After speaking to fellow travellers in or B&B, they recommended that we visit here after we visit the big waterfall just up the road. As we approached, I thought surely this isn't it...I thought they were talking about a big fancy building with lots of displays and information! I wasn't expecting much but after the film started, I was actually really surprised! It was quite an eye opener and very interesting how much an impact a volcano can have on a family and its farm. Well worth a visit, highly recommend!

We visited the Eyjafjallajokull Visitor Centre as our last stop on the South Coast tour. The centre closes at 4.30 and our guide phoned the centre ahead of time to see if they would keep the centre open for longer as we wouldn't get there til around 4.45... they were more than happy to oblige, and I'm glad they stayed open later, as it was a really worthwhile visit. The centre is essentially a small building with a cinema room for viewing a video about the 2010 eruption, and a small souvenir shop, where you can buy soaps and other items made from the volcanic ash. Compared to the souvenir shops in Reykjavik, the gift shop at Eyjafjallajokull is actually cheaper so I'd recommend buying your gifts there instead, as they're made with authentic volcanic ash from the local area, and I'm pretty sure that the money goes back into the local community, which you will see in the video was devestated by the 2010 eruption. The video is a really interesting insight into how the eruption affected the families who live in a village right under the volcano, and how they have managed to recover in the years since. In true Icelandic style, the resilience shown buy the families in the video was heartwarming, they just got on with things and didn't dwell on it. It really put things into perspective in that while the world came to a standstill with flights being grounded, we never really stopped to think about the people living directly in the volcano's path. I'd definitely recommend visiting the Eyjafjallajokull Visitor Centre, if only to learn how to properly pronounce the Volcano's name!

The Eyjafjallajokull Visitor Centre is a small house with a featured movie to tell the story of the 2010 ash eruption behind and adversely affecting the Eyjafjallajokull Village. The movie is a very good, interesting summary of what happened. The centre is a new source of incoem for the village after the disaster from which the village has well recovered. The souvenirs inside like the bottle of 2010 ash and the 2010 lava stone mounted on a small wooden stand make good gifts though you may fidn them expensive. If you want a free gift, you may turn to the rectabgular 2010 ash eruption sign across the road where you will find one or two long pots with some plants marking the main entrance to the village. From the pots you will find ash which is from the 2010 eruption and you may pick a little bit of it and put it into your own clean plastic or glass bottle as souvenir. I understand that is legal though you may have contrary experience in places like Svalbard, Antarctica or the Falklands. I did come for a photo-stop in July 2013 and the tour leader then asked us to consider returning to visit the centre in future, and now I did it. Somebody did take their free gifts and that appeared no problem for the local tour guide then.

This was a stop included in the south coast tour. The film shown was informative and very interesting. You see footage that you may not have seen before and there are some clever uses for the debris and rocks left behind from the eruption. The staff answer any questions as the lady lives on the farm. She experience it all first hand and that's what makes this place so worth a visit. It's a cute little family run place with a little shop and it keeps you interested for a while.

Interesting video, nice pictures, little souvenir shop, impressive visit to nearby farmer, makes a man humble. Well organised by very polite staff, probably crowded during summer time. We complain about aeroplanes grounded while they had to clean up all the ashes. Pictures showing the hard work of the icelandic volunteers. Amazing how fast they cleaned everything. After each volcano eruption.

We couldn't have missed visiting the famous Volcano some that closed many airways a few years ago. The family whose home/farm was directly underneath the Volcano have opened a "Visitor Centre" directly over the road from their home and it shows you an amazing film of the event and the clearing up afterwards (funny how they managed to Video their home and family life while the eruption was taking place though) very entrepreneur family! Even so, they are actually serving Souveniers, tea and coffe snacks in the Visitor Centre. Worth a visit.

This was a cute little, family-run stop on the side of the road. The visitor center is nothing more than a large shed/small barn that houses some bathroom facilities, a small movie theater (seats about 40 people) and a gift shop. Once we arrived, we purchased tickets to watch the 20 minute film about the family farm and the impact of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. It was such a great film, I purchased a copy for my science classroom back in the States. The entire family of the neighboring farm runs the shop and they are wonderfully friendly and quick to answer the many questions of the students in our group. A perfect stop on a tour of the area- especially if you were experiencing some foul weather. The space is tight, so if you are with a larger group (more then 25) it might be tough.

Having had an extra 11 days holiday tacked onto our Florida vacation in 2010 due to the volcano's ash cloud, my wife and I were really keen to see this visitor centre. The centre is essentially nothing more than a 20 minute film telling the story of the 2010 eruption from the point of view of a local farming family. But that shouldn't put you off visiting as the story is a fascinating one and the film is very well made. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

This little information centre sits at the bottom of the volcano that recently erupted and tells the story of the farm that you can see accross the road. There is a film to watch and a small gift shop. It puts everything in perspective and makes you feel very small on this large lovely planet that we live on. Also quite an horific reminder of everyone who complained that their planes couldnt take off due to the ash cloud....... when underneath - peoples lives, homes and business's were being decimated !

This museum tells the moving story of a local farming family through the eruption of 2010 - somehow managing to avoid coming across as corny, while doing an excellent job of putting across the local human context and the geological story.
