Really helpful and nice lady. Showed us lots of maps of hikes nearby which were really useful as they showed their length and duration.

We came here to kill time on a super windy day and were happy we did! Anla at the desk was so helpful in informing us on things to do in the area and up north as well. She also was super friendly with our active toddler and made her laugh which made our day!They have some older videos playing on the top floor and a small coloring area on the second area for kids.Wouldn’t need longer than 30 minutes here and it’s free.

Centre de visiteur avec un petit musée dhistoire naturelle gratuit sur les oiseaux en Islande ainsi que sur les volcans. Il y a aussi une petite boutique où lon peut notamment y acheter des cartes topographiques. Le musée en faut la peine et peu se visiter assez rapidement ou prendre plus de temps en écoutant les différents petit film de quelques minutes.

We visited on 26th June and spent time watching the movies and viewing the exhibits - dont miss the movie of the glacial flood. We met a friendly, humurous and informative young man who gave us great tips for visits and camping - the Puffin tip was the best. I unfortunately did not get his name.
