JORVIK Viking
Centre is a multi-sensory visitor experience that
incorporates sights, sounds, smells and touch elements
within the attraction.
Our costumed Viking hosts can provide one-to-one interaction
with visitors and we are more than happy to tailor
your visit to your individual specific needs.
If you have
any questions regarding the facilities that we offer
our visitors, please call our reservations department
on 01904 615505.
Hearing
Impaired
We have a ride capsule available
that is installed with a hearing loop. (This covers
all 6 seats in the capsule). A written version of
the time capsule commentary is also available to ensure
you get the most out of your visit.
Mobility
Impaired
Due to health and safety regulations,
only one wheelchair user can be in JORVIK at any one
time. Wheelchair users can be booked in advance to
avoid having to wait by calling our Reservations department
on 01904 615505.
We do offer a private evening viewing
of JORVIK Viking Centre for groups with wheelchair
users. For further information, please contact us
on 01904 615505.
We have a toilet suitable for wheelchair
users as well as a lift.
Please
note: Some access difficulties to the ride area may
be experienced by visitors of exceptional size and
weight.
A large
print commentary of the ride is available, as is a
braille guide for the Artefacts Alive gallery.
Guide dogs
are welcome in the centre, although the ride element
may make some dogs nervous.
Claustrophobia
As JORVIK is
an underground attraction, if this is of concern to
you a member of staff will accompany you downstairs
so you can get a feel for what the museum is like
before receiving any payment from you.
After you get
an impression of what it is like and our staff have
answered any queries you may have, they will take
you back to the admissions desk where you can decide
whether or not you wish to continue your visit.
