At Visit Vikings in the Commonwealth Farm in Thjorsardalur you enter a living exhibition of a vanished world. This carefully reconstructed farm reflects daily life during the saga age. It is inspired by the excavated farmhouse Stong which was buried by volcanic ash. The setting offers a rare chance to understand how people lived worked and survived in a remote valley shaped by nature and belief.
Within moments of leaving the road you are surrounded by history and imagination. Guests can wear medieval clothing gather in the hall and share games and stories.

Our visit to Dublinia was a huge hit with the whole family — especially the kids! From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported back in time to the age of the Vikings and medieval Dublin. The museum’s immersive exhibits and interactive elements make history feel alive rather than just something to read about

Hello, we went to Dublinia on Thursday at one o'clock, a group of us, to do a tour of the museum. What a great time we had, such information, lovely exhibits covering all age groups. We were fascinated watching the development of Dublin and how the Vikings, learning things like that. It's the biggest Viking graveyard outside of Scandinavia with, I think it's 80% of Viking graves are within Dublin and it's amazing. There was just so much to see and then obviously through the centuries as Dublin developed. Very good. Ivan and myself in costume settling a point of order. 😎

This is a really interesting and absorbing interactive experience, great for children of all ages and adults due to the life-like models, clothing and sets and the three floors which focus on different aspects of Viking Dublin. We spent two hours there and my kids, 11, 9 and 6 couldn't get enough of it! I would highly recommend it! The spell jar making is cute for very young kids but it is misleading to refer to it as a workshop...older kids who are into stones, gems, herbology and properties of such might be disappointed.

I loved this museum/tower with an awesome view of Dublin when I went atop the watch tower. There are multiple levels, each a specific period or time in Dublin's history. There are interactive screens and a reproduction of an old hovel house.

An excellent historical museum providing a lot of information about the history of Dublin and the history of Europe. Make sure you join the free tour at 11am which lasts about 30 to 40 mins. After the tour you'll need another hour or even two hours to see the entire museum. And don't forget to do the climb to the top of the tower for the great view of the city.
