Aurora Reykjavík - The Northern Lights Center — Attraction in Reykjavik

Aurora Reykjavik, the Northern Light Center, is a fabulous and unique place to visit, and I totally recommend it. I went there on my own on a Saturday day (as a part of self-discovering the city) and had so much fun. I really want to go back and show this place to my partner. He is from Portugal, has always dreamt about seeing aurora lights in Iceland, and is very interested in all the science behind it. Once you are there, you decide how deep you want to explore all the knowledge behind the aurora lights, but just so you know, it is all there for. The staff is very welcoming and warm. There are a lot of things to do and see, and you can go there for many different purposes. I think this is a great place to go for a romantic date (there is a lovely café with a nice selection of teas and coffees and something to nibble). You can, of course, get a lot of information about aurora lights in Iceland and across the world. If you have kids, take them with you; they will have a lot of fun, and what is better than educating and having fun at the same time? They have a lot of digital tools available to make your trip into the magical world of aurora so interesting! To sum up, even if you are on a short trip in Reykjavik or live here, do not miss this place, as it is a sweet precious gem in the world of museums! I was taken by this place, especially because of the warm, welcoming staff, coziness, and tools they...

great little aurora borealis "science museum"/coffee shop with cool interesting aurora borealis crafts and souvenirs you won't find elsewhere. We knew we would not be in Iceland during the Northern Lights, and I only had about an hour or so with my 3 year old so I didn't want to do a big museum. This was a little gem near the whale museum and they bring the aurora borealis to you. It reminded me of a special exhibit that you would find in a bigger museum, which is perfect for if you have any kids with short attention spans. We were able to walk there from the harbor and it is near the hop on hop off bus for the whale experience (and there is some signage, although I recommended if there was any way they add more it would be helpful) and it was open later than some of the other museums on a weeknight so we made a visit. There are information displays and some interactive parts (ie set your camera settings to take a borealis photo) and an amazing little movie theater with comfy sleeping bags and pillows and a huge screen of aurora photos and relaxing music so you can sit or lie down and enjoy a little relaxation with it. The museum was not so busy when we went, so it was a great contained area my 3 year old could run through and watch...
