    The lava centre offers two options. A 20 min film and and exhibit. Both helped us understand Icelandic volcanos better. The exhibit is an interactive walk thru. Go early while it is still quiet because once it’s busy having to wait in line to see each part would be frustrating.

    My favorite exhibit was the time-traveling globe that shows you how the hot spot moved over billions of years until it became the Iceland of today. The movie was also fun. We laid on the bags in the front - perfect if you have a toddler with you!

    We ended up wishing that this had been our first stop in Iceland, agreeing with others that it provides great geological context for all the amazing sights you'll see during your visit. A thorough and well-presented overview of the forces churning under this fascinating land. The staff were super helpful in answering any questions we had.
