Is it worth for 2 adults? DH and I are on a weekend trip in March and while we have been to York before with DD, we didn‘t go to the Jorvik Center.

We are quite into history, know a decent amount of Viking history and the reviews are very mixed.

Looking at the pictures it could have been there but it could have been the street in the museum. Does a shop in the street in the museum actually sell sweets?

Yes, they still sell sweets. We bought some from there last month 😁

If you can travel 5 miles out of York, Murton Park has a Viking village and Roman Fort

With Betty’s my top tip is check when it closes and then go somewhere for dinner first. Go to Betty’s after dinner for pudding/ cake and a glass of champagne! Or pre dinner for an aperitif. 🍸
