The building is located on Reykjavik’s highest hill in Oskjuhlid. It consists of a vast glass dome resting on top of six district water heating tanks. Four of them are still in use, one hosts a real Ice cave, and one has been turned into a first-class planetarium.

The main attractions are a walkthrough real indoor Ice cave, a Northern Lights Show in the Planetarium, and a Lava film, Latrabjarg Cliff - a ten-meter-high replica of one of Europe‘s biggest seabird cliffs with lifelike birds.

On the 4th floor, you will find a gift store with a good selection of Icelandic designs, Perlans Ice Cream Parlour, with its homemade Ice cream. You can also access the 360°observation deck with views all over the city and its surroundings—nearby mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.

On the 5th floor, right under the glass dome, you´ll find Perlans restaurant and Café. The view from there is quite spectacular, as the floor revolves, it constantly changes as you sit there.
