Brilliant - I brought my son to this last Saturday and it was absolutely amazing. He’s 8 and has autism and adhd, but managed to stayed tuned in for the entire experience, thanks in no small part to our host, Rhiannon (I may have spelled this wrong sorry) she was so informative, answered all questions and was so kind to my kiddo. She explained that she’s an osteo-archaeologist with a Viking background herself, she spoke multiple languages and had a genuine passion for Viking history, what an asset to the Waterford museum group.
We both learned a lot and would probably do it again and take friends. Thanks so much.

Excellent! A do not miss experience. - Well, this was great. The history lesson was entertaining, handling the artefacts really brought home the reality of the Viking era peoples. But of course the highlight was the VR session. Excellent, excellent. A great price, especially if you get the combo ticket with the other museums.
