The Ghost Center

Frommer's Staff

Visitors here don headphones, and for 40 expensive minutes proceed from one creepy installation to the next listening to traditional Icelandic ghost stories. The props are decent, if low-budget. (The smoke machine produces an eggy sulfur smell, which somehow ruins the illusion.) Not all the stories will resonate with non-Icelanders, and you'll spend lots of time standing in place; but the tour may still produce a few goose bumps. The Ghost Center is not recommended for children ages 12 and under.
