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.
Visually Impaired
A large print commentary of the ride is available
and so is a braille guide for the Artefacts Alive gallery.
Guide dogs are welcome in the centre, although some may find the ride element distressing.
Claustrophobia
On the day of your visit, a member of staff will
accompany you downstairs so you can get a feel of 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.
To book a visit to JORVIK Viking Centre, it is recommended you pre-book by calling 01904 615505. This will entitle you to jump the queue during our busy periods as well as give you a specific time slot to visit.
