Such beauty and informational of the oldest city in Ireland. The Vikings did not disappoint. The landmarks are a must see and the drive from Dublin through the countryside was stunning.

I was a bit skeptical of this being worth the time and money, but it was the highlight of our visit to Waterford. Definitely worth it and I highly recommend it. It is a virtual reality experience that journeys through the past of Viking history.

This is a 30 min virtual reality experience. There's a lot of history packed into these 30 minutes. The staff do a great job of role-playing their part. The VR graphics are a little dated, but the info is interesting.
