Shield Wall Experience -
Our most popular class, the Shield Wall Experience is an approximately 40 minute long immersive experience in which patrons are equipped with a foam weapon and shield. Once on the battlefield, our Shield Wall Commanders then provide patrons with a safety briefing, a brief history on the Vikings, and then teach patrons several
different shield wall formations, including battle lines, kill squads, and more. Once the concepts have been learned, it is time to put them to the test and battle both patrons and our
own Viking squad on the field. If you have ever watched Vikings, Game of Thrones, or Lord
of the rings and thought, “I want to do that!”, now is your chance!
