An Unforgettable Icelandic Experience!
Perlan Museum was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland! 🇮🇸✨
I had already seen the Northern Lights before, but I absolutely loved the Northern Lights expedition at Perlan. The ice cave experience was also incredible, definitely 100/100!
I especially want to give a big shoutout to Jack, who was incredibly helpful, friendly, and cheerful throughout our visit. He really went above and beyond and made the experience for me and my family 10x better. His positive energy made such a difference!
Thank you, Perlan, for such a memorable experience. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it! ❤️

Enjoyed the immersive experiences.
I enjoyed the museum. the ice cave and volcanic immerisve presentations were great. The one thing that was confusing to me was the signage in the musem as I got separated from my group at one time and had to ask for assistance to find them as they were in a presentation.

What a great surprise!
This was such a pleasant surprise. I was taking the Hop On Hop Off bus tour and decided to get out at Perlan without knowing much about it...wow, what a great experience! The volcano simulator was absolutely incredible and then walking though the ice cave was bizarre in a good way! Add in the observation deck and a really nice coffee shop and restaurant (which revolves!) with incredible 360° views of Reykjavik and this was a great way to spend a few hours.

Museum for little ones....
Museum for little ones. Not so good for Teenagers or grownups. Ice cave was nice. Arora light show was underwhelming. Volcano interative experience show was the best. A little pricey at ~ $60

Perlan Museum
Awards won for several years but I was underwhelmed here for the price we paid - $167 cdn. Maybe it’s just me. There is a good view from the top. We didn’t eat at the restaurant so no comment there.

Fun Museum
I didn’t realize ahead of time that this was more of an interactive experience than a typical museum but I was pleasantly surprised. The volcano experience and the ice tunnels were such a unique experience and much more fun than just walking through and reading signs.
