Christmas Valley in Laugardalur

Longer opening hours during Advent

Christmas lights have been installed all over the park and quite a few are being added, so now it's like an adventure to walk around the park at dusk and visit the animals and the Christmas cat himself. The outdoor grills will be open for those who want to grill dinner outside in the light, and everyone is invited to the carousel during the evening openings in December.

Evening openings will be in December, as in previous years, but will be open until 8 pm Friday to Sunday from December 1st to Christmas. The project Christmasland in Laugardalur Valley was voted in this year's district elections, and therefore "Hverfið Mitt" invites everyone to visit the Christmas light-decorated Family and Animal Park from 17 – 20 Friday to Sunday from December 1 to Christmas. Standard opening hours are otherwise every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and then the standard entrance fee applies.

In Laugardalur Christmas Valley you can find one of the 14 Christmas creatures, more on that here 

The Botanical garden

It is wonderful to have a walk on a fresh winter day in the botanical garden and end up with hot cocoa in Café Flóra. Note that the opening hours in winter are from 10 -15

Ásmundarsafn

Check out the exhibition After the Blizzard by Unndór Egill Jónsson at Ásmundarsafn, where he exhibits his work in a conversation with the work of Ásmundur Sveinsson. Sculptors from different periods meet in dialogue that offers new insight into Ásmundur’s heritage and introduces new works by a contemporary artist to the viewers.

The museum is open every day from 13-17
