Grýla is Iceland´s most famous troll woman and the 13 Icelandic Christmas lads are her sons. Grýla will be living in the Troll Cave in the Museum from the 17th of November until the 6th of January.

It is safe to say that this museum cannot be compared to anything else in Iceland. Museum guests will walk into a world of the Icelandic elves and hidden people and get a glimpse of their life.
|
Museum guests will also go through a large troll cave and get to see the dwelling place of the Icelandic trolls with their own eyes.

However, many will probably find the highlight to be a visit into a 200 square meters space that will be maintained at below zero temperatures, -5° C to -10° C. A true winter world will be found there, with clumps of ice from Vatnajökull glacier, ice walls and an ice bar in one corner. The main feature of the winter world, though, will undoubtedly be the Northern Lights which will be shown in all their glory. |
Icelandic Wonders operates two souvenir shops related to the centre. One of them is located in the centre itself and the other one is located in downtown Reykjavik, at Hafnarstræti 4. In the shops you will find a good range of Icelandic handmade goods, books and things associated to elves, trolls, ghosts and Northern Lights. Part of the goods are now available  online.

This evening tour includes a visit to the popular Ghost Center and the Icelandic Wonders Centre, as well as an adventure search for the Northern Lights.
