One of the best exhibitions in Reykjavik is Whales of Iceland. This Reykjavik whale exhibition focuses on the whale species that are native to the North Atlantic and roam the seas around Iceland. The cool thing about the whale exhibition is that the whale replicas are shown in their real-life size. So you can really see the incredible size of these amazing creatures. I am delighted to announce that Special Tours offers a 10% discount on the admission to the Whales of Iceland Exhibition to my readers. Furthermore, you can get a 10% discount off the combination tour “Whale Watching & Whales of Iceland Exhibition” To claim a discount off the entrance fee for Whales of Iceland or the combo tour, simply sign up for the Stuck in Iceland newsletter.
Perfect for families and kids
Whales of Iceland is probably one of the best destinations in Reykjavik for families and kids. Just like the Icelandic Lava Show in Vík, and Perlan, the Whales of Iceland exhibition does a fantastic job of combining education and fun. Add this to the list of family-friendly things to do in Iceland.
The incredible whales on display
In any case, I am pretty sure you will feel like I did when I first saw the exhibition. I had no real concept of the size of the whales. So I felt kind of small right next to the massive replicas of a Blue whale, Right whale, and Sperm whale!
The exhibition has replicas of whale skeletons, interesting information about the whales’ species shown, VR goggles, and interactive kiosks. So if you love whales as I do, this exhibition is for you.
My personal affinity for the exhibition
I was on the board of Whale of Iceland so I do have a lot of affinity for this exhibition. I know about the incredible work that has been put into the crafting of the exhibition. As a board member, I had a (very small) part in expanding and updating it from its original conception. I have no relation to the exhibition now.
