Experts' Choice Award Reykjavik Family park and Zoo
What the experts agree on
Reykjavik's quirky zoo focuses on domestic animals rather than exotic species, making it ideal for families. The Laugardalur park fills with locals on sunny days and pairs nicely with the nearby botanical garden and art museum.
“This childrens' park in Laugardalur gets packed with happy local families on sunny days.”

Frommer's "Reykjavík’s odd little zoo, which opened in 1990, is one of the few in the world that concentrates on domestic animals" Full review
Lonely Planet "Like a fun fair for kids, the Reykjavík Park and Zoo is not your typical zoological park with animals brought in from around the world. Rather, it stars the friendly critters you'll find..."
Lonely Planet "Right there as well are the Reykjavík Family Park & Zoo, a botanical garden and, on the neighborhood's southwestern edge, the Reykjavík Art Museum–Ásmundarsafn and sculpture garden"
