Almost unreal! Don't miss - Wow! this is an incredible show. Seeing Lava flowing just couple of meters away is almost unreal. There was a very interesting film at the beginning and then we could feel the Lava heating the entire room when it started flowing from the opening at an upper location in the far wall! I believe the name of the person presenting and explaining was Bastian. He was extremely good and professional. He demonstrated several things with the Lava flow that created interesting formations.
Don't miss!

Learn a bunch about LAVA!! - Very interesting!! We had already toured a number of locations impacted by volcanoes, but this gave us an up close and personal view of lava. The event is only an hour but very worth the time.

Don’t miss the Lava Show! - Loved this show! We just returned from a 10 day Ring Road trip with lots of adventures/activities and my 12yo son said this show was the highlight of the trip! Definitely recommend.

Excellent experience, highly entertaining and informative - Excellent experience, highly entertaining and informative. The video wasn’t great and a bit overdramatic, but the actual demonstration was top quality and the presenter Johanna had great knowledge and answered all of the group’s many questions.

Lava Show Reykjavik - Brilliant show and the presenter was really good and an expert in picking up the lava which was mesmerising, the witches tails were fascinating.

Great Show! Recommend checking it out. - We were a little hesitant to go to this show since there was SO much advertising - seems counterintuitive, but that often means they are trying to compensate for the actual quality of the show.
Turns out that was not the case here; the show was excellently done, very informative, and entertaining. Our "lava operator" was a great host and I recommend folks check this out.
The lava drink was pretty good too! :)

Northern lights - The eruption pickers we got.
No Northern lights because of that light show.
Long bus ride though

Thought there would be more to it..... - Speaking strictly value for money, I did not think there was enough. Nothing wrong with the show.
The narrator was good, they showed a clip going over history of volcanoes, and that was good, but I could have seen that on any number of other places.
Overall, my kids liked it since they saw lava.
Personally, this is a good activity as a time filler, especially if the weather outside is not conducive for outdoor activities.
