I am not a fan of zoos and this zoo was tiny and a bit sad (two seals in a small enclosure, and a few farm animals, though the falcon was amazing). However, the park on the whole is great. The rides in the park were fun for the children, though the queues were quite long. The botanical garden is beautiful. The play area was nice. Definitely a good place to spend a few hours.

This was a beautiful park-lots of flowers and a wall with moving water plus lovely landscaped grounds. There is a nice cafe onsite to get a meal, drink, or coffee. It truly was a gorgeous setting. The zoo is next door and my husband didn't want to go to the zoo, so he spent a few happy hours here taking photographs. And it's free to walk around!

Beautiful park- people are working on it still as of May 2022 but there are beautiful yellow flowers everywhere. 100% worth a walk through. There is art throughout the park- mainly statues of women. Beautiful with lots of walking and biking trails!

We visited Feb 14th 2023 . As it was in winter time, the botanical gardens were not in flower but I am certain it would have been really beautiful had we visited in the summer time.
We visited the farm there and met one of the farm cats, Luna, who loved a fuss and followed us round for quite a while. The farm itself consisted of a seal, cows and pigs, Icelandic horses, ducks etc. The restaurant was closed unfortunately which kind of put a downer on our visit as we had planned to spend a good few hours there but as there was no food, we had to leave sooner . There were also several rides which I think may have been seasonal as they were not in operation. We visited the skating rink which my son enjoyed , however the skates had seen better days and some of the clips didnt fasten so his feet hurt .

Alkthghou we came in Febraury, everythiong was clearly labelled. They hjave an Iceland turf house we we found very exciting. Close to the domestic animal zoo if the kids want to look at animals not plants.

A good place to visit with young children. Not too far off main bus route though could be better signposted from bus stops. Only small, probably more to do there in the sprinv/summer but we enjoyed our visit.

Laugardalur is a wonderful park in the center of Reykjavík. It has lots of colourful flowers and plants and trees. Lots of ducks stay in the small lake. There are also remains of old Reykjavík there, where the women took the dirty laundry to clean them - which is where Laugardalur got its name from, Laugar comes from Þvottalaugar which means laundromat.

This is an enjoyable area to spend some time when you need a break. There is a parking lot with free parking, and the gardens are very nice and peaceful. They are next to the "zoo" and to a small amusement park. Great place for kids to run around!

Every time I go to Iceland for vacation (6 times and counting), this park, specifically its outdoor olympic size swimming pool, becomes one of my main reasons to return. The ootdoor pool is huge and accessable (indoor one is frequently used for training). Dipping, hanging and/or lying around the smaller pools or the hot pods around the pool is an ethearal experience..Nothing can beat the feeling of relaxation, calming and resting in the warm/hot waters, while it is cold, rainy or snowing around you..One MUST try the outdoor pool experience in Iceland..One of the many many many original things this country has to offer...

At first we were unsure as to procedures and what to expect from the advertised 'Heated Pools' information that we had seen and read. However, once we entered the 50 meter pool the anxiousness went away. We were, however, overcome by what else was on offer. A Multitude of 'Hot Pools' Ranging from a huge play pool with an attached chute and play area to a series of temperature controlled 'tubs' set at 38, 42 and 44 degrees Celsius. The farthest hot tub is the only one with sea water heated to 38 C.
If you visit Iceland then this is a MUST DO activity. The procedure of showering naked last a mere few seconds before complete relaxation can be enjoyed as you bathe in the tubs.
Entrance is just over £3. You can hire a towel and costumes for an extra charge. Do it once. It is worth it!

Is the hot dog stand outside the Aquatic Center a branch of the one downtown? It looked similar, and the hot dogs were delicious.
Written August 13, 2016
I think it's the same. Although I never see a difference but they should taste somewhat the same:)
