A must-visit gem in Wales! Perfect for families and absolutely wonderful for kids – there’s so much to explore and enjoy. The highlight for me was the breathtaking waterfall hidden inside the cave. It felt almost magical, like stepping into another world. The sound of the rushing water, the cool cave air, and the stunning natural beauty made it an unforgettable experience. Truly one of those places that stays with you long after you leave.
Really enjoyable day. Boy my boys enjoyed the caves, dinosaurs and farm. They especially liked the water panning which was free. Lots to do and see and dog friendly (apart from the farm park) Be aware though that in places they walk around the area is very steep, both up and down although pathways are very safe. Views from the top were amazing. The little train from the car park to the main entrance was a great start to the visit. Would definitely recommend.
Overall this was great because of the beautiful setting, animals, and Cathedral Cave especially. *Not a suitable place for anyone with mobility issues!* The dinosaurs and gimmicky bits were quite tired and dated but didn't affect the overall experience. We spent a couple of hours here so it isn't quite as huge or a full day out as it looks online. Maybe if you have kids and do ALL the activities you might get a full day out. Dan Yr and Cathedral Cave are quite grand but the bone cave was tiny so we were in there about 5 minutes even when we listened to the audio in there. Takes longer to walk to it and back, it was the size of a large room. That specific cave is not worth it for those with limited mobility issues and it is not easy to walk to it bent over for some time as it's so low! The train running from the farm and shire horses to the main entrance and back is a brilliant addition. It's free too (can donate for air ambulance in cash boxes if you like). Runs every 5 mins and a nice view of the stones from it. No toilets at farm park but easy to hop on train back up to loos. Very very steep hills to walk up to 2 of the caves so you need to be relatively fit.
Booked here as looked good. Well definitely worth the money. The history of the caves was good, only thing couldn't hear the story properly. Came out and saw the dinosaurs. There is alot to see then walk up into the iron age village and into cathedral caves. The whole experience was brilliant. On the paths is dinosaurs some moving which was fun. There is 350 dinosaurs in total. We were there for 2 hours and would still go again. So much to see and is a good day out for all ages. There is a shire horse and activity park, we didn't go down there but only because was raining. There is accommodation which is through hoseseason. Also a campsite. Cafe is good and food good, reasonably priced. Tickets for the showcaves is worth it. Looking forward to going again. Plenty of parking.
All 3 Caves were amazing specially Cathedral Cave which had stunning views, much broader and had beautiful waterfalls in it. The Jurassic Park was also well managed and dedicated to Morgan Bros who founded those caves and all the fossils that were discovered in it. The Farm is also well managed and mostly animals are roaming free which was very nice as an experience for our kids and it’s not too crowded which makes it more safe from animals.
Very good day out for the whole family! Just make sure to wear suitable footwear as you will walk a fair distance. The children loved walking through the caves, throughout the caves are small displays and speakers telling a story so its educational, i founs this very interesting. And to finish the day off you get to walk round a huge field with a number of different animals casually walking round with you letting you pet them. I would highly recommend for all ages and will definitely visit in the future! 10/10
We had a great few hours here - visited for the caves and knew there were 'a few' dinosaur models around but hadn't realised quite as many dinosaurs. It's half caves, half dinosaurs but also a farm area with lots of animals and indoor and outdoor play areas too. So loads to keep the kids entertained. The caves were amazing too - 3 to visit in total, the first one was quite long and really interesting, the second one was huge, really impressive with a very pretty waterfall inside, and the third one wasn't so special but a great scenic viewing platform on the walk up to it. We didn't eat as had already taken sandwiches in but the cafe looked good and very reasonable, lots of lunch options.
There’s so much to see! From the incredible caves, to the almost endless number of dinosaurs, and all the animals at the bottom of the hill many of whom are friendly enough that you can pet them! The cafe was bustling and well organised with a buzzer system, they offered vegan nuggets and chips and vegan tart (chocolate or lemon).

Visited the farmers market here today which was awesome! Such a great selection of locally produced food, drinks and treats. Had a walk around the lake watching the ducklings 😍 such a beautiful, peaceful place 🩷
I visited Craig-y-Nos Castle Country Park recently and, while the maps were very useful and the routes looked appealing, I left feeling disappointed. I was saddened to see so many trees cut down and certain routes closed off. Parts of the park were beautiful, the lake, the original pavilion, and the historical information were all highlights, but for me, that was where the experience ended. I can imagine it being a lovely spot for a picnic in good weather, but I won’t be returning until the aftermath of the tree felling has been addressed. It was quite sad to see.
Lovely large car-park with plenty of spaces but is in a slope. As you enter the car-park, there are toilets, a cafe and shop to the left. Parking charges are cheap compared to others(see photos). There is a large pond to the left of car-park with seats. The pond has Mallards, Canadian geese and moorhens at time of our visit (with chicks). The Park landscape has changed since the last Winter storm. Over one hundred trees have fallen due to the very high wind! I only wish the standing trunks could be carved into bears etc as the many walks need a little more interest as can be boring. Well worth a visit!
Absolutely love it here brought my baby niece up she had so much even thou it rained we made the most of it had so much fun
Such a magical place ❤️ stunning views and nature, plenty of picnic tables and benches, dog friendly, lakes and streams, kids had fun climbing trees and feeding ducks, nice little café and art/craft shop. Free entry and pay-at-meter parking (2£ for 2h). Surely will be back some day ✨
I recently wrote about Craig Y Nos for Charge Happy. I was thrilled to see it loved up to the recommendation. There are lots of EV chargers, a lovely little cafe that does great coffee, it’s very dog friendly, and most of the paths are accessible. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and want an easy walk.
A small country park. It is well maintained. Paid for parking but relatively cheap. You only need 2 hours here to go round the park and stop at the cafe. If you were using the park as a starting point for a walk you may want longer.
It's a wonderful place to visit, meticulously maintained, with breathtaking scenery. It's a must-see location for families, and it's even dog-friendly. The staff were exceptional, and the restrooms were well-kept. My children loved the staff.
