National Showcaves Centre for Wales

A good half day out. The caves are beautiful and well laid out. The dinosaur area keeps the kids going halfway round. By the end our kids were a little caved out, which didn't matter because there is a lovely animal area back towards the entrance to the site with horses, goats, emu's and an outside & Indoors play areas. The price was a little steep but on the whole we enjoyed it and the staff were really helpful and friendly.

We had a fantastic day at the national showcaves. Well worth the money you definitely get your money's worth. The first 2 caves where great, the cathedral cave was the best, that was our favourite. If we had one negative it would be the bone cave. You have to wear a hard hat, which is fine but they absolutely stunk of sweat from previous people. The walk up to the bone cave is via a steep hill under a very low canopy ( hence the hard hat) then when you finally reach the cave it is so small and you can't actually see very much we didn't feel it was worth having to crouch down all the way up the hill to see it. But as I said that's the only negative. The dinosaur park was more than expected, plenty to look at. We also went to the shire horse/farm which we enjoyed, the animals are so friendly especially the goats. We had some lunch in the cafe the food tasted great and it was freshly made. We didn't feel like it was badly priced either. Would absolutely recommend doing this if your in the area we drove an hour from where are staying and it was still worth it.

We had a beautiful experience at the National Showcaves Park today . The tour started with a walk among dinosaurs ,continued to a visit to one of the caves . There are 3 different caves relatively close to each other. The dinosaur Park is beautiful with so many different species of dinosaurs and a museum. The little train takes you to the Morgan Family farm where you can see the sheep , goats and Shire horses. The children have 2 play areas to choose from according to their age. Overall a great time out with the family.

Excellent to visit in a few hours. Family trip, couples etc. Need to buy tickets in advance. There is a farm, a little train to take you up to the caves. The walk is steep when you start going up. Caves are amazing to visit. The bone cave is a challenge to get into to, not necessarily worth it. The rest of the attractions are super. If you are into dinosaurs as well, that is the place to be. Lovely views from the top of the hill. 10/10 experience

This adventure was enjoyable for me and my family. The caves were a wonderful experience, especially the inside waterfall in the second cave. The dinosaurs were good too. A couple also made my 2 year old daughter jump and hide away a little, which was rather amusing 😅 The animals are friendly, and they are more than happy for visitor's to approach them for some love and attention. A very good visit, very pleased and some lovely memories to cherish.

We visited on Wednesday morning (11092024) with our 3 year old grandson, having booked tickets online prior to visiting. After looking at the dinosaurs at the entrance, we went to the ticket office and headed directly to Dan Yr Ogof caves. The caves were well lit, with background narration. There are lots of interesting formations to see. We then visited the dinosaur park - our grandson loved it. There were lots of different types of dinosaurs with information about each one. From the dinosaurs, we walked to the Cathedral Cave. This was spectacular. Again, very well lit with Pachebel's Canon playing in the background to add to the atmosphere. After completing the dinosaurs park and a meal in the cafe/restaurant, we wandered down to see the Shire horses and other animals. The whole experience was self guided, which was helped by the abundance of good direction and information signs. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and we all had a great time. The dinosaur park would particularly appeal to younger visitors.

Great place to visit, some really interesting caves with a lot of history. Good place to bring children as they will enjoy the many dinosaurs. Tours are self guided but there is audio and video playing as you go around all 3 caves. There is a lot of walking, the caves are quite narrow and shallow in places, especially the bones cave, you have to walk through a walkway that is about 5ft tall and narrow to pass and you must wear a hard hat. As with most caves I don't recommend if you are mobility challenged, there are some stairs in the first two caves. The outside areas are quite steep in places. There is a cafe and toilets on site and benches if you bring a picnic. There's also a museum and gift shop although this is nothing special, just your usual Nik nak stuff. Parking is free onsite.

Visited after the school holiday rush so was nice and quiet. Attraction was clean with polite staff. Really nice day out with the kids who got to see how caving has changed over the years followed by a dinosaur walk. Definitely recommend the Welsh cake ice cream afterwards. Cafe food was very reasonably priced with good portions.
