Quirky, informative, and so worth it - We were picked up at our hotel on time in a small van and had a total of 7 passengers. We explored a park with Viking runes, a castle with our personalized tour guide, and explored sitting! It was a lovely experience and our tour guide really made it personal including choosing places to stop and eat together, time to sit, walk, and explore. She was very knowledgeable with lots of fun facts and provided a great time for everyone!

Vast., overpowering but worth visiting - Huge and awesome. Joy dies within you with every room! Is this vast place really a living working building? This is worth visiting if only for the superb underground display. The carriage museum is a triumph
