The Geothermal Exhibition

A really good morning activity. It was really informative and well set out. We both learnt lots about geothermal energy and also carbon capture and storage. It was very encouraging to see how Iceland are working towards net zero emissions. We were able to see lots of cool things including the turbine room and how the electricity it produced. Would appeal to all ages and variety of interests. It was also very good value. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend a visit.

This was a really great exhibit. Great to see a full size example of what the rest of the world can use. It took us about an hour to go through and they have info for adults, students, and kids. The building is gorgeous and you can see the history of geothermal, their production and the exciting news of carbon fixing. If you're going out to the south coast, make a pit stop!

Very interesting to understand more about the very unique geothermal activity and technologies around which Iceland and modern Islandic people revolve. It was a bit short even, but the last floor already has a lot to learn about when we take the time to read and watch everything. To count between 1 and 2 hours long.

Very interesting to research how the geothermal water and steam is used for electricity and hot water with their unique systems.
On arrival download the audio guide for free on your phone and bring your own earphones to listen to. You can see the stations and pipes which is cool!
We loved the most learning about Carbfix removing Carbon Dioxide from the air into stone.
Good ticket price and free parking.

An interesting place where you can visually see how electricity is produced in Iceland. To do this, use hot water extracted from geothermal sources. But that's not all, the Icelandic people are very concerned about the environment, so they end up carbon dioxide underground along with water, where it combines with the rock and turns into a solid state.

The museum is small, and therefore easy to do when you're on your way to something else. We went here on our last day on our way to the airport, which was a great choice. The museum teaches you how Iceland is warmed and how CO2 can be stored as solid form. Very nice staff too!

Really enjoyed learning more about the process, very informative!

I would reccomend this tour if you are interested in learning about geothermal power.

Amazing place to visit.

Not only it's a museum - but it is also one of the major power plants in Iceland (Hellisheiði Power Station)

It has power plant in the back which museum exposes partially and lets you see operation of the turbines (which looks insane, the size of turbines is just crazy to apprehend), all exhibits have English as second language too so it's great, some of exhibits are also interactive.

They have app as well to download which (from I've been told) has English but I haven't used it as I prefer to just go at my own pace without narrator, yet I imagine the app is good as well since all staff spoke English perfectly.

Will definitely come back (Just to see a giant turbine with my own eyes again) and just to visit this awesome building (Ultra-Modern glass building in middle of nowhere) - It looks crazy yet subtle.

Excellent exhibit in an operational geothermal plant generating electricity and hot water. Beyond the exhibit itself with interactive displays you'll be able to see a real industrial energy facility via observation areas. Really friendly staff who not only sell you a ticket but do so with a smile, provide top tips and answer any questions. Plenty of well maintained parking. Clean and organised facility.

Great exhibit,with excellent descriptions. ADA compliant . WC . Elevators. Audio tours. Gift shop.

Super videos in English to help explain carbon fixing. Brilliant introduction by staff about the process of Geothermal Fluid extraction.
Small selection of chocolate and hot drinks.

Highly educational with some excellent interactive elements ! Definitely worth a visit

This is a fascinating power station to explore
You get to look in both turbine halls and through a door marked "Emergency exit only" the staff said it was ok to go out on the terrace to view the power plant.
Please do this- the videos as well are very interesting.
There are loos - a mini cafe and gift shop

Very cool. It was very interesting to hear about how Iceland uses 100% renewable energy right from their local environment. It's awesome that they are able to be almost completely energy independent and sustain themselves this way. The plant and the tour were awesome to see. Definitely worth a visit.

Loads of useful information and interesting exhibits. A great stop on a trip as it showcases Geothermal energy perfectly. The pictures explain themselves - excellent views. Spacious car park, not too busy.

Extremely informative & fascinating. The power plant appears to be at the cutting edge of Geothermal research so is well worth a visit! It doesn't take all that long to visit though, perhaps an hour maximum. Our guide spoke extremely good English and was clearly very passionate and proud of what the plant has achieved so far. There are also a number of exhibits and infographics, all of which are very interesting and up to date. It would be great to see other countries following in the footsteps of Iceland and make use of their own Geothermal resources!

As engineers, this was a very interesting visit. We did it was part of our Golden Circle tour. The presentation was great and the equipment is impressive. Took some great photos.

Very interesting exhibition! I truly enjoyed all the information given.
I recommend to anyone visiting Iceland! Visit this plant instead of useless exhibitions what Reykjavik is full of :)

Visited the exhibition as part of school trip in 2016.

The information is well presented and easy to understand. The staff who showed us more were willing to answer questions & knew a lot about their work. Great place to visit to learn more of Geothermal energy
