[quote=Anonymous]I would not do this. As PPs have said, there's not much about Iceland that would interest little kids -- the fun things to do are definitely more adult-oriented (or at least older-kid oriented.) I went in winter, and there was ~4 hours of daylight. Don't underestimate this.

The main things to do in Reykjavik in the winter, from what we saw, are sitting in bars, eating, and shopping, none of which are particularly kid-friendly. The main tourist attraction, Hallgrimskirkja, is a church. There are also a few museums, but again nothing especially kid-friendly (we went to the penis museum and an art museum.) The really fun stuff is primarily geared towards adults. Northern lights tours go from 8 or 9 PM to well past midnight, so you'll either have to drag cranky/sleepy kids along, or one of you will have to miss it. Hot springs/spas are another fun thing to do, but again inappropriate for kids, so one of you will probably have to skip it. Glacier tours and the Golden Circle are fun and really beautiful, but a 3-year old and 5-year old probably won't be allowed on the interactive tours.

If you subscribe to a cheap flights website (Scott's Cheap Flights, Airfare Spot, etc.), you can frequently find tickets to Europe that are within the range of flights to Iceland. I would recommend somewhere like Barcelona (I've seen tickets for around $400 RT) instead, especially at that time of year.[/quote]
