractions including City Hall.

We had a really fun, educational and informative couple of hours here. The VR was great, and the short films were really interesting. Loads of interactive and educational information sources throughout. A very good experience was had by us all and the venue staff were super friendly. Would highly recommend, we learned a lot!

Very well put together! Informative and fun! Spent the best part of 2 hours. Love the VR experience and the selfie station is a lot of fun!!

A fun place to visit! The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The exhibitions are very educational in and of themselves as well, a good way to spend your time in oslo.

Very fun experience, a lot of details about the time period, the weapons, the ships, all of it was amazing CONRAD IS AMAZING! If you get a chance to meet him let him know roletide 🤣
