We loved this. The kids had a great time finding the culprit who stole Frida's salt. All the things they could do, it was amazing and so much fun. The grown-ups had just as much fun looking around and joining the kids in the salt mystery. And I think our daughter will try out archery at home now.

Very interesting historic park. We were surprised by the knowledge of "actors" they will answer all your questions. The park is big with different activities over the day. Also, there's a restaurant for a quick break during the visit. Must visit if you are near Ribe.

We had a great visit for the 4th times not so many activities on week days unfortunately but always love the friendliness of their Viking volunteer with eye opening information to which what we see on Viking series indeed 99% fantasy

It was quite good but we expected a wider range of activities which were available with the activity pass. The ones available targeted mainly younger children with an age range of 6 to 12 years. Other than that the Viking Center was beautifully arranged.

Great place to stop and be taken back in time. Very friendly staff and great entertainment for kids to try fighting like Vikings and shoot bow and arrow, wood carvings and coin making.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
