EXPERIENCE AT THE VIKING PLANET
TAKE PART IN HISTORY

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES
With a 270-degree cinema, The Viking Planet presents compelling original Viking content in a way never before seen. Through several interactive experiences, you can explore topics like Ships & Navigation, Weapons & War, Women in the Viking Age, and Religion & Mythology.
LEARN IN A NEW WAY
The Viking Planet aims to connect audiences with the Viking times in an innovative and engaging way. You can meet Viking holograms and explore the iconic designs and symbols from the Viking age.
TRADITION MEETS TECHNOLOGY
The exhibit, ‘Virtual Viking — Innovation and Tradition,’ presents the Viking legacy in the context of contemporary technology.

5-STAR VR EXPERIENCE IN OSLO, NORWAY
A very interesting and engaging museum which immerses you in the viking world through use of VR, holographics and interactive displays. The staff are very friendly. I would recommend this to anyone who visits Oslo.

It is remarkable how they have created holograms, so realistic you feel like you are there with them. This is the best way to learn history. The kids LOVED it (so so much more than the museum). They have interactive programs where you create your own boat or person - the kids loved this. The highlight was the Viking ship - oh my goodness. This is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

Well worth a visit. Enjoyable and informative. The virtual reality was cool! Talk to the staff to get the best out of it. The staff were brilliant and helpful!

Excellent experience, loads of fresh ideas on how to present Viking history. Considering this is a very new venture it feels polished and professional. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. If you take time to appreciate each different area, REALLY take the time you will get a lot out of it. For Oslo, it is very well priced. I'm not sure if it is included on the Oslo card yet, but if not it should be.
