5.00What a great experience. We came in July when the chances of actually experiencing Northern lights was very slim. This was a great alternative. Loved the 360 googles & the photo taken that you email to Yourself. 👏👏 Staff super friendly. Gift shop , restrooms available Provided free snack & coffee

5.00Loved this experience. Lots of great images, interactive displays and explanations of how and why the aurora appears. Particularly liked the longer aurora lights film and the separate VR headset experience. Really recommend this if you’re interested in learning more about the science, mythology and history of discovery around the aurora.
Too expensive

2.00Aurora Reykjavík was unfortunately rather disappointing. The visit lasted less than an hour and did not seem particularly well organized overall, especially in the VR area, where there were too few glasses and one was constantly disturbed by other guests. Another big problem was that about 70% of the QR codes for the audio guide did not work. The films were also quite long-winded, while the VR experience itself was far too short. For the price I would have expected significantly more.
Great Atmosphere and Stunning Northern Lights Presentation

5.00I had a truly lovely visit to the Northern Lights Center in Reykjavik. The atmosphere is warm and cosy, and the friendly chat with the receptionist made the experience feel even more personal. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and added a nice human touch to the visit. The highlight for me was the 3D presentation of the Northern Lights. It shows the aurora as it appears in different parts of Iceland, with a beautiful variety of colours and shapes. It’s a great way to understand how unique and magical this phenomenon can be — even if you don’t get to see it outdoors. There is also a small gift shop with carefully selected items, perfect for picking up a meaningful souvenir. A wonderful stop in Reykjavik and a great way to experience the Northern Lights in a calm, informative, and inspiring setting. Highly recommended.
Overpriced for what you get

3.00Really a bit of a tourist trap, especially considering the cost. The museum is small and while the exhibits are interesting, you don't learn much more than you would find on a good website. The movie was really nice as we got to see places we had been and aurora captured there but we had seen an IMAX presentation at a museum back home that was much more informative. Unless you have not seen the aurora in person, you can skip this attraction.
Excellent experience
