The farm was very interesting. The young lady in costume that was our guide there was very knowledgeable about Viking life. We found the visit to Viking planet to be very informative. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to take pictures with a green screen that turned us into Vikings. Would recommend this if you want to understand the Viking history and lifestyle.”

Can thoroughly recommend Tom at the farm- absolutely hilarious and great with the kids. Who knew he played professional football at the age of 19! I could have eaten three slices of the apple cake!! Definitely a highlight of an amazing holiday- thank you!”
