Very fun museum. We didn't have enough time for everything, I think you should reserve 2-2.5h to take in everything, 1.5h as a minimum. Most things are in french, but a couple films has english subtitles, and the interactive displays with information and quizes are in english too. Learnt a fair bit about volcanos but historically and geographically
Denise J — Google review
We were quite disappointed with our stay today. The building is simply worn out in many places, many digital elements were defective and unusable and, above all, I was shocked by the lack of internationality. This is really not worthy of such a renowned museum. Most of the non-digital elements have bilingual headings, but the texts themselves are only available to French-speaking visitors. As a result, the positive emotional component of a good museum was completely absent and frustration took its place. However, I don't want to hide the fact that the museum also has some positive aspects to offer. The basic design is very appealing, many good ideas have been realised and the diverse digital offerings are available in English. The theme is of course spectacular and therefore has a lot of potential. All in all, I hope that the museum finds its way back to a higher quality and offers the non-digital services in several languages.
Eddy K — Google review
Everything ONLY in French. Very open for turism.... Actually they disengaged us to enter first saying it takes 2h to visit the museum (so??? It is up to us how much time we spend visiting each item) and then saying few times that all is in French. 9 EUR a ticket... so after this introduction we have not entered.

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.
Bestel J — Google review
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.

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.

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.

(Translated by Google) The Pat'Jaune cabaret, the haunt of the group which perpetuates the history of the Yab des Hauts (small poor white farmers who left to farm in the interior of Reunion). Traditional wood-fired cuisine with chicken curry (great-grandmother's recipe) and zandouillette rougail, bredes, grain, rice and for the melting chocolate dessert 🍫 made by three cooks in the kitchen. Room service and entertainment provided by the group. The show takes place in a concert hall equipped with a mixture of sketches, anecdotes and songs drawn from their rich repertoire of eight albums. A unique show in Reunion, testimony to part of the mixed history of Reunion, a sort of cousin of the Cajuns of New Orleans or the Acadians of Canada enhanced with Reunion Creole. A place to discover and an experience to share with family (Original) Le cabaret de Pat'Jaune, le repaire du groupe qui perpétue l'histoire des Yab des Hauts (petits paysans blancs pauvres partis cultiver l'intérieur de La Réunion). Cuisine traditionnelle au feu de bois avec cari poulet (recette de l'arrière grand-mère) et rougail zandouillette, brèdes, grain, riz et pour le dessert fondant au chocolat 🍫 réalisés par trois cuistots en cuisine. Service en salle et animation assurée par le groupe. Le spectacle se déroule dans une salle de concert aménagée avec un mélange de sketches, d'anecdotes et de chansons puisées dans leur riche répertoire de huit albums. Un spectacle unique à La Réunion, témoignage d'une partie de l'histoire métissée de La Réunion, sorte de cousins des cajuns de la Nouvelle Orléans ou des acadiens du Canada agrémenté de créole réunionnais. Un lieu à découvrir et une expérience à partager en famille

(Translated by Google) So you really have to go to this place from start to finish, it's great, the friendly and festive atmosphere, the show is superb. A little something to criticize the punch offered is a little light and just in the appetizers but this place is worth the stars and a little more. Really on vacation or elsewhere go discover this place you will have a pleasant time ☺️ (Original) Alors il faut vraiment aller à cet endroit du début à la fin ç est super l ambiance conviviale et festive spectacle superbe. Un p'tit truc à reprocher le punch offert un p'tit peu léger et juste dans les amuses bouches mais cet endroit vaut les étoiles et un peu plus. Vraiment en vacances ou autres allez découvrir cet endroit vous allez passer un agréable moment ☺️

(Translated by Google) An authentic and delicious musical, artistic, humorous, and gastronomic experience, 100% local. Whether you're passing through, on vacation, or returning to the island, a participatory show in a sincerely convivial atmosphere, in the spirit of the Reunion Island welcome, this is THE unmissable event. A show that transcends clichés with great finesse, brilliant while remaining faithful to the spirit of the island's highlands, with a lighthearted spirit of gaiety accompanied by a high-level musical performance, and an invigorating comedy show. Congratulations to the Gonthier brothers for having managed to build, with such talent and patience, a troupe of artists with a taste for work so well done, and to establish a lasting, endearing and moving venue. (Original) Un authentique et délicieux moment musical artistique, humoristique et gastronomique 100% local. Si vous êtes de passage, en vacances, de retour sur l'ile, un spectacle participatif dans une sincère convivialité, dans l'esprit de l'accueil réunionnais, c'est ici LE RDV incontournable. Un spectacle qui transcende les lieux communs avec beaucoup de finesse, brillant tout en demeurant fidèle à l'esprit des hauts de l'ile dans l'esprit léger de la gaieté accompagnée d'une interprétation musicale de haut niveau, et un spectacle humoristique vivifiant. Bravo aux fréres Gonthier pour avoir su construire avec autant de talents et avec patience, une troupe d'artistes ayant le goût du travail si bien fait, installer dans la durée, un lieu aussi attachant qu'émouvant.

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant experience at Bugg's Buggy! We had a great time with friends on a nature tour, in the heart of a park of more than 100 hectares. The buggies, new Polaris RZRs in excellent condition, made the adventure even more exciting. Special mention to Miloud, our guide, whose sympathy and professionalism perfectly framed the 2-hour outing. An activity not to be missed for lovers of thrills and wide open spaces! (Original) Une expérience fort agréable chez Bugg's Buggy ! Nous avons passé un très bon moment entre amis sur un circuit en pleine nature, au cœur d'un parc de plus de 100 hectares.

Mention spéciale à Miloud, notre guide, dont la sympathie et le professionnalisme ont parfaitement encadré la sortie de 2 heures. Une activité à ne pas manquer pour les amateurs de sensations fortes et de grands espaces !

(Translated by Google) Great discovery of driving a buggy through an entirely dedicated area, between hill reservoirs and sheep. Mastery of technical passages with a guide for 2 hours. A great activity, including for teenagers who were able to drive the budget in complete safety.
