Really informative and interesting. On entrance I wasn’t sure it would take us long but I was wrong. Do much information and photographs, film and music shows and a fantastic virtual reality experience at the end. Probably best for older children to enable them to access all the information.

Un museo davvero ben fatto.
Se, come noi, non avete la fortuna di vedere l'Aurora Boreale dal vivo, qui potete rosicare un pò :)
Alla fine della visita, vi offrono anche una bevanda calda, che abbiamo davvero apprezzato.

We had two days in the city , being on a cruise stop and had read about the centre prior to arriving. We had taken the hoponoff bus ( note the stop in their map isn’t where it is - they are near the Whales of Iceland -stop 4)
Admission price was 7800kr about £45 per couple. Facilities were explained fully - nice cafe area and seating ( we needed to dry off first )
There is an innovative selfie camera near the entrance. You take your picture and enter email and it’s sent - cool and free.
The exhibition is really informative and explained the phenomenon- that we sandfly missed in the Uk recently.
There is also a film area with beanbags that takes about an hour - but you stay as long as you want.
Finally there are virtual cameras that you can use and experience the Northern Lights.
Nice centre - well run and worth a visit .

The experience was great. We enjoyed seeing the Northern Lights since we may never see them ourselves.
I gave it a 4 because it moved and the tickets as well as the literature still had the old address.

I visited the Northern Lights Center for the second time and I loved it as much as the first time last year.
It's very informative and interactive.
You can easily spend hours there, reading all the panels and watching the documentaries, and hardly notice the time passing.
I learned so much about the Northern Lights.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
I highly recommend this museum, one of the top ones in Reykjavik, in my opinion.

The museum was well set up. The exhibition is very interactive and you get a lot of interesting information about the Northern Lights. Both the physical phenomena and the historical facts are well explained. There is parking directly in front of the museum, but it is also easy to reach on foot from the city center. We would go back anytime.

Was a good resemblance since the lights were not visible for my visit. The virtual reality was great and I loved all the beautiful art & photography.

My wife and I had 2 hours of Bliss. Experiencing what the Aurora Borealis would be like.
We had a very pleasant and enjoyable afternoon, I would definitely recommend a visit to the Aurora centre. One day we will see the lights for real but in the meantime this is a very close experience. Thank you.

A small centre with informative displays. Impressive cinema and VR displays of the Northern Lights. Friendly staff. Free coffee. Wish we had been able to see the real thing, but the weather was not good for our stay.

I loved it, everything was very clear and organized. The videos they show are spectacular. Very friendly people.
They have the option of taking photos that they later send by email, having a nice coffee and they have souvenirs for sale.
