What you'll do

Visitors describe it as edutainment at its finest: a theatrical, scientific and cultural presentation that brings volcanic processes to life in a safe, controlled environment. This attraction consistently ranks among Iceland's highest-rated experiences thanks to excellent customer feedback and careful production values.
During the show you will observe genuine molten lava: see it flowing, hear it sizzling and feel the heat it emits from a safe distance. The presentation combines demonstration, expert explanation and visual spectacle to reveal how lava behaves and why volcanic activity shapes Iceland's landscape. The experience is suitable for a broad audience and is designed to entertain as well as inform.
Whether you are a geology enthusiast, a family seeking an unforgettable outing, or a traveller eager for something wholly original in Reykjavík, the Lava Show offers an intimate, memorable encounter with one of nature’s most dramatic forces.
