LAVA Centre: Entry Ticket
About this experience
Iceland was born from volcanoes, and the Lava Centre shows you how.
This interactive exhibition takes you through the volcanic and seismic forces that shaped the island, from activity millions of years ago to major eruptions of the last century, including the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull ash cloud.
Walk through galleries, experience an earthquake simulator, see a reconstruction of the magma flow beneath Iceland, and step through simulated ash clouds and smoke. A 240° screen shows the surrounding volcanoes erupting one by one, while the cinema screens a short film on recent eruptions.
In the foyer, you’ll find live earthquake data, current volcanic activity, and a Northern Lights forecast.
After the exhibition, head up to the observation deck for views of the volcanoes you’ve just learned about. Then take a break at the onsite café or browse the gift shop.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
