Reykjavík - a destination for children post pandemic according to USA Today Travel
For a small island, Iceland packs more than its share of fun vacation activities. Start in the capital of Reykjavik, where the sun barely sets between mid-May and mid-August and the temperatures never get too hot or too cold in the summer months.
You’ve probably heard of the Blue Lagoon and its steaming geothermal waters, but one of the trendiest things to do with older kids is the Ritual at Sky Lagoon. This immersive geothermal experience is an upscale take on the geothermal spa experience, blending warm water, cold water, warm steam and dry heat with fresh air in an unforgettable experience that even the sulkiest teenagers will enjoy.
Other fun places to visit with kids include Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur, the most famous hot dog stand in the country; Omnom Chocolate Ice Cream Shop, where you can enjoy a Nutty Wolf, arguably the greatest ice cream concoction on Earth; and Perlan, an innovative exploratorium with the world’s first indoor ice cave and a simulated Northern Lights experience.
