When the man at the reception desk realized that I did not fully understand the English explanation, he asked me what my native language was, pulled out a Japanese explanation board, and carefully explained to me to take a picture of it with my camera. When I had trouble reading the QR code on my wristband, he helped me. I was happy because he was smiling and very kind. In the exhibition, I was particularly impressed with the aurora borealis in the planetarium. The view from space and the visualization of the magnetic field were also interesting. The video show of lava was great to see in the projection room and also in another room where it was expressed using even the floor. The ice cave was well done for an indoor experience.

Absolutely loved the ice cave! The whole museum is a great experience overall. The walk around 360 view deck of Reykjavik is awesome, too! So many things to see!

It was fine. I didn't like the access. The bus stop is far away and we had to take a cab back to the city.

Have you been wanting to witness the diverse natural events that Iceland is known for? Visit the one-of-a-kind Perlan Museum to check all those experiences from your bucket list in one day in one place.

Interactive Exhibitions and an Ice Cave

At the Perlan Museum, see diverse and simulated exhibitions on explosive volcanoes, earthquakes, and geothermal energy. Walk through the ice cave with a 100-meter-long tunnel, and stop at the glacier exhibits. Study the history of the glaciers of Iceland, displayed with advanced technology, and figure out their role in climate change in the northern landscapes.

The Planetarium, Underwater Cinema, & the Observation Deck

Sit back on comfortable chairs and view the enchanting Áróra Northern Lights Film at the planetarium show. Learn from the educational videos on volcanic eruptions and other natural wonders. Head to the underwater cinema to see illusions of whales and other sea creatures that seem all too real. Finally, climb to the observation deck to enjoy 360-degree views of Reykjavik, with the ocean, mountains, and more.
