Reykjavik with Kids: 17 Best Things To Do in Reykjavik, Iceland

Adventurous families can visit a glacier, explore an ice cave, walk on a black-sand beach, or hike up a volcano.

There are so many reasons to add Reykjavik, Iceland to your family's travel bucket list. Iceland is the land of fire and ice. From gazing at volcanos and hiking up glaciers to soaking in geothermal pools, the country has something for everyone.

Visiting Iceland during winter is essential if you want to see the famed Northern Lights. However, experiencing Iceland in the summer—when the days are long, the Midnight Sun shines brightly, and temperatures are warmer—is also fantastic with kids.

Iceland’s capital city, Reykjavik, is a great place to make your home base. However, we strongly recommend heading to the South of Iceland for a few nights to immerse yourself in Iceland’s gorgeous natural beauty.

Here are 17 top things to do in and near Reykjavik, Iceland with kids, including family-friendly Reykjavik hotels and foods to try. Our Europe Travel Guide details more great European cities to visit with kids, like London and Paris.
