Situated in the heart of Reykjavík, the Lava Show provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness Iceland’s raw volcanic power up close. You'll be captivated as real molten lava, heated to an astounding 1.100°C, flows right before your eyes, offering an immersive experience that is truly unparalleled.

Feel the warmth radiating from the lava, listen to its sizzle, and watch it glow under the guidance of expert Lava Masters. They will lead you on a journey through Iceland’s fiery geology, helping you understand how volcanic eruptions have shaped not only the country's landscapes but also its culture and history. This award-winning attraction has been recognised for its uniqueness and educational value. After the experience, unwind in the cosy reception area with a warm cup of coffee, fresh tea, or hot chocolate on colder days. If you prefer something stronger, an ice-cold local beer or a pre-mixed cocktail is available.

To cater to different preferences, two experiences are offered. The Classic Experience is a spectacular live lava demonstration suitable for all ages, making it a great choice for families. For those seeking something more exclusive, the Premium Experience offers access to a VIP area, pre-show refreshments, prime viewing from a hot-zone balcony, an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour, and a special lava souvenir to remember this extraordinary encounter.

Know in advance:

  • Free parking is available directly at the Lava Show facility

  • Seating is not assigned and is available on a first-come, first-served basis
  • For safety reasons, all babies need to be seated on the third row, near an exit
