Amazing and informative
We thought at first it was a bit pricey for tickets - two seniors and it cost £51.58 but it was worth every single penny. The displays were fabulous and some were interactive. My favourite was the planetarium. The seats were comfy and reclined to enjoy the planets and Aurora. The coffee shop up top was excellent giving 380 degree views. The observatory deck gave the same views but you freeze to death out there! There’s a space on the lower ground floor for hanging coats and jackets but we didn’t use it and some people did. All in all our visit took 5 hours and as it was a spectacular clear blue sky all of that time we used the coffee shop twice to enjoy the views.

Fascinating museum, but expensive
It is extremely expensive, but the museum is really interesting and I would consider it a must at the beginning or end of a visit to Iceland, to put everything into context. The restaurant is OK, nothing great, but it has a panoramic view. Be aware that you will not get the view if there is fog or clouds, which happens often in Iceland.
