Christmas Valley in Laugardalur

Longer opening hours during Advent

Christmas lights have been installed all over the park and quite a few are being added, so now it's like an adventure to walk around the park at dusk and visit the animals and the Christmas cat himself. The outdoor grills will be open for those who want to grill dinner outside in the light, and everyone is invited to the carousel during the evening openings in December.

Evening openings will take place in December, as in previous years, with the park staying open until 8 p.m. from Friday to Sunday, beginning 29 November and running through to Christmas. Visitors are warmly invited to enjoy the Christmas-light-adorned Family and Animal Park from 17:00 – 20:00 on these evenings. At all other times, standard opening hours apply – every day from 10:00 to 17:00  –  along with the regular entrance fee.

In Laugardalur Christmas Valley, you can find one of the 14 Christmas creatures, more on that here 

The Botanical Garden

It is wonderful to have a walk on a fresh winter day in the botanical garden and end up with hot cocoa in Café Flóra. Note that the opening hours in winter are from 10 -15

Ásmundarsafn

Check out the exhibition After the Blizzard by Unndór Egill Jónsson at Ásmundarsafn, where he exhibits his work in a conversation with the work of Ásmundur Sveinsson.
