It was free for the Children’s festival and we enjoyed it big time! A lot of old fashioned toys for the little ones and a really nice outdoor area.

Beautiful turf houses, close by the mainroad, with a huge parking. Nice view, interesting place. I really like it

It's interesting. It's a museum, and if that's your thing, it'd be worth your while. It's nice though that it's outside and let's you get some fresh air.

We had a wonderful time visiting this amazing museum! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, interesting and charmingly proud of her country. Her descriptions of the community and the buildings brought the people who had inhabited them to life. Although the tour was just over an hour, we were there for 3 hours and could have stayed much longer exploring on our own.

This outdoor museum reflects the story of Reykjavik - perfect for both adults and children - family friendly. Great coffee and waffles.
Lot to see and do

This place was really great. I really recommend but please take into consideration that you will need at least 3 hours to see all.

Nice place. Im givin it 3 stars because in my opinion the sightening of the museum should be more interaktive. The cottages are beautiful but it would be easier for tourist to get at least informations about the villiage in english . We were there for sth about an 1,5 hours and in the end i was bored .

Brilliant museum, authentic and interesting. The turf houses were great, as was the 20th century exhibition

Museum is not the right word! It's not stuffy at all. It's a hands on experience that lets you feel how the inhabitants of Reykjavik lived in the early 19th century.

Very cute museum built around the more recent history of Reykjavik. Do take the staff-run tour. The workers seem to really enjoy their jobs and want to tell you all about the buildings and history. The sheep are adorable and will come to the fence for pets and love. Very glad I stopped here.

This is a wonderful place to get a feel for Icelandic History and culture. If you can get a guided tour, do so. It is well worth it. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable.

Great open air museum with real old buildings, some of which originally stood there, others which were relocated there. The employees are all dressed in historic clothing an will answer your questions. There are also a few animals like sheep and horses and an interactive toy exhibition for kids. You can buy candy at an old grocer's store (that does accept modern credit cards) and eat some cake at the café as well.

Amaizing experience! It's a whole village, not just a"museum"
Totally worth the visit and the entrance fee. Go there!

Nice views, pretty houses (the real one which we see in video with green tops are less 2,3 ) but even others are good. Relief and relax time. If you are having already experience Blue lagoon, golden circle and south coast then do visit, but may no be a good idea to come here and miss out something out of them

This is a good place for people interested in history. Old houses and old household items. Nice place for families.

Beautiful open air museum, the guide was so passionate about it that it really made the experience extraordinary! The tour in the winter is usually an hour long but we had so many questions that it lasted 2 hours. It was only on Mondays at 1pm. The cab ride from the downtown area is about $28 USD, on our way back they called in a 6 seater van and we shared the ride with other visitors, it ended up being around $7 USD per person. A couple said they took the bus there and they had trouble finding it. Unmissable!

Our guided tour was amazing. Wish we were here in the summer when more of the buildings are open, but still very glad that we stopped here.

Great museum. It's free and you get to see how the islandic people lived in the old days. No tour and no explanation tho.

Fascinating museum, didn't realise just how much there was. Guide could not have been anymore helpful or knowledgeable. Really recommend a visit

Definitely worth a visit. It is amazing how well kept and original the exhibits are. It's remarkable to see how well made and well designed the old houses were. They are small but have many rooms and amenities. It is definitely worth a visit just to see the houses alone. Children will also have fun here playing with old outdoor toys and seeing farm animals. It is a MUST SEE!
