Allow two hours to wander at your own pace, and note that opening hours and guided tours vary by season. In summer, costumed staff demonstrate crafts and farm tasks, and the café serves traditional pastries. Because most of the visit is outdoors, wear weatherproof clothing, and children usually enjoy the animals and open space.
The name means "valley of the hot springs", because natural hot water bubbled out of the ground here. Reykjavík's women once carried their laundry to the springs to wash it, and the site was an important part of daily life until the early 20th century. Today the valley is the city's main sports and leisure district.
Plan two to three hours if you want to see the exhibits as well as the observation deck. Booking tickets in advance is wise in summer. Afterwards, the woodland trails on Öskjuhlíð hill are great for a short walk, and Nauthólsvík geothermal beach is just a few minutes away. In winter, wear warm layers for the ice cave.
