  After being a few days in Reunion it was great to learn about how all of the stunning and varied landscapes of the island were created by volcanic activity. The museum has an app for audio guide which works really well (I loved that you could switch off the screen and let it play like a music app). It was intuitive on which audio corresponded to which panel thanks to pictures in the app. The audio guide was very captivating and made in the form of a conversation rather then normal lecture. Great interactivity and graphics. Pretty fun also the experience of the 4D movie. It definitely made my visit of Reunion special!

  This place was incredibly informative and I learned so much about the volcanos and history of the island. I would definitely recommend going here because you learn so much about reunion island and its history and about the nature and types of volcanoes. The four d cinema had my cousin laughing so hard it was funny. The cappuccino in the machine was good too. It was a little bit dated and was in need of some physical repairs but otherwise I enjoyed it very much.

  Very interesting and easy way to learn about volcanoes 🌋, interactive museum, kids also can participate. 4D cinema show for kids over 5 year's old. Don't forget the souvenir shop for nice local products.

  Interactive, interesting, professional. All in French at the door and staff there not helpful if you don't speak French. For instance: we tried to access the translate/guide app but found it impossible. Were told the information video is only available in French, went upstairs where a total sweety said that it is in fact available in English, left her post to go downstairs and organise it for us. Wish the rest of the staff were as helpful. The quick 4D video was also a blast. Even if you are only a little bit interested in volcanos, go to Volcano House, it's very informative. And let's face it, volcanos are what Reunion is about.

  Very nice demonstration and explication, as good and interactive for both adults and children. The 4D cinema brings a nice touch at the end of the visit and the boutique has also a nice collection of items, books and hiking gears. The entrance offers to see the work of local artists. We did it on the way back from the volcano, which I believe is better due to either the high sun or the rain. Loads of restaurants and snack places around too. Takes about 1h to complete, more if you read everything in details.
