Very engaging and informative experience followed up with a fascinating demonstration of lava and its properties. Was very cool to learn about the volcanic history of Iceland.

It is a decent show. rated it 3 star. Could see molten lava and it cooling, but nothing too special about it. Pricing in Iceland is expensive anyway, so $50 for a 30 min show is a bit much. Kids may be more fascinated with it.

It gets hot in the room. Very educational and loved the 7 year story as to how it came to be a business.
