A beautiful and very clean museum, with lots of interactive exhibits, fun shows about volcanoes—including the smell of lava and the Northern Lights—and the ice cave experience is amazing. A top attraction to visit in Reykjavik.

Everything went smoothly. The price was way better than buying on site. Highly recommend using this app and buying ahead to help save money and quicker entry.

I had such a wonderful experience at the Perlan Museum! From the beginning, everything was well organized. The directions were clear, the timing was accurate, and the location itself is absolutely beautiful. The museum was fascinating to explore, with so many interactive exhibits and unique features. I especially loved the observation dome with its incredible panoramic views, and I learned so much throughout my visit. The staff at the front desk were incredibly kind and went above and beyond by helping me understand how to get my tax refund, which I really appreciated. I also enjoyed trying some new desserts at the restaurant and ended up meeting some wonderful people there. It was so interesting hearing about different countries and cultures while enjoying the view. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to add more chairs near the front of the lava show room so that more visitors can comfortably enjoy the presentation. As a solo traveler, this museum truly stood out. I felt welcomed, included, and treated with genuine kindness. Unfortunately, I had experienced some unfriendly interactions elsewhere in Iceland, so visiting Perlan completely changed my perspective. The warm staff, beautiful setting, engaging exhibits, and welcoming atmosphere made this one of the highlights of my trip. It made my Iceland experience feel truly worthwhile, and I would absolutely recommend visiting!

A wonderful place to visit. The best money spent in Iceland. The museum tells the story of Iceland’s wonders—its volcanoes, geology, ice ages, and the flora and fauna of this incredible island—in an interesting, modern, and interactive way that’s easy to follow. Every visitor is treated to a spectacular show consisting of three amazing short journeys: a film about the volcano that erupted in 2010 near the Blue Lagoon, followed by a journey into the Earth’s interior (jaw-dropping!) in a small room with a spherical display (something like the Sphere in Vegas, only in a mini version), and finally, a walk through 400 tons of ice simulating the entrance to the interior of a glacier. It was simply AWESOME!
    • Explore Iceland's only planetarium and indoor ice cave at Perlan —Wonders of Iceland with access to high-tech exhibits and digital guides.

    • Step inside glaciers, watch the Northern Lights dance across the dome, and see Iceland’s breathtaking nature brought to life, all in one unforgettable visit.

    • Walk through a real ice cave as you step inside a 100-meter-long manmade glacier tunnel and feel the chill of Iceland’s frozen heart.

    • Journey into a volcano to experience Iceland’s raw power through interactive exhibits and real-life eruption footage.

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

    • Entry to Perlan Museum – Wonders of Iceland (access to all exhibits, planetarium shows & observation deck)
  • You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.
