Llandudno Pier is a stunning Victorian structure that stretches over 700m above sea level, making it one of the longest and most exquisite piers in Wales and the entire United Kingdom. This Grade II listed pier offers a delightful array of seaside attractions, shops, and food stalls, including a charming bar at its end. Visitors can indulge in delicious treats while enjoying captivating views of the Irish Sea.
Llandudno Pier is a quintessential and wonderful seaside destination in beautiful North Wales. The panoramic views from the pier are stunning in every direction. I visited on a typically British day—windy and wet—yet I still thoroughly enjoyed every moment. There's a certain charm in braving the elements here, and it's a testament to the pier's appeal that it remains enjoyable regardless of the weather.

The pier was unfortunately closed when we visited, and honestly, it looked a bit worse for wear—definitely in need of some TLC. That said, it still has a certain charm, and we ended up getting some really great photos with the moody clouds and seaside backdrop. You can see how iconic it used to be, and hopefully will be again. Even though we couldn’t walk it, the surrounding promenade and views still made it a worthwhile stop.

Lovely traditional pier. In better condition than many piers and has all the stalls still in place. Tried the lovely prawns and chips in the past all have been great. Used to call it death pier with all benches and dead flowers. Didn't like that too much seemed a little depressing. Its cleaned this up a little removing dead flowers meaning a nicer experience. The end of the pier is great with bar and views to die for.
Gary A — Google review
It’s a typical pier experience, with arcade games, Ferris wheel, rides, and fried foods. And of course an abundance of seagulls. It still has all the summer beach energy one comes to look for at the pier. Well connected to the promenade and neighbouring beach. Not a lot of places to sit in the pier itself - more for walking.

me and my friend we went with a full bus of so many people which includes our family , family friends and children and some unknown persons as well , bcoz its a charity trip for gaza and that trip help them to provide important stuff. so about the trip i can say it was so wonderful, so enjoyable with so much fun , the weather was perfect , the beach vibe is perfect and off-course the food was perfect. so i can say the overall trip was perfect.❤️🤗

Tim P — Google review
Little bit disappointed by the offerings of entertainment on the pier it felt like it could have had more shops and more things to do along the way to the end. Although the bar and cafe at the were well with a trip to. The views from the pier were stunning and I enjoyed sitting outside with a drink watching the ships and windmills. More shops along the peri would be much better.
Y D — Google review
What a super pier. Not all the rides were open (we were there early June) though you do get a sense of the potential. Your normal assortment of expected shops (food and drink) though also some more interesting (?) shops (bath bombs). The pier is quite long and you to get expansive views of the Promenade and a much better look at the offshore wind farm. We had a great time.

Great Orme Mines, discovered in 1987, are the world's largest prehistoric copper mines dating back to the Bronze Age, around 4,000 years ago. The site offers a unique insight into ancient Britain and its advanced society long before Roman invasion. With over 5 miles of tunnels to explore using only primitive tools like stones and bones, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of this historical era. The mine features a visitor center and self-guided tunnel tours for an immersive experience.
Great place to visit near halfway station on great omre tramway. Excellent informative friendly staff. Go around visitor centre pick read history about mine and pick up your hard hat. Then venture into bronze age mine entrance go down 35 steps. Throughout tour a number of boards with information about the mine and working conditions. Really unique tour well worth visiting. Able to walk around outdoor area of mine. Gift shop has lots of unique rocks etc.

A fantastic experience. The mines are awesome, so much history! Prehistory really! Bronze age people living in Britain centuries before the Romans. And the whole thing is being run by lovely people. Highly recommended.

We visited with our 7 year old son and we all enjoyed it. The staff are fantastic, knowledgeable, and super enthusiastic. The mines have been made accessible for walking but be ready to crouch at a handful of points! Such an important discovery that made my jaw drop open upon reaching the largest part of the mine. Truly incredible to walk in the footsteps of humans from 4,000 years ago! My son was given a fun questionnaire to complete along the walk. At the end he recieved a little gift for completing it. I really loved this and so did he! There are videos on repeat at certain points and they are very clear and easy to understand. You can see how much care has been put into this. The gift shop and 2nd hand book shop is also excellent. There is a mixture of cheaper and more expensive gifts. The drive up and down is rather steep and narrow at points but no problem if you're used to driving on hills. We arrived early and the car park was easy to use. There is also a tram and cable car going up the hill / mountain so they are great options too.
Lee P — Google review
This place is a great attraction, the whole experience was very enjoyable. We visited on a Sunday mid September and it wasn’t overly busy. The staff were really nice, friendly and talkative. The layout from the car park, shop/entrance to the mines is well laid out. When you go into the attraction you get a hard hat and can take your time going through the experience, roughly 40 minutes to an hour but there is no rush. There is lots of history and information about the history of the mines and people that worked there and it that was fascinating to read, there is a short video presentation you can choose to watch which gave more insight into the history. You get to walk round the open quarry site and venture into the mines. It’s a self guided tour/walk and as others have stated and I’ll confirm it is narrow with low ceilings in places, this adds to the experience in a good way (unless you’re claustrophobic). There is lighting in the mine which highlights the natural features, but I would advise a good torch to see into the dark areas not lit, not necessary but again this added to our experience in a good way.
Robbie — Google review
Thought I mightn't be allowed in as t, shorts, sandals but self guided tour so nice to go at your own pace. Quite busy but space to pass families (great kids shouting echo!) a concrete floors, metal steps and railings whilst looking around. Activity sheet for kids, drinks van, shop, lovely interesting few hours. All CCTV, lights also panic buttons, is narrow but I wore my rucksack no issues, mums with babies in there too. Have fun! I bought tickets as walking past

Very interesting and unique bronze age mine. Not as narrow as it appears, more than wide enough for bigger people. Not suitable for wheelchair or mobility challenged. Good gift shop. Friendly and welcoming staff. A must see.
Christopher J — Google review
Really good fun for me and my youngest son! Was bricking it a bit going into the tunnel but it was way worth it glad I persevered and kept going! Not that I could have turned back! Great for the kids and adults! Good fun! 👍 Will say it didn't take long to go around! But the weather was shocking. Didn't book in advance but I don't see why I wouldn't in future despite the shocking weather it was busy!

Great Orme is a stunning limestone headland in Llandudno, offering picturesque vistas of the sea and Wales, including the Isle of Man and Snowdonia National Park. It's a 350-million-year-old country park with miles of paths to explore, an ancient mine, and wild nature with Kashmir goats. Visitors can reach the top via cable car or tramway and enjoy the Old Mines. The area also features a ski and snowboard center for winter sports enthusiasts.
This is a great place to go and spend 2 - 3 hours just roaming around and admiring the natural beauty of the place. We were in Wales on a driving trip and drove up to the summit in our own car. It's an easy drive up and back and there is plenty of parking space available at the summit. You can walk around the place and get a great 270 degree view of the bay. Also, you can see a very large windmills farm in the sea!

Stunning location with amazing views in all directions. Well worth the bike to the top (3/4 to the top really) but, if you get the choice, take the tram. Much easier on the legs and lungs. Would highly recommend this as part of your essential North Wales experience.
JoeD21 — Google review
I went here three times in 2 days 😄 I went up walking early in the morning, drove with a car, and via Orme tramway. They offered different experience and has its own charm but I enjoyed them all! The day I went there at afternoon was extremely windy so better prepared with a windbreaker. Overall, the scenery from the top of Orme was wonderful. From the top you can explore different spots or even only sitting enjoying the day.
Nisa K — Google review
The mine tours are quite pricy but well worth it as it's self guided so you can make your way around at your own pace. There's a tram up to the mine from the town so it's wise to park in the town and take the tram up the hill if you don't mind paying. There are great views at the top of the hill and nice areas to eat or walk at the top. I've been twice and would go again if I was in the area.

At height, but very windy. Fantastic view of sea and city. Can easily drive upto hill. Take care of kids and lite weight stuff. Take care specially while opening and closing car doors, can shut with brutal force due to high wind.

Nestled on the picturesque slopes of the Great Orme in Llandudno, Happy Valley Botanical Gardens is a delightful retreat that celebrates nature's beauty. Originally gifted to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, this enchanting garden is a haven for wildlife and plant enthusiasts alike. Visitors can enjoy leisurely family walks along paved pathways that meander through lush greenery, exotic plants, and tranquil ponds.
Well kept gardens where you will find some of the characters from the Alice in Wonderland trail. There are benches overlooking the sea and the pier. It's on a slope and a steady climb will bring you to some water features and rock gardens. There is also a stone circle (mini stonehenge). It's a beautiful place to visit.

It’s a beautiful place for a peaceful walk and a relaxing picnic. The gardens are well kept with plenty of benches where you can sit and enjoy the sea view and the surrounding hills. There’s a small café where many people try the real Welsh ice cream, though I personally didn’t find the taste as good as other ice creams I’ve had. From the gardens, you can also spot the old cable car route, which is now closed, adding a touch of history to the area. It’s a calm escape from the busy pier, with lovely photo opportunities all around.

Conwy Castle is a remarkably well-preserved 13th-century fortress located in an estuary setting. Built by King Edward between 1283 and 1287, it boasts scenic battlement views and royal apartments that are the most intact in Wales. The castle features a high curtain wall, eight magnificent towers, and spiral staircases within the towers that visitors can climb.
We visited Conwy Castle on a Sunday in autumn, and it was such a wonderful experience! I’m not sure how it looks in other seasons, but in late October and early November, the view from the top of the castle is absolutely breathtaking. The trees around the town are painted in so many beautiful autumn colours — it’s truly a spectacular sight from above! The castle itself is very well preserved and tidy. We climbed up one of the towers with our 10-year-old son — and it was a big moment for him because he’s afraid of heights. It actually turned into a great way for him to face his fear! If you visit with kids, I’d recommend being extra careful when going up the stone stairs and pathways — they’re uneven and can be a bit tricky. But it’s definitely worth it. We had such a lovely and memorable weekend. The ticket line was short, everything was smooth, and we left impressed and happy. The highlight for me was definitely the view from the top — absolutely stunning, especially with the autumn colours. A place worth visiting for sure!
Elly M — Google review
Conwy Castle is amazing! The place is huge and the views from the towers are just stunning—you can see the whole town, the sea, and the hills all around. Walking along the walls feels like a little adventure, and it’s super fun to explore all the towers and stairways. Everything is really well looked after, and there are signs around that explain the history in a simple way. The town itself is also lovely—perfect for a wander and a bite to eat after the castle. The only downside that there is no free guidance booklet with history clues. Definitely one of nice spots I’ve visited in North Wales!
Ibrahim W — Google review
What a castle! Recommend getting a tour from the conwy visitor center in order to get some more history / information as I did. This castle was built for defense and you can tell. Ontop of bedrock, many different gates to enter, thick walls, cliffside and with water surrounding made it almost * impenetrable! Paid parking available nearby.

We visited Conwy Castle on a beautifully warm sunny September day whilst staying on holiday in one of the cottages right next to it! It got so warm I had to go back and get changed in to a dress from jeans before going in! We had been before years ago; it’s still one of the most beautiful castles you’ve ever seen! Definitely one of the best preserved after all these years too! 💛 The castle itself was stunning and so fun to look around! 🏰 You can go up in the towers and walk around the top! We don’t go all the way to the top in some as it was so high and we were a bit scared! The cottage we stayed in had some of the castle wall behind it but not the part you could walk along so that was a nice view too! There is even the stocks still there and a big chair to take photos in! The views of the sea are absolutely breathtaking! 🌊💙🩵 You can look over the suspension bridge and the town too! 🌁 It’s definitely worth a trip to if you’re in Conwy! You won’t be disappointed! 😆 The gift shop has a great selection too and price to get in isn’t too bad as there’s so much to look around at! It was very busy even on a September weekday!

An absolute must-visit! Conwy Castle is breathtaking from the moment you see it. The views from the towers are stunning – you get a full panoramic of the town, the estuary, and even the mountains in the distance. It’s like stepping back in time. The architecture is incredibly well-preserved, and there’s plenty of space to explore without feeling rushed. The walk along the castle walls is a real highlight. It’s perfect for history lovers, families, or anyone who enjoys a bit of adventure with their sightseeing. The staff are friendly and helpful, and there’s lots of information available about the castle’s history. Well worth the entrance fee. Just make sure to wear comfy shoes – there are a lot of steps! Would definitely recommend it if you’re visiting North Wales. Plenty car parks (pay and display) near by
Olaya B — Google review
A very interesting castle or ruin, like all of Edward I's. Even more impressive with the Conwy Suspension Bridge. The castle is definitely worth a visit. However, the parking situation is terrible, especially if you want to see the town. There is a free car park a little way outside, about a 5-minute walk away, during the week. That's great because you can then see the town without being under time pressure.
Siouxsie S — Google review
An amazing and imposing castle with the walls surrounding the town. It’s free to go up and walk around sections of the wall (if you have a head for heights) and enjoy the views. Lovely visitor centre with great shop and free to use toilets (unlike the tourist information centre across the road!). Didn’t have time to go into castle but certainly will try to get back for a visit sometime.

Nestled in the picturesque Conwy Valley, Welsh Mountain Zoo is a conservation zoo offering breathtaking views and a diverse collection of rare animals. From red pandas to tigers and snow leopards, visitors can marvel at exotic and endangered species while strolling through lush gardens. Families can enjoy interactive experiences, educational exhibits, and daily animal encounters. The zoo also features a quiet farm with rabbits and ducks for children to enjoy.
Such a unique place. Staff are friendly and helpful, we went to a few talks which we don't normally do but was easy to get around, not too busy and well worth going to them. The enclosures are a little smaller compared to some other larger zoos but the animals are well loved and cared for. Fabulous views, great playground. A couple of cafes. We got chips/drinks from the safari which were reasonably priced. Plenty of parking and right by the beach so we went there after. Would highly recommend. My 13, 11 and 7 year old loved it. We will definitely go back. Arrived about 10:15 and left approx 15:30.

The walk from Colwyn Bay town to the zoo is intense as it is uphill but it was so worth it. The views were beautiful. Ticket prices are reasonable, staff are friendly & as we went before the schools break up for the summer holidays it was quiet. This gave us time to see everything. We were in awe of the bear, seeing a brown bear was an amazing experience. Even the food was reasonably prices

A lovely little zoo with a beautiful garden a views of the ocean. We saw 90% of the animals during our visit which was amazing, especially the snow leopards. The animal talks were interesting, our favorite was the sea lion training. Only reason for the 4 not 5 stars is due to the food and drink options. During our visit there weren’t any ice creams and the only drinks available were limited warm cans and hot drinks. We ate in the penguin cafe and a basic baguette was £9, which shocked me. Definitely bring your own food. Hot dogs and chips are available in the restaurant for slightly cheaper but were sold out. Toilets were very clean. We spend around 4 hours here. For those wondering you can easily get a taxi from the train station. It cost us £6 with Dales Taxis, walking down to town was fine but you don’t want to have to walk up the mountain to the zoo.

Just visited for the first time and loved it. Spent hours there and even had dinner there. Lots to see on the walks around the zoo. Check out the website. The food was a little expensive but it all helps to keep the place open and the cafe was really clean and modern and well looked after. All the staff were great. Little talks every hour or so but we missed them lol. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant zoo with brilliant talks. Alex was excellent with the bear talk, she was so knowledgeable, not just with bears but with a lot of other animals. Sea lions and the show were fantastic. Food in the penguin view place was really nice and reasonably priced. We took about 5 hours to go around the whole zoo with a 3 year old and 5 year old and stuck around for two talks. We didn’t go at a rushed pace around the park. Gift shop is pricey but then they always are in these places. All in all, a great day out! Just a heads up, it’s cheaper if you book online before the day you choose to go. Don’t book on the day you’re going because it’s more expensive. No family ticket available if you don’t book before the day you go.

Now this is a Zoo! I went here with my partner and 10yr old son. We absolutely loved it from start to finish. The animals were brilliant. The staff went above and beyond; answering any questions or just talking to us about the animals they cared for. I made some amazing core memories with some of my favourite animals. I will be back as soon as I can that's for sure. There are accessible parts of the zoo but it is very much hills and slopes at parts. There are plenty of food places and toilets dotted around the place. There is always some fun activity for the kids to do to keep them busy and interested throughout your visit. Could not recommend this Zoo more highly! It's amazing!
Paula D — Google review
I came expecting the regular zoo experience with lots of children and no quiet time. When I went the zoo had lots of space, and fairly quiet so it was a nice change. I recommend bringing walking shoes as some of the paths are not paved and it's similar to a light hike. The map isn't necessary because when I read it, it didn't seem super updated, but there are no signage as well so keep that in mind. Some of the enclosures were under maintence so it was difficult to see the animals and the restaurants were overpriced in my opinion (sausage roll was £5.25)
Jessie Y — Google review
Recommend coming here Variety of animals and well maintained the habitats were made as well close to orginal habitat of the animals. All of us loved the butterfly enclosure. One thing I'd say is that its kinda confusing trying to find the animals because of the lack of signage and people were ignoring the exit only sign to get into the butterfly enclosure so it created a traffic jam.

Step back in time and immerse yourself in the civilian life during World War II at the Home Front Museum in Llandudno. This living history museum offers a unique experience, showcasing recreated shops and homes from the 1940s. The museum, housed in a former garage used by the fire service during the war, is small but rich with history.
One of the very best WWII museums I’ve ever visited. While most focus on the fighting soldiers, theaters, and battle information, this lovingly curated experience highlights the average folks back home. There is a refreshing dedication to the women and their involvement as well as the other people that did what they could from home. Absolutely worth traveling to the area specifically to visit this museum with plenty of personal stories from locals. The owner, Andrian, is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his museum. I could’ve easily spent a half day just examining everything.

What a cracking little museum, while small it's packed to the brim with informative signage and well dressed up exhibits. Is a few mins walk away from the town center and at £4:40 (at the time of posting) it's well worth the visit, I'll happily come back next time I'm round. The owner seems nice and friendly and very informative about the soldiers that lived in Llandudno and life of civilians during the wartime era.

This museum is an absolute hidden gem. Tucked away on a side street in Llandudno, the place really packs a punch when you go in! It is crammed with fascinating artefacts and all presented in an exceptional way. The place is great value for money and I highly recommend it. Very family friendly with displays that appeal to all ages.

We had a spare afternoon and looked for somewhere to visit close by our hotel. It's a bit tucked away, but the outside looked interesting. It's so reasonably priced that we didn't expect much. Once inside, we were blown away by the number of items. There was so much to look at with displays set up as shop windows, rooms, and even an air raid shelter. If you stop and look at each exhibit closely, you keep noticing more things! My mum, who is a certain age to just remember the war, was fascinated by items she remembered from her childhood and re-lived the time she was evacuated. We spent a while inside and even went back to look at some areas again. Thank you for a lovely experience and well displayed Museum.

Brilliant little museum down a back street in Llandudno. Very cheap entrance fee (£4.40 per adult) but I spent a good 45 minutes looking at everything in there. Lots of information on WW2 and how it affected the normal people at home. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Nestled in the charming seaside town of Llandudno, the Mostyn Gallery is a vibrant hub for contemporary Welsh and international art. Established in 1901 by Lady Augusta Mostyn, this gallery beautifully marries its historical roots with modern design elements, featuring an impressive Edwardian red brick facade alongside sleek contemporary spaces. Visitors can immerse themselves in inspiring exhibitions while enjoying a delightful cafe experience and browsing through a shop filled with exquisite artworks and handicrafts.
Fantastic gallery with beautiful exhibition spaces and a really interesting programme of shows. Cafe is excellent and the service is first class. Really nicely curated shop as well. All staff were warm and polite on each of our numerous visits and we didn't see a single frown between them despite visiting with two young children which usually triggers hostility from someone in a gallery. We love the Mostyn and will keep coming back. If you like contemporary art, it's a must-visit. ♥️

West Shore Beach is a beautiful sandy beach located in a coastal town in north Wales. It is quieter compared to the North Shore Beach, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a more peaceful environment. The beach offers a large expanse of sand that stretches far out to sea during low tide, providing visitors with a gorgeous setting to enjoy.
As a foreigner living in Chester, this is the best place I have found so far within a 1h range. Lovely beach and views. Perfect spot to see the sunset. Llandudno offers short hikking routes great for stretching your legs and have a small taste of nature. Clean spaces everywhere and wonderful locals

Llandudno has two sides of beaches. This side, the west, has a long stretch of beach with dunes and pebbles. I was told it’s the largest beach here. It’s not developed like the main beach, no promenade or hotels or places to visit. There are just a couple cafes and a chip shop (closed bank holiday!). I last came here 10 years ago and recall it being a large and lovely sandy beach. We arrived today at 1pm and saw only pebbles 😂 however the tide was in (I’m not scientific enough to explain why it was in at this time and not when I came last time, at this time). Anyway, there were patches of sand and gradually the tide went out and behold! The sand! This side is let down by lack of places to eat (the two cafes are expensive). But, then again, that’s its charm too. I’m going to head over to the main beach. The footpath is adorned with benches to sit, there are lots of places to sunbath between the dunes, in the sand but away from sea.

West Shore Beach in Llandudno is a tranquil spot with golden sands, stunning sunsets, and views of Conwy Mountain ,its just 10mins walk from llandudno pier. Quieter than the North Shore, it’s ideal for walks, picnics, and a relaxing escape by the sea

This beach has to be the most relaxing beaches I’ve visited. Ok, maybe nothing compared to Spain or even Bamburgh, but to us it’s idyllic, I could sit there all day watching the waves roll in. It’s relaxing, charming and picturesque. It’s the first place we come to when we visit Llandudno, a beautiful place in itself. The beaches are spotlessly clean and certainly don’t smell like one reviewer has said, have they never seen seaweed before. I’m amazed with this place and always will. It’s beautiful.

When in Llandudno, a must-visit attraction is the Llandudno Chocolate Experience. This unique adventure takes you on a journey through 5000 years of chocolate history, starting from a Mayan hut and progressing through nine different eras. The museum, located near the chocolate factory, consists of themed rooms that are filled with fascinating information about the evolution of chocolate.
We visited on a weekday during the summer holidays. The museum was quiet. It's slightly off the beaten track, but a real hidden gem. The information is great, and the exhibits were good. It included a mix of traditional exhibition displays (put your hand in the box and guess what this is; information panels) and screen-based (guess the answers to this quiz) taking you through the history of his chocolate was discovered, what it was used for and how it came to be what it is today. There were a series of videos throughout giving more information. We were here for about an hour, but could have spent much longer. The tasters as you could round were a fun addition to the tour, but they do a wonderful job of preparing you for the gift shop. We bought a chocolate bar and hot chocolate too.

Museum was good. Very dark inside so struggled to see some of the writing on the plaques. Quite a small museum but informative. Dogs are allowed at the discretion of reception, the chap who served us wasn't that friendly/welcoming unfortunately. Great to see the old packaging on chocolate bars which brought back lots of childhood memories. Not wheelchair/disabled friendly due to stairs leading up to museum.

This was an unexpected GEM of a find. Didn't even know it existed. The visit was a really good insight into the world of chocolate it's origins, development & discoveries on how it has evolved to what we know and enjoy today. Only one criticism the lighting was a little dim to read the story boards and one or 2of the audio story pads were not working. I had to switch the light on on my phone to read the boards. The Chocolates were a really nice touch in helping the evolution of the product.the displays of bygone chocolate bars of long ago were nostalgic to when I was a child many brands of which I wish would make a return. "Maisie's" chocolate shop around the corner was a real joy in its old fashioned layout and selection of which we made several purchases for Christmas. We have a 2nd home in the area and took away several leaflets on the museum so guests can enjoy the same experience. Well done guys & keep up the great work 👍👍👍

Beach
North Shore Beach, located in Llandudno Bay, is a picturesque two-mile stretch of sandy coastline nestled between the impressive limestone headlands of the Great Orme and the Little Orme. This beach has been recognized with the Seaside Award for its exceptional cleanliness and management. It is a favorite destination for families, offering ample space for building sandcastles and engaging in various beach activities such as windsurfing and parasailing.
Had a very pleasant walk on the beach. Much of it is strewn with rocks and covered with pebbles of all kinds and colours, but there's a stretch of soft clean sand close to the pier that is a great place for younger children to play and build sandcastles. You only have to go down a few steps from the prom to the sands at this point, and there's also a slipway suitable for wheelchairs and prams. I was here on the last day of March, when there was not much to do but take a leisurely stroll, but boat trips run from the wooden jetty from Easter to October, and there are donkey rides and Punch and Judy shows throughout the summer months. The views of the Great and Little Orme, with Llandudno's Victorian promenade in between, are wonderful at any time of the year! There's also a children's funfair with a ferris wheel and small rides. You can get an ice-cream or fish and chips here, but watch out for the seagulls: a lady on my coach trip had a cornet snatched out of her hand as she was walking along the seafront.

A nice well kept pebble beach. I didn’t notice any rubbish on the beach walking one end to the other. Their is two wooden piers that you can walk down when the tide is out but be careful as they can be slippy (due to being under water when the tide is high)

Plenty of restaurants, bars, and hotels are nearby, making it easy to enjoy your visit and even stay overnight.

TLDR; Decent little soft play with good cafe. Could do with better changing facilities. We visited with our little monster on a Saturday afternoon whilst on holiday. We called in advance (highly recommended) to check for availability, they took our name down to reserve us a place. We arrived right on time for our slot and got straight in. There is plenty of seating available, though it is first come first served. Our little monster thoroughly enjoyed his time here, exploring everywhere - he especially liked the mini football area, with other boys playing football and inviting him to join in. The cafe is really good, with plenty of choices - though it's not budget friendly. The disabled toilets were out of order on our visit, which made changing our monster difficult - they may normally have much better facilities available. There is a small changing mat on a wobbly wooden stand. There is no place to put tings whilst changing. We'll certainly be back if we're ever in the area.

For those seeking adventure, the nearby Great Orme Country Park features an extensive network of trails through limestone cliffs, heathland, and ancient woodland. The promenade itself spans almost two miles from Llandudno Pier to Craigside, with charming hotels and traditional attractions like Punch and Judy shows during the summer months.
Llandudno is a beautiful hidden gem in North Wales. It boasts a stunning, spacious seafront promenade and a charming pier—perfect for a peaceful stroll. The town is well maintained and has a lovely, welcoming vibe. For the best experience, try booking a sea-facing B&B. Not only will you enjoy breathtaking views, but it’s also a cost-effective option. A must-visit destination if you’re in the area!

We enjoyed Llandudno a lot more than we expected. The Pier, the Promenade, the seaviews. It's a pretty place to be. The Promenade stretches along the beach from the Pier to the Paddling pool in the east. Almost 1.5 miles in length. Most visitors flock around the Pier area. The further east you walk, the less people you will see. And it's a real nice thing to do, walking the Promenade. Even busy, the Pier is a good starting point. Grab some snacks, some ice cream and get on your way. There's countless benches along the Promenade - all with seaviews :) So it's a perfect spot to enjoy some snacks or a small picnic. The Promenade is very wide, so it doesn't feel crowded. Bikes, dog walkers...there's space for everybody. There is a carpark near the pier, but always full. Some spots along the Promenade, but they're hard to find. We parked just a block away from the Promenade at the Venue Cymru carpark and were really happy with it. Plenty of empty spots.

I have telephoned on 3 ocassions over recent months to book tickets for various shows (Daniel O'Donnell, Mama Mia, Cinderella). Each time I have spoken to a very helpfull, efficient, knowledgeable and pleasant member of staff. So far I have only attended one show however the organisation within the theatre has been excellent. I have always booked early enabling me to book great seats. The seats are both comfortable and leg room is plentifull. I like in Cheshire however like this theatre for all the above reasons and the ease of parking. It would be much nearer for me to travel to Manchester or Liverpool to the theatres however I appreciate what Venue Cymru offers me and the shows that perform and appear there.

RSPB Conwy is a 114-acre nature preserve that boasts various habitats such as grasslands and salt marsh, making it an ideal home to an array of bird species. Its stunning views across the Conwy valley make the entry fee of 6 pounds for adults well worth it. Visitors can enjoy spotting different types of wildlife, including swans and herons flying around or just relaxing at some of the hides on site.
Lovely first stop in Wales and we really scored with the weather. Walked the lagoon perimeter and enjoyed some fantastic views out over to Conwy and the surrounding hills. Staff were great in telling us what birds to expect and where.

What a marvelous place. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We were given an excellent overview of the work being done on the site and have to say the enthusiasm of the team is wonderful to see. A special mention for Jake for his advice and guidance. We enjoyed a lovely walk observing many birds and a few squirrels along the trail and in the estuary. We stopped at a number of hides and had great fun trying to identify the numerous species going about their business. The scenery and the abundance of birds made for quite a special day out.

We've been meaning to visit for a long time but actually managed it today as read online there was also a Farmers Market taking place. We had a lovely walk around and spent time in a few of the hides watching the various birds. Hoping for a lot of rain which will sort out the water problems in the lagoons! We would definitely recommend a visit and we'll be back soon.

Situated off A55 J18, RSPB's North Wales location takes advantage of a site once used to receive ground excavations for the A55's Conwy Tunnel. The site features freshwater wetland, a modern visitors centre/store, and a cafe. The facilities are excellent, and include ample parking, great accessibility, toilets/baby changing facilities and also a playground. Dog walkers beware that canines are not allowed, however a trail joins the visitor centre to Conwy, and anyone prepared to walk for 20-30 minutes during summer months will probably reach Conwy Harbour before successfully finding a parking place in town. RSPB is a charity, so be prepared for a modest entrance fee unless your visit is restricted to the cafe only, and be prepared for well versed volunteers asking for donations!

The Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza is a delightful celebration of the town's rich history and stunning Victorian architecture, taking place every May Day Bank Holiday weekend for over three decades. This vibrant event draws in thousands of visitors eager to experience its charm. Attendees can enjoy a grand parade, vintage car displays, and impressive steam engines that transport you back in time.
I must say well done to the team organising this event in difficult times. With the fabulous free entertainment on stage, traction engines, vintage fairground rides, the wonderful people who turn up in Victorian costume, it all comes together to make a lovely atmosphere in our wonderful town. And all whilst all the time our council are unwilling to put any effort or money in to an event that brings in 1000's of extra visitors, with the shops and local businesses very busy throughout the whole weekend. It was lovely walking past the coach park just as some of our elderly visitors were getting back on the coach telling the driver what a wonderful day they had in Llandudno.

When this festival started back in the 1980s it celebrated Llandudno's Victorian heritage and was a popular and well supported event, with both local people as well as retailers happily getting involved. Sadly these days it's a sad reflection of it's former self and now mostly consists of fairground rides (some very modern, noisy and gaudy), overpriced sideshow stalls, fast food vendors and well known rip-off merchants such as Kingdom of Sweets and The British Fudge Company. There might be lots of people wandering aimlessly about the town centre but the shops will all be deserted as local people stay well away and visitors aren't interesting in shopping, which is why none of the shops support the event anymore. It's noticeable how much busier shops in neighbouring towns are over the course of weekend so at least someone benefits, just not anyone in Llandudno. It's well beyond time it was scrapped for good, or if not renamed to avoid misleading people into thinking it's in any way a "Victorian" themed festival. Most of the local people I know now call it Funfair Weekend, which would be a much more accurate and far less misleading name.

A good special event weekend for Llandudno and still worth a look around at the vintage stream engines, etc. If you don't like the commercial side of it, then support the local businesses. AVOID the vastly over priced stalls like the Kingdom of sweets, and visit the local sweet shops, etc. Don't criticize the event, use your common sense where you purchase from. Support local, enjoy the experience, and all the hard work put in. We did !

The Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza started out in 1986 and back then it did what it says on the tin. There were steam engines, fairground organs, people in Victorian costume, sideshows, street entertainers and it was all good fun. There was a lot of "buy in" from the locals and most of the shops in the town centre joined in by decorating their windows and hiring fancy dress for the staff. Sadly, over the years it's lost it's way and morphed into little more than a giant fairground with lots of very modern and very noisy fairground rides dominating the proceedings. The steam engines, sideshows and people in costume are largely gone in favour of Kingdom of Sweets and Hook-a-Duck stalls (although in fairness in 2024 I only counted six Hook-a-Ducks so some of the ones from 2023 must have decided not to bother again). The one really authentic exhibit, a fairground organ, is always plonked on the very edge of the festival at Bog Island when it should really be somewhere in a prime spot in the centre of Mostyn Street. The shops no longer get involved, which isn't surprising as most of them are largely devoid of customers, probably because the lack of parking caused by the festival means it's very difficult to park close enough to be able to pop back to the car to drop your shopping in the boot. I imagine most retail business in the town centre lose a lot of trade over the weekend, and some don't even bother opening. It also seems to bring out the rudeness in people. I'm not exactly small yet I was constantly barged into by people who didn't even acknowledge what they'd done, let alone attempt to apologise. There also seems to be an obsession for people to find the narrowest available passageways to suddenly stop and stand still in the middle of. By chance I was in Llandudno on the Saturday morning of the 2024 festival so I thought I'd have a wander round to see if it was as bad as in previous years. Amazingly, and I don't know how the organisers had managed this, it was worse than ever. I couldn't wait to escape the town. I feel really sorry for anyone who travels any great distance to attend this event, especially if they think they'll be attending a Victorian themed event, because they'll leave disappointed and feeling ripped off.

Alice Cottage is a charming accommodation option in Llandudno, perfect for those looking for a unique experience. The cottage is linked to the town's Alice in Wonderland trail, which appeals to both children and adults seeking something different from typical seaside activities. This connection dates back to the 1800s when the real-life Alice Pleasance Liddell spent her holidays in Llandudno.
Comfy,cosy,quiet,clean. Very enjoyable stay.

Nestled in the town of Conwy, The Smallest House In Great Britain is a charming and quirky attraction that shouldn't be missed. This minuscule former fisherman's residence, known as Quay House, measures just 1.8 meters wide and 3 meters high. With only two rooms, this bright red one-up-one-down dwelling was inhabited until May 1900 by the last owner, Robert Jones.
Lovely, worth the long queue and £1.50. Doesn't take long to look round as it is small, and I had to take my rucksack off to look up the ladder. The lady on the door has a little stall and happily tells you about it and poses\takes your photo whilst waiting to go in 😍

We came across this little gem completely by chance, and it turned out to be a delightful surprise. It's just 6 feet wide and 10 feet tall! It was once home to a remarkably tall fisherman - 6'3". The visit itself is short and sweet, just a few minutes per person, but it leaves a lasting impression. While you can’t go upstairs, you can peek into the upper level. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the entry fee is refreshingly low, making it a quirky and budget-friendly stop for families, history lovers, or anyone curious about Britain’s tiniest home.

It’s a good visit if you are around the town, takes 2-3 mins. Ticket charges £1.5 per adult. You can buy directly from the front door from the lady. The history and habitant is pre recorded and playing when you enter the house.

Tucked along Conwy’s harbour wall, the Smallest House in Great Britain is a quirky and charming stop that captures everyone’s curiosity. Measuring just 1.8 metres wide and 3.05 metres high, it was once home to a local fisherman named Robert Jones, who lived there until 1900. Despite its tiny size, the house is surprisingly cosy, with a living area downstairs and a small sleeping loft above. It’s a quick visit but full of character—friendly guides share its fascinating history, and it’s perfect for photos beside Conwy’s medieval walls. Entrance cost £1.50 and its worth to look inside this tiny house.

A lovely experience, a lot of history about this little house. From the little old couple of lived here to the 6 foot 5 fisherman how he veer lived there I'll never know, so much stuff in such a little house. Recommend going, there will be a queue outside the house to see, both card and cash payments are taken. And trinkets can be bought afterwards on the little trolley. Also the staff are in traditional Welsh lady dress, what better way to be proud and welsh, Cymru am byth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I recently had the chance to visit the Smallest House in Britain, and honestly, it was such a cute and unique experience! ❤️ The house is tiny—so tiny that you can hardly imagine someone living inside it. Yet, it has a special charm that immediately catches your heart. Standing in front of it feels like stepping into a fairytale. What makes the place even more beautiful is its location. Right in front, there are plenty of boats floating on the water, each one different from the other. The combination of the sea breeze, the boats, and this little red house makes the view absolutely unforgettable. 🌊🚤 It’s not just a house—it’s a part of Britain’s history and culture, and definitely a must-visit spot for anyone traveling here. 👉 Overall: • Uniqueness: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • Beauty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • Experience: Truly recommended ❤️

Plas Mawr, meaning "Great Hall," is a 16th-century residence located on Conwy High Street. Built between 1576 and 1585 by Robert Wynn, it is preserved by Cadw and offers self-guided audio tours. The house showcases original plasterwork in the bedrooms and Great Chamber, as well as Tudor technology in the kitchen. Visitors can explore the garden, courtyard, and climb to the tower for stunning views of Conwy.
Really great historical house. Great map and info sheet provided by the staff. Rooms most rooms are nicely decorated giving you some sense of life back in the day. The house itself is really interesting. Loved getting to see the ornate plastered walls and ceilings. Loved the freedom we had to explore the house and the climb to the tower was worth it (outstanding views). If you’re in Conwy you need to visit this place.

I was genuinely impressed by how beautifully preserved this townhouse is - like stepping straight into another century. Despite the bustle outside, it was surprisingly peaceful inside, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The staff were warm and welcoming, and there was so much to explore: a fascinating array of rooms and a charming Elizabethan garden filled with a variety of plants. The ornamental plasterwork was a real highlight. One particularly lovely moment was meeting a friendly woman who not only offered to take our photo but also gave us a delightful mini-lesson in Welsh pronunciation and language. It added such a personal touch to the experience. The gift shop was well-stocked with thoughtful souvenirs, including a great selection of magnets. All in all, a hidden gem that’s well worth a visit.

Plas Mawr is one of Britain’s finest surviving Elizabethan townhouses and a true gem of Conwy. Built between 1576 and 1585 for Robert Wynn, a wealthy merchant and member of the gentry, it reflects the prosperity and ambition of Tudor Wales. The house’s name means “Great Hall” in Welsh, and it lives up to it—every room is richly decorated with intricate plaster ceilings, painted walls, and period furnishings that bring the 16th century vividly to life. Beautifully restored and managed by Cadw, Plas Mawr offers a fascinating glimpse into the social status, family life, and craftsmanship of its time. It’s not just a historic house—it’s a journey straight into the world of the Welsh Renaissance. Entrance cost £10 for non Cadw members, toilets and gift shop available on the site too. Worth a visit

This house is deceptively large! What you think is the house, on the street, is actually only the gatehouse and the main house is behind. Really homely house with some impressive original ceiling and wall mouldings, some decorated. There is an audio guide available which I recommend listening along to as it really brings the story of the house to life. Do visit the top of the tower for great views of the town. There is an admission fee but free for Cadw members. Gift shop and toilets on site.

I hadn't been to Plas Mawr in over 30 years. It was a favourite place to visit as a child. Back in the 80's they definitely leaned more in to haunting side of it. I don't think that even got mentioned on the tour this time. First off, this isn't a good place if you have mobility issues. Between the stairs, crooked floors and doorways that you have to duck to go through whilst also stepping over something, isn't the easiest of things. On entry, staff were FANTASTIC. Incredibly nice and polite. There were several other lovely staff members inside too. You get the option of taking a player round that scans things in different rooms and gives information and a story. This costs no extra and is a brilliant addition. There is also a room inside where you can watch videos about various things in the house. It's a great place to look around and it has plenty of seating in various areas around the house. Given it's age, a lot of the flooring has become very warped, you can even see the floor below in some of the gaps and splits. In some rooms, it can leave you feeling a bit dizzy walking around. If you're in Conwy, it's well worth a visit. I think it's even possible to get a dual ticket to also visit the castle too.

Plas Mawr We visited Plas Mawr by chance, and it turned out to be one of the best things that happened during my trip to Wales. This is one of the most carefully preserved Elizabethan houses in the country, and everything is kept in pristine condition. I met Peter, a volunteer, who gave a fascinating insight into what life was like in that era. Every room is beautifully decorated in period style, and even the kitchen is set up with fresh ingredients to make it feel alive. It was absolutely lovely, and I strongly recommend a visit. You can also buy a joint ticket with Conwy Castle and save nearly £4 on each ticket – definitely worth it. There are toilets inside the house for visitors which, like the rest of the building, are very clean.

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The National Trust - Conwy Suspension Bridge is a picturesque 1800s Gothic-style bridge designed by Thomas Telford. It stands next to the iconic Conwy Castle and was built to improve the route between Chester and Holyhead. The bridge's turrets were designed to match those of the castle, making it a stunning architectural marvel that marries the modern and medieval worlds.
This is a historic suspension bridge spanning the River Conwy, regarded as one of the iconic civil engineering achievements of the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Thomas Telford, construction began in 1822, and the bridge was opened in 1826. It was designed to harmonize with the medieval aesthetic of Conwy Castle, utilizing the castle’s towers to anchor the suspension cables. As one of the first iron suspension bridges, it is considered a groundbreaking example of the engineering innovations of the time. Originally built for carriages and pedestrians, the bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in 1958 following the construction of a new road bridge. Today, it is maintained by the National Trust and serves as a pedestrian-only bridge.

I didn't get time to visit the castle, but I got a really good close-up view of it from Thomas Telford's elegant suspension bridge. Approaching from the harbour, I had to cross a very busy main road before entering through a little gate to follow the short path to the bridge. But the bridge itself, pedestrianised and almost deserted, was a surprisingly peaceful stroll to the tollkeeper's house and back. Before it was built, the only way that people and their livestock could get across the estuary was to make a difficult and perilous ferry crossing, so when it opened in 1826, Telford's bridge must have been seen as a godsend! A truly brilliant piece of engineering, its cables were amazingly anchored to a tower of the castle without appearing to cause any damage to the medieval structure at all. It's a pity that the views on both sides are restricted by the other two bridges (the Victorian Tubular Railway Bridge and the more recent road bridge) being so close. And the tollkeeper's house, resembling a mini castle with its turrets and crenellations, is sadly closed to the public. Even so, the bridge itself is well worth a close look, and it's free to walk across.

Magnificent Victorian era suspension bridge, designed by Thomas Telford and still serving its intended purpose, carrying pedestrians over the water 200 years on. Of the three bridges at this location, the suspension bridge is the most elegant and photogenic. The toll keeper's house is unfortunately no longer open to visitors and, unusually for the National Trust, looked a bit unloved when I visited in 2024. On the plus side, bridge users no longer have to pay a toll.

Walking across the bridge, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the estuary and the historic town of Conwy.

A medieval town house steeped in history and full of atmosphere. The rooms are dark and the wooden floors are visibly sloping on the timber-framed upper storey. You need to be aware of low wooden beams and raised thresholds. Each room has furniture and artefacts from a different period of history. I found the kitchen with its curious hanging bread crate particularly fascinating. The guides were welcoming, enthusiastic and a mine of information and the printed info gave me an insight into the lives of the people who lived here in past centuries. The ground floor shop has some beautiful gifts/souvenirs and good books. Well worth a visit!

This is a very interesting historic building with lots of potential for visitors. The room guide on the middle floor was charming and provided some good insights into the history. Her efforts were the real highlight, though, in a National Trust site that feels a bit neglected and could do a lot more with a bit more resource. There is very little information within the historic rooms, so there's little to keep you here, and no audio guide. Conpared with Plas Mawr (a bigger building, granted, but also shown off to its full potential), this seems a bit under-resourced. Some investment in research into the property, an audio guide and more coherent way of showing the rooms could make this really special. There's a really good shop in the basement which seemed the most popular area on our visit!

Y Gogarth Great Orme Country Park is a serene coastal park with vast open fields, diverse wildlife, and stunning panoramic views. The Marine Drive offers a picturesque four-mile route around the base of the Great Orme headland, providing travelers with captivating scenery and ample parking opportunities. This massive limestone rock formation is not only an impressive natural landmark but also a protected area for rare habitats and species. Families can enjoy various kid-friendly activities while exploring the designated conservation areas.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Y Gogarth – the Great Orme Country Park – is absolutely worth the visit. The views are breathtaking in every direction, whether you're looking out to sea, spotting a ship in the distance, or just admiring the rugged landscape dotted with sheep. There’s a nice mix of things to do: the cable cars and the historic tram add a unique charm, and there’s even a bit of fun with crazy golf. If you're driving, be aware that the roads are steep – great if your car can handle hills, but it’s not the place to test a tired clutch. There’s parking available at the top, which is really convenient if you want to explore without too much of a hike. Overall, it’s a brilliant spot for scenery, wildlife, and a bit of classic Welsh adventure.

As always, another visit to the Orme, another fantastic day. Accessible by foot, car, cable car, bus system and road tram, there are multiple options to get to the summit. This time we chose cable car (£15 per adult, £12.50 per child and £2 if you fancy taking the dog! - 2 adults and 2 children family return ticket is £43). The views are breathtaking and we'll worth the ride to see the Orme from a completely different perspective. Visitors centre at the summit is very informative, then there's the surroundings... The quarry, the bronze mines, St. Tudno's church, the open fields and walkways, the wildlife. Absolutely fantastic example of what Wales has to offer. Great family day out, and with the whole of Llandudno underneath you, what more could you want?

Went to the bronze age copper mine. A great visit with a fantastic welcome. Lots of information via film and boards. Had a chat to the local archaeologist on site. £10 a person with a discount for using the tram.(Must show ticket as proof). A bit tight to walk through the caves , well lit. Not suitable for wheelchairs or people who need sticks to walk. Quite damp floors in places due to water seepage through the ground. Some deep spots your walking over.

I had a lovely walk to the summit, going via the Happy Valley Park. Wonderful views from the top. I returned by the back of the old quarry. Went slightly off track but it found me the goats. Then back on the correct path brought me to the lovely Haulfre Gardens. A. really lovely walk.

Amazing views and a must see place in north wales. Toddler Tip: Don’t get too adventurous if you have push chairs, we had 2 so decided to hike down the fields till a distance from where we can hike up the push chairs. Try to encourage toddlers to walk (if they have started walking already), our younger one loved running down the fields and went very close to the sheeps. Bonus: place has one of most amazing mini golf with 18 holes.

An unforgettable experience! The place has breathtaking beauty that simply can’t be captured by words or even the best camera. You truly have to be there to feel the magic of the scene—it’s beyond anything I imagined.

The Owls Trust in Llandudno is a delightful zoo focused on the preservation of owls and other wildlife, making it an ideal destination for families and nature enthusiasts. Despite being free to enter, this hidden gem offers a larger-than-expected space with well-cared-for birds. Visitors can enjoy interacting with knowledgeable and friendly staff who provide insights into the diverse bird species and their individual personalities.
A lovely peaceful place to visit with a really good variety of Owl's to see. The staff were really friendly and this place is a short distance from Llandudno North Shore. Definitely worth a visit. There's no rush to get around and it's a nice place to go and relax. Toilet facilities on site. Free entry but please make a donation so that the owls are given the best care possible.

Providing a delightfully peaceful retreat from the bustle of nearby Llandudno centre, the Owls Trust has an impressive collection of these wonderful birds, many of them rescues. The staff have a passion for conservation and are on hand to answer questions and give background information on individual creatures. Entry is free, but they rely on donations to continue their good work, so PLEASE scan the QR code and donate while you're there.

The Owls Trust is a great place to visit, nothing but good memories! It's free to go in, we arrived at 1:30pm on a Saturday and there was only one of group of people there. They have a wide variety of owl species there, as well as a kookaburra, and the volunteers started feeding them 5 minutes after we arrived so everything was up and being noisy! You can make a donation to the trust but there's no pressure to do so. The staff are friendly and knowledgable, and they did get a few of the owls out to show to the visitors. We were very impressed that there were so many owls to see, and will definitely visit again!

Wow! I’ve never seen so many different owls all in one location or in my life for that matter. Who knew there were so many different types? With different personalities, sizes and attitudes! Quite the characters they are.. The staff are doing excellent work here and if you’re like me.. support The Owl Trust by coming by checking it out and offer a donation however much that may be. Tell your friends about this place, tell their friends about this place. I’ll definitely be back to see how they’re all doing 🦉.

Absolutely amazing! This lovelyfree sanctuary is fabulous for any age. The staff and volunteers were so knowledgeable and had time to chat with visitors. They even brought the owls out to be stroked. The enclosures although small are well kept. The views over Llandudno are amazing. Make sure you donate so they can carry on the good work.

Wonderful stop! Easy walk from town, and many more birds than I was expecting. Nicely done avaries (both in appearance and enrichment), with well done informative signs for the different owls. Nice staff, who even took a friendly owl out for up close observation. If driving, plenty of parking. Free to visit, with donations encouraged. Toliet and baby changing station available adjacent.

I have called over a dozen owl sanctuaries, zoos, pet stores, even the RSPB and RSPCA and The Owls Trust have been the only ones to help me rehome two lovely owls. Beautiful big aviaries for all the birdies, clearly they are all looked after and loved by the finest people. I can’t thank you enough for your help ❤️

We walked to the Owl sanctuary on a wet and windy day but the owls did not disappoint. There is a good variety of owls all with their own personalities (The owl who kept going “whooo” was a favourite). They all seem well cared for and the staff were friendly. I definetly recommend visiting as it’s completely free and something a bit different.
