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.
MoreVery clean, modern. Public toilets available and lots of very nice postcards and guides.

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.
MoreVery poor service in terms of recommendation for accommodation or hikes.
Il centro visitatori offre molte mappe e informazioni anche su altre regioni dellIslanda. Cè un piccolo museo e una proiezione di un video sul parco nazionale e sulleruzione del vulcano nel 1996.
MoreWe 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.
MoreVery informative place but would be great to develop this place or the other visitor centers more on US national Park style.The staff can be more engaging, especially for kids.Documentary was great.
MoreVery interesting and informative.
Really worth visiting. We were stopping through while circumventing the Ring road and found it very beneficial. The place had a lot of brochures and the person working there made some great recommendations.
