There’s a small museum type exhibition outside the main theatre room which shows 2 documentaries; both are really interesting. We took teenagers but I think smaller children would get bored as its 53 minutes long

There’s no surprises here: an hour long show split into two separate movies and a small museum. Interesting to see on a rainy day but probably not my first choice of activities if I’m in Reykjavík.

Lovely little museum, the video on the eruptions was very informative in a lovely little theatre. Staff were very helpful and very knowledgable. I learnt a lot here.

Loved the hands on exhibition of rocks, up to the minute earthquake monitor (30 earthquakes across Iceland in last 48h!) and informative films about local volcanic eruptions of last 40 years. A bit pricey, but, hey, isn't everything in Iceland pricey?

The (free!) hands-on exhibit of all the different types of rocks and gems found around Iceland is great, and it's always fun to have the opportunity to float a rock (pumice) in water! The video exhibition is great too, very informative about the human impact of two relatively recent volcano eruptions.

Excellent movies depicting the effects of volcanic eruptions on the inhabitants of nearby villages. Helps you understand the role of plate tectonics. We were able to pick up the rocks and feel the difference between them. Be good for kids too. Had a good chat with the young woman working that day who was very knowledgeable.

Really enjoyed this experience. Good films (less than one hour), educational and shared the history of Iceland through experiences rather than just "telling". The rock samples in the lobby really helped make the films feel more real. Only disappointment was that the woman who herded us in and out when it was over, offered to answer questions at the end and then didn't leave any time for that to happen.

The exhibition itself gave quite emotional experience: you can touch or even uncover rocks, crystals and ash samples. I've personally stuck with the maps, because they uncover detailed and comprehensive information.
I was a tiny bit disappointed with the videos, though: the documentaries are far from "Attenborough-style" and too trivial. However, it could be a biased opinion from boring physicist :)

With well done films, learned about Iceland's volcanic eruptions and how different they are from elsewhere in the world. Don't miss it.

We visited Volcano House where they air two films on the hour which are, funnily enough, about volcanoes. The first is about the Heimaey volcanic eruption in 1973, whilst the second is about the more recent 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull.
If you've got a a spare hour then taking in the films and having a look at the small exhibition is an interesting thing to do. The exhibition is free; to watch the films you need to buy a ticket at a cost of about £11 each.
