So fun, went with kids age 9-14 and they loved it. The facility is cool and the staff are very nice and helpful. If you are around Harpa you should definitely check this out!

Volcano Express is a perfect activity to do in this freezing weather. Very well located close to the city center. A really fun and interesting show.

This was excellent. Both informative and exciting, it inspired us to go and try the Fly Over Iceland exhibition just down the road. Unfortunately, that turned out to be nowhere near as good. This, however, was genuinely spectacular and brought together our experiences in our short stay in Iceland.

This was a surprise!!! Really happy we came and this was one of the first things we have done after arriving in Iceland, fun, educational and a little scary at times 😆

Can’t miss it with the signs, but in the Harpa concert hall you take the two escalators down and will already see the very helpful and friendly staff. The building ofc also has toilets. It starts with a short explanation video, afterwards you go in the room and take a seat. The experience itself is short (less than 10min) - which is good for people with motion sickness. It feels intense but in the best way possible. You sit in moving seats and get wind and a little bit of heat. Very beautiful scenery shots and a little bit of knowledge, as well as captivating telling and music from an orchestra that was recorded in the hall. For all people easily scared: it’s doable. There is just one mini „seats drop“ scare, but only for not even half a second and very tiny. I enjoyed it.

We stopped to give volcano express while walking around harpa. Well done and very entertaining show. A good indoor stop when it's cold outside 🥶
