Loved this place. Visitor center was large and had great exhibits. Helpful staff. We lucked in to the beginning of a guide tour by Jaime who was entertaining and funny in spots to lighten up all the information she was passing along. Kept up a fast pace but waited for everyone to catch up. Site is easy to walk with boardwalks but she told us we could walk anywhere. Some spots on the property were not boardwalks but a scramble up rocks which was great for the kiddos. A few longer walks mixed in. On site docents were in period costume and explained things very well. Not a lot of parking but enough. Room for RVs as well
Wow! Must see! Sadly did not have time to experience all the building, we missed where they repaired and built ships! But the life interpreters made it much more memorable and amazing! Trying on the cape and helmet with the real sword was very cool and unexpected, hefty pieces! Everything is very well done! Fur is real! And so soft! Would visit again 10/10! The bearded man carving the wood looked very fascinating! Not too crowded either! Good weather! The bogs were full of peak apple berries, some ripe and tasty!
The visitors centre was very informative about this site! And the site itself was amazing to see! To learn and see how the vikings lived while they were here was awesome. To walk where they once walked was actually quite humbling.
Our group of eight really enjoyed the very well designed and modern visitor center and movie that played inside. We then ventured outside to view Viking recreations and archeological site area. All enjoyable and educational!
Hidden gem. It a good hike, drive in to the edge of the planet. The roads are in great shape especially thru gros morne national park. GO.. Book in and take the Western Brook pond boat tour. Bring a snack , theres coffee abd a snack bar. Amazing tour, and guides.. St Anthony , pleasantly surprised. Bustling town. Coffee, Tim Hortons? Wow. Groceries , gas, restaraunts. 5 STAR.. The Viking site was well done, take the tour. At L'anse Meadows. You wont regret it. Table lands , another dont miss. We, 2 of us, seniors, paid fir a park pass. 120.00 for the 2 , for a yr from when purchased, for national parks across Canada. We got our moneys worth at L'anse, Gros Morne and Tablelands. We live in Ontario so lots of Parks on the way home. More Parjs to come.
Thoroughly enjoyed..we'll layed out info centre..very knowledgeable guide,very interesting historically with trails for walking and potentially seeing wildlife ex moose,willow ptarmigan
“Life in Miniature” - My dog Juni and I hiked the grounds of L’Anse aux Meadows today and I captured the plants, wildflowers and berries and we toured the trails. When hiking here you really need to be aware of all the beauty at your feet and take the time to get down on your hands and knees to take it all in. This is an historic park where the Vikings first landed in North America and they’ve been doing archaeological digs for many years. There’s a visitor center that covers this in detail and it is a very interesting overview of what you’ll see when you hike. Juni and I did not do those areas today because we did them in 2019. Instead, we concentrated on the hike. I was bent over so often as we were climbing the trails up and down, and I was taking it all in. Most all of these photographs, and I’m sorry there’s so many, our flowers, berries, and plants that are no bigger than about 4 inches. A few are taller, but most are small. I hope you enjoy my take of L’Anse aux Meadows.
Can’t believe how underrated this stop was. One of the most pivotal points in North American history as it proves how there was a Norse settlement in NA much earlier than previously known with a recreated village showcasing how they would have lived. The tour is a must do and it’s free

Simply a beautiful spot. Make sure you take your kids and find where the fairys live. A hint in the last video.
After reading all the positive reviews it’s hard to add something new. Everyone we interacted with was super friendly and answered our questions like it was the first time they had heard it. Definitely a memorable experience.
Double wow. The actors playing the roles were full of information. We learned a lot. They were great ambassadors to this recreation of the viking life.
Amazing and authentic view of Viking living. The staff were quite knowledgeable and answered questions about everything.
Great site to learn about the history interactively. Take the hike up the hill as well the views are fantastic.
What a fantastic place to visit. We had also visited the L’anse aux Meadows National Historic site. The National Historical site was only able to display what was archeologically confirmed. Norsetead, on the other hand, had more of an immersive experience of the culture at that time. The two complement each other.
Very informative about early life in Newfoundland settlement, recreated buildings, actors showed life in those times, cooking, games, weaving, blacksmithing,
Absolutely stunning a must see if you are traveling Newfoundland. Breathtaking views
