“My son really enjoyed this museum; he said it was his favorite. We learned so much and were amazed at how big the whales were. Kids get to answer questions about what they are learning and at the end get a certificate.”
Skip the line at Reykjavík’s National Museum of Iceland, with a 10-language audio guide, Wi-Fi, and 2,000 artifacts from Vikings to today.
“Better numbering for each exhibit. It was a little hard to follow along, exhibits seemed spread out and not clearly sequential.”
Learn northern lights myths and science in Reykjavik, then get projections and 360 VR plus aurora photo tips in about 1 hour.
“My solo traveling experience at Reykjavik’s Northern Lights Museum was fantastic. Self tour guide was great. Very informative information provided about northern lights from its history to discovery and how they are formed etc. Virtual reality experience was okay could have been bigger in room space instead of sitting down better to stand up to look around a full 360 VR Experience. Make sure you pick up a copy and purchase your Blu-Ray souvenir disc of Nortthern Lights actually recorded in Iceland for a memorable keepsake! Worth checking out!”
