The Grapevine's take
LAVA Centre
Deceptively light and cheery on the outside, this interactive museum is a brilliantly constructed immersive volcanic experience. Combining rich scientific research, bold industrial design and incredible artistry, its informative and interactive displays provide some truly unique insights into the volcanic history of Iceland. “I walked in and I felt like I was in a Doctor Who episode,” said one panellist. The centre also features a film portion, a nice gift shop, and a bright and spacious café with great cakes and light meals. It’s a genuinely unique and unexpected attraction.

About this tour
LAVA Centre is the most awarded exhibition in Iceland, a beautiful and interactive expirence embraced by the five giant volcanoes surrounding the center.
In the exhibition area visitors can learn about the geological wonders that form this volcanic island and the characteristics of different types of volcanoes. Interactive displays and earthquake simulators will provide an immersive experience for visitors.
The volcano cinema visitors can watch a 15 minute long film about the latest eruptions in Iceland and the impact of volcanic eruptions on the environment and local communities.
And finally the observation platform where visitors can see the five volcano up close and view the surrounding landscape from a bird's eye view including the neighbouring 4 glaciers. The platform provides an ideal opportunity to take photos and capture memories of the visit.
Finally guests can visit the gift shop and grab a coffee. The beutiful Rammagerðin gift shop is filled with beutiful souvenirs, local design and small gifts to take back home.
After visiting the Lava Centre, visitors will hopefully depart with a greater understanding of the wonders of volcanoes in Iceland and have a better understanding of the volcanic landscape en route.
The itinerary will take approximately 1 hour to complete, but many visitors use even more to enjoy all of the displays, watch the film and take in the stunning views from the observation platform.
