Attended this with my husband and 4 kids In Reykjavik. What an amazing show. I can’t imagine ever being able to have this experience elsewhere. You are up close and face to face with lava and the guide is so informative. What an experience!
Well worth a visit.

Great show, very informative, really well presented, very original idea, be careful there are two Lava shows one is in Reykjavik and the other is in Vik a 2.5 hour drive away, we accidentally bought tickets for the wrong one, but everyone was really helpful and let us in to the Reykjavik show, we were not the first people to do this. Worth a visit.
Highly recommend

Brilliant show and very informartive. The host was very engaging and funny and made the show. We accidently booked the show in Vik instead of Reykjavik but the company swapped it for us with no problems.
Cool show

Really well made show, super informative & a once in a lifetime experience as you get up close with lava and are shown different reactions of lava when being brought together with water/ice etc. 100% recommendation for all ages.
Get up close with Lava !

Well done and informative and interesting !! The woman presenting did a great job sharing her passion for lava and the history of the area
Very good but not great

Great little show, small intimate room so good close up viewing for everyone, half the show is a video/ history of the area so a little over priced but still glad we did it
Lava show ……. Rocks !

We saw a very informative lava show,
We hope Bastian gets to see his volcano eruption soon
Great show and highly recommended
Worth seeing!

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was concerned the show would be “fake” with lots of hype. It was actually very informative - presented by a masters level geologist. We all (ages 10-70) learned a lot.
Very unique

First, it's a pretty unique show that is definitely worth experiencing. Second, it gets very hot once the lava starts flowing. Our host was Bastian, who did a great job throughout. It's a nice blend of commentary, videos to watch with history of Icelandic volcanic eruptions (one that specifically affected the owner's grandfather or great grandfather), and then liquid lava pouring out and being manipulated in interesting ways.
Better than a real volcano

Great experience and very educational! I highly recommend it. And The Soup Company serves delicious soup.
