Have never been to Fargo Moorhead before and had no idea what to see or do. I live in an Icelandic area of Manitoba so the Viking boat and The Hjemkomst Heritage Centre sounded as if they were worh a visit and was glad I did. Getting to the Centre was an experience in itself as the Red River was... More

But I don't. Therefore I have to grade this center only with 3 points. Interesting story lies behind the Hjemkomst Viking boat sail - a dream of a Norwegian man to sail back to Norway with a Viking boat, but that was it. Hopefully it could be made a bit more attractive for kids, because they will be taken there... More

The Hjemkomst Center is located high on the banks of the Red River, with plenty of paved walking trails around it leading to and around the Red River. The Hjemkomst Center contains a rather boring heritage museum that isn't worth the time or fee. In the lobby you will find Hjemkomst the Viking Ship built by hand in the 1970's.... More

Brought a college choir here for a brief stop as we were passing through the area. Very cool setting along the Red River...had it been a warmer day we would have enjoyed a stroll along the park pathways adjacent to this attraction. We were thrilled to see the beautiful Stave church replica but very disappointed that it was closed because... More

I'm a local and I always enjoy stopping in occasionally to see what's on display. The Hjemkomst is always interesting and enjoyable, and they usually have other exhibits on display that are worth the time to stop by.

We enjoyed the ambience for a Norwegian family wedding. The rooms were very nice and it was a great atmosphere. The exhibits are also worth the time to read the history.

We have visited before but never taken the tour of the Stave Church or watched the informative video from the journey of the Hjemkomst. The tour was very relaxed, but the video was moving. To see actual footage of a ship that is “docked” right behind you, an amazing experience. The current exhibits were about the journey and The Boom... More

We enjoyed seeing and reading about the Norwegian ship and voyage they took. They even included a "where is the crew now" display. Don't know how old that is, but it was nice. The pictures were helpful to get a small feeling what it might have been like to take that trip. Then we took the tour of the stave... More

This center includes two gems in one spot. The stave church is a beautiful replica of a church in Norway. It's beautiful and it's one man's labor of love. The other great thing to see is a huge viking ship! One man decided to build it so he could sail it from America to Norway, where his family is from.... More
