Interesting factual guide to the aurora. It’s a little way out down by the harbour, but well worth a visit - easily walkable from the town centre. The best part was the virtual reality headset !

My son saw this museum on a YouTube short, I believe, and wanted to put a pin on the map. We enjoyed the science explanations and the beautiful photography. We regretted not buying a 66 North arctic hat which was a little cheaper than the actual store. Also, the young lady at the reception was super helpful.

I bought tickets for a night excursion to see the Northern Lights on Jan 1st 2025 from Reykjavík Excursions. I specifically bought from this company because it included free entry to Aurora Reykjavik on the day of the excursion. The Aurora forecast wasn’t very good, so I didn’t expect to get a good display and thought, at least I’ll learn something at the center. This was a great decision, the display isn’t very expansive, but it is very well laid out, the staff are friendly and helpful and the display was both informative and very well presented. We spent about 90 minutes there and it felt just about right. As a side note, the forecast changed significantly during the evening and we were treated to a spectacular display and this was made even more enjoyable by the fact that we had more knowledge on the subject and realized the significance of the rarity of the red aurora that we witnessed. I’d certainly recommend Aurora Reykjavík especially as a prelude to an excursion!

Excellent venue . Warmly welcomed , and given good advice by the super helpful young lady on reception to make the most of our very short visit there . I would highly recommend this informative and charming little place.

An extremely informative place to visit before my northern lights tour. A good preview really And the person in charge at the time of my visit, Shannon, was extremely friendly and approachable. Had a lovely time overall! Thanks Aurora Reykjavik!!

Very informative exhibit about the Northern Lights and how they are formed. Great video show of the lights over many of Iceland's tourist destinations. The female attendant was absolutely top notch..she made us free coffee, explained and answered all our questions, and then even called and arranged taxis for the 8 of us!!
