  • There were lots of things to do at this museum. Great for kids and adults. My favorite part was the ice cave and film on volcanos. A must stop for all.

  • This is a great place to see a 360 degree view of Reykjavik. The inside has an ice cave tour and gift shop and viewing show of the northern lights and an observation deck where you can have a drink and a bite to eat while enjoying the city view in the revolving restaurant!
  • Really fascinating museum - we spent most of our day here! There was loads to see and it was a great place to learn more about Iceland. The Aurora show and Ice Cave were incredible. It was also fascinating to get a glimpse of the eruption in the volcano show. The food at the restaurant was also great and the view was spectacular. Perlan is a must-see when you're visiting Reykjavik!
