Step into the Viking Shipyard, a hidden gem carved into a rocky fjord, where master builders help the fiercest longships of the North come to life. The place echoes with the sound of builders cutting timber and iron clanging on wood. The craftsmen are using the finest tools of the Viking-era: each vessel that leaves this shipyard is a true masterpiece – they are built to survive legendary battles and to conquer the oceans and the lands alike.

Not too far from the yard lies a hot and steaming mound, where builders work hard on producing the black gold, the all-important tar which provides vital sealant to make hulls watertight and sails waterproof to make sure every ship can withstand even the harshest northern storms. Timber is hauled from distant forests to be expertly carved, then bound together with nails and ropes stronger than the mightiest sea serpents.

Features:

Viking craftsmen using the finest tools of the era (frame saw, stump anvil, hand plane, bellow)
A truly extraordinary building (which also doubles as the master craftsman’s and his wife’s house) with a one-of-a-kind entrance
A tar pit which is used to produce the all-important resin to waterproof the vessels: a soil mound that houses birch bark covered with wooden chips and brushwood, then topped with turf – after thousands of hours of work put into the process the black gold would slowly start dripping though the wooden grate and end up in the container through an outlet pipe
Removable roof and top floor for an all-around play experience
A slipway for launching those mighty vessels!
