Gather your crew for a real Viking adventure! The World Famous 1893 Viking Ship will be open to explore on Sunday, June 21, Saturday June 27 and Sunday June 28.
Our beautiful, full size, 78 foot Viking ship is based on a 1000 year old excavated ship. Hand built in Norway in 1893, our "VIKING" was sailed by a hardy crew of 12 adventurers non stop across the entire stormy North Atlantic, to become a star attraction of the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition of 1893.
Hear its exciting story, admire its dramatic beauty, and learn the secrets of the ancient Viking shipbuilders. Open 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM on 6/21, 6/27 and 6/28 ONLY.
Tours led by our friendly, expert guides begin every 15 minutes. No reservations are needed. Enjoy our hands-on displays of Viking style jewelry, tools, weapons and historic images, and enjoy the selection of quality, affordable items from our gift shop. Making a debut this month-original artwork by the creators of Hagar the Horrible, featuring Hagar telling the story of our ship!
