What is Aurora Reykjavík?
Aurora Reykjavík – The Northern Lights Center – is Iceland’s original Northern Lights museum. It’s an interactive experience where you can learn about the aurora borealis through science, stories, and stunning photography. Visitors can enjoy immersive films, touch-screen exhibits, and see the Northern Lights all year round — indoors.
Where is Aurora Reykjavík located?
Aurora Reykjavík is located at Fiskislóð 53, Reykjavík, in the vibrant Grandi Harbour area, just a short 10-minute walk from the city center. The location is easy to reach by foot, car, or bus, and surrounded by cafés and other top attractions, such as Lava Show, Flyover Iceland, and Whales of Iceland.
When is Aurora Reykjavík open?
Aurora Reykjavík is open daily, all year round.
Opening hours vary by season. Check our Google Business page for updates on holiday hours,
What are the starting times of the show?
We don’t have starting times. Our show runs continuously, so you can enjoy it as soon as you get here. The last admissions are always 30 minutes before closing time.
How long should I plan to stay?
A typical visit lasts about 45–60 minutes, but you’re welcome to stay longer to rewatch the film or explore the displays at your own pace.
Do you have a shop or café?
Yes, we have a Northern Lights-themed gift shop and gallery featuring local photography, handmade jewellery, and souvenirs. Most of our items are only available at Aurora Reykjavík. We also have a small café with excellent coffee specialities, and homemade, local pastries.
Can I combine my visit with other attractions?
Yes, Aurora Reykjavík is located near FlyOver Iceland, Whales of Iceland, Lava Show and the Maritime Museum — perfect for a full day of exploring Reykjavík’s creative harbor district.
Do you also offer Northern Lights Excursions?
Yes — we collaborate with a network of expert local guides to offer small-group northern lights tours on a minibus or a super jeep, as well as private tours, from late August to mid-April. These excursions are ideal for anyone — families, photographers, or first-time visitors — who want a personalised experience and enhance their chances to see the Northern Lights without the hassle of driving themselves in winter conditions in the night, while trying to interpret the complex forecasts. We focus on flexibility, following real-time forecasts to clear-sky spots around southwest Iceland, and therefore can proudly say that we have the highest success rate.
Where can I check tonight’s Northern Lights forecast?
You can check the most accurate Northern Lights forecast in Iceland on our website — it combines space weather data og local cloud forecasts to help you find clear skies and plan your aurora hunt.
Are there any discounts or reductions?
