Located in Reykjavik's most iconic building, Perlan – Wonders of Iceland, offers unforgettable experiences of Iceland’s rare and astonishing natural wonders. See, hear, and feel the power of volcanoes, earthquakes, and geothermal energy.

Stand inside a real ice cave, immerse yourself in interactive exhibits, witness the Northern Lights, and feel volcanic power. Each display tells a story about our connection to nature, inspiring a deeper appreciation for the world we share. The combination of cutting-edge technology and interactive experiences, along with captivating information and stories, makes the exhibitions unique, enjoyable, and educational at the same time. At last, enjoy the observation deck with an amazing 360° view of Reykjavik.

Staff member on the ticket desk was very shouty, ordering us to be certain places and certain times. However all other members of staff were lovely. The whole museum was really interesting and we really enjoyed it all.
