Read Vikingar! Reviews
Swimming pools are always great places when it's raining, there's also a gym, exercise classes and a small exhibition about the Vikings and the Battle of Largs. Highly recommend this one.

Had such an amazing time here today! I was worried the Viking Attraction was actually aimed at kids but it's great for adults too. I love history and the tour was so so interesting. Lesley was enthusiastic and welcoming which really made the experience great, she clearly knew her stuff and was an excellent story teller (also the costume was awesome - outfit goals!) The tour itself is about an hour long, included in that is a 15 minute video about the battle (again very good and interesting). Definitely worth a visit, plus decent price! £10 for two adults. Only thing I'd say could be improved is the gift shop, there was a few bits there but mainly aimed at children and not a huge selection at all (keyrings, necklaces, pencils, cups and "viking" hats) Overall I really enjoyed the visit

Not quite what we expected, but overall enjoyable and informative. It turns out you only need arrive a few minutes before one of the advertised tour times, otherwise you have to wait in the leisure centre until that time. Not knowing this, we had to wait 30 minutes. Our tour was led by two local historians who told us about Norwegian life a few hundred years ago, all in a child-friendly way, and then a bit about Viking gods. After 30 minutes, we watched (from comfortable cinema-style seats) a 13½-minute film about battles between Vikings and Scots. This was followed by as long as we wanted reading informative panels on the walls of the final room. Apart from the wait at the start, the whole thing lasted an hour and we learned a lot. It has a small gift shop in a corner of the leisure centre. The car park is free and a five-minute promenade stroll to the centre of Largs.

I frequent this place every couple of weeks for swimming training events for my daughter. Overall it's not to bad for a sports facility but like most "older" facilities in this area it is looking a bit dated.

Made welcome from the moment I arrived. Lovely,well lit building with a current exhibition of photographs by locals. The viking experience was excellent. Having been to a genuine Norwegian longhouse fairly recently, I was impressed by the replica, which apparently had a lot of input from the Jorvik centre. Orik (Joe to his friends), our guide was excellent and welcomed questions. Takes about an hour and costs less than a fiver so perfect for families. The only disappointment was the shop, but since they only recently reopened, this will no doubt improve.

Visited with my 2 sons aged 10 and 6 and they absolutely loved it. Experience lasted just about an hour and they were entertained for the whole time. Well worth a visit and very reasonably priced.

I thought this was well laid out and the interaction with the Viking (staff) was very good. There is a large sign at the roadside but when we parked the outside of the building looked a bit rundown and we thought it was closed. Well worth a visit!
