What to expect
The only live lava show in the world that has become one of the must-see experiences in Iceland!
There are two ways to experience Lava Show in Reykjavik: through the award-winning Classic Experience, a family friendly indoor experience where you get the unique opportunity to get up close to real molten lava in a safe and controlled environment, learn everything there is to learn about Icelandic geology and volcanism and understand the powers that lie beneath the land of ice and fire.
The Premium Experience takes the Classic Experience to new heights. As well as the show, it also includes:
- An aperitif (drink) upon arrival
- Exclusive access to the premium lounge
- The balcony view seats (extra hot)
- A backstage tour to the furnace room
- A piece of lava from the show, giftwrapped
The show begins with a short welcome by the host and then a short educational video about Icelandic volcanism, the volcanoes close by - with special emphasis on the largest volcano eruptions in Icelandic history and the volcanic dangers surrounding the capital area. A must see experience.
While Lava Show is a family friendly attraction, it is not recommended for children under the age of five. If you want to bring a younger child to the show, you can, but then need to purchase a children's ticket.
Getting here is easy wit the FREE Grandi Shuttle, offering convenient transportation between central Reykjavík and the Grandi District. The shuttle stops at Lava Show, FlyOver Iceland, and Whales of Iceland, with departures throughout the day from City Hall, Harpa, Hilton Nordica, and Hótel Reykjavík Grand.
