Travel back 1,000 years to the first European settlement in the New World, located at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Historic Site operated by Parks Canada.
Here, you will visit the park's interpretative center and see firsthand how this site was discovered. View 3-D displays depicting how the Vikings lived. Travel through the site and see the small smithy, where nails and rivets were made from bog ore. A large sod hut will show you how these tough people lived, ate and rested when not at sea.
Next, you will visit Norstead, a real Viking port of trade located about a mile from L'Anse aux Meadows. Visit the Chieftain's Hall as you journey through this rough-and-ready site in the footsteps of fierce Viking warriors of the past.
Notes:
Walking is required. Terrain includes boardwalks, inclines, and packed gravel walkways. Transportation is by school bus. Scooters, walkers or wheelchairs cannot be accommodated on the bus. Guests can leave a scooter or other mobility device pier side and we will do our best to watch it, but passengers leave this behind at their own risk. We cannot be responsible if something occurs to it while left pier side. Guests should take any keys with them. Guests will have free time at the sites and can choose to self-explore or they can stay with the guide if they’d like further interpretation or to ask questions. For full exploration of the sites, guests will walk up to 1.5 kilometers.
