TRAVELERS’ REVIEWS

Fantastic museum, easy to find & good value for money. Very informative with some excellent exhibits & beautiful images of the Northern Lights - the exhibits also included English-language audio which was very helpful. They also sell some beautiful photography artwork of Iceland and the Northern Lights, I found it difficult to choose just one print to buy as a souvenir!

All cat lovers need to go on this tour! It's also a fantastic way to explore the downtown area on one of your first days. You meet lots of cats, enjoy a delicious hot chocolate and meet some new friends. Highly recommend!
by Harison W
This might've been our favorite tour we did while in Iceland. It was great to get some local insight from Inga and see parts of Reykjavik we otherwise might've missed. We especially enjoyed meeting all the local celebrity cats and Kattakaffihúsið was a super cozy cat cafe to take a break at, we even went back a few times. There were only 6 people in out tour group and it was great to be able to chat with them as well while walking around the city.

A great place where you can find solid scientific information, history, myths and legends. If nature has been unkind and you have not been lucky enough to experience this exceptional phenomenon, a spectacle on a cinematic screen offers the opportunity to see, for more than half an hour, the most spectacular Northern Lights recorded. At the same time, you are prepared to understand why the lens of the camera can capture the subtleties of light wavelengths that escape the naked eye.

Loved this experience. Lots of great images, interactive displays and explanations of how and why the aurora appears. Particularly liked the longer aurora lights film and the separate VR headset experience. Really recommend this if you’re interested in learning more about the science, mythology and history of discovery around the aurora.
