- See life-like underwater species at the interactive underwater cinema and take in surreal 360-degree views of the city from the observation deck.

We were very impressed with all of the exhibits including the ice cave and the Northern Lights show. The staff were lovely and welcoming and flexible too. We were late due to leaving a bag on a bus. But after a stressful morning, we were accommodated an hour later than planned. The building itself is fabulous and the outdoor deck and viewing area are well worth seeing.
Have you been wanting to witness the diverse natural events that Iceland is known for? Visit the one-of-a-kind Perlan Museum to check all those experiences from your bucket list in one day in one place.
Interactive Exhibitions and an Ice Cave
At the Perlan Museum, see diverse and simulated exhibitions on explosive volcanoes, earthquakes, and geothermal energy. Walk through the ice cave with a 100-meter-long tunnel, and stop at the glacier exhibits. Study the history of the glaciers of Iceland, displayed with advanced technology, and figure out their role in climate change in the northern landscapes.
The Planetarium, Underwater Cinema, & the Observation Deck
Sit back on comfortable chairs and view the enchanting Áróra Northern Lights Film at the planetarium show. Learn from the educational videos on volcanic eruptions and other natural wonders. Head to the underwater cinema to see illusions of whales and other sea creatures that seem all too real. Finally, climb to the observation deck to enjoy 360-degree views of Reykjavik, with the ocean, mountains, and more.
