Exhibition Center in the power plant - Download the audio guide using the WR code found at the front desk. Or you can get the ON Geothermal Exhibit app. There is so much info that you will miss if you don’t use the audio guide.

Very Interesting - My husband has wanted to see this for many years. So we did a self drive on Golden circle in order to stop here. It was very informative & interesting. Highly recommend. We learned that this is a process in order to get the power & heating. More complicated than I had imagined. Iceland does a great job of using their natural resources.

Very informative.... - Very informative. Recommend getting the headsets-no extra cost- as you will get more detailed information than the displays alone. Took us about an hour to do.

Short but sweet! - We went to the Geothermal Exhibition at Hellisheidi Power Plant at the end of April. It's really easy to get to and there is loads of parking. The exhibit itself has a great mix of geology and engineering and the information is communicated at an effective level for the average tourist and the seasoned professional! The infographics and displays are very cleverly put together and the whole thing doesn't take too long to get round so you don't get over saturated. The staff were very welcoming, extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. If you are passing, definitely give it a visit!

Interesting Though Rather Technical - Stopped in to visit a working geothermal facility. They offered a 15 minute description of plant operations and the history of geothermal in Iceland. The talk was quite technical so my absorption was limited. Still interesting. There are some good exhibits as well.

Infomercial - Paid admission for a public relations infomercial. While classed as a museum there are few artifacts. Mostly video projections of company staff. Example: much is made of the deep well that was drilled. How deep? Good luck finding out. It's mentioned verbally in the video. Bdid they hit their target 450 deg C goal? No idea. Please review what kids will actually learn before loading a bus to here. No experiential displays and what is presented is way abone a 12 years knowledge or interest.
