Great host and must see show. - A fantastic experience the whole family enjoyed. Our nine year old son was totally engaged with everything being said and of course the LAVA. The host with an incredibly long mane, was extremely knowledgeable and had us all immersed in the show with his facts and stories. Highly recommended.

Worth it - It was very interesting to explain the history of the volcanoes first and then they put a film on us, from there the show was spectacular, because we saw how the lava came down and what happened with an ice, and if I put paper
They let us play the
Glass forming seemed to me a super show plus Luis gave us all the excellent explanation, answering

Amazing show for all ages!!!! - The lava show was amazing!!! Both my 9 and 6 year olds loved the show but we were all amazed by it. The presenter (can’t remember his name) was so good at interacting with the kids and explaining everything. It was cool learning about volcanos along with how the show was run. Also, the heat from the lava was really powerful in the room and it was cool feeling that sudden change in temperature. We definitely would recommend the show. We wish we had more time to visit the other show in Reykjavík to learn about that volcano system.
