What travelers are saying
- H C8 contributionsWe visited on St. David's Day! We spent several hours and felt like we had gotten a good overview of the history of Wales from ancient times to modern-day. The various historical buildings were marvels and having staff on hand to answer questions and tell you about the building truly enhanced the visit. The exhibits inside the were comprehensive and well-curated. We spent several hours but honestly, could have spent the whole day and still not seen everything!Written March 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cin wTruro, UK26 contributionsWhat a fabulous castle. I could have stayed all day. I felt very emotional when going through the bunker part of the castle. To see the metal frame beds listening to Churchill and the sound effects got to me. Something I'm glad I did.
Thanks to all who kept us safe.Written March 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sam3314Derby, UK2,111 contributionsWent to the Wales vs Italy match, excellent atmosphere, stadium really well organised. Great view of the pitch and screens.

- Charlom1Cardiff, UK28 contributionsBeautiful building, evolution of Wales and natural history sections interesting but in need of updating with more scope for interactive exhibits. Cafe and Oriel restaurant both disappointing - no food in the Oriel restaurant just before 12 and no menu in the foyer restaurant with an odd display of sandwiches with no descriptions. There could also be better signposting as to what’s on near the main entrance.Written February 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- l h2 contributionsWe went to see Jesus Christ Superstar on opening night. The show was amazing but the stars of the night were Gaynor R and her manager Dylan. Nothing was too much trouble and Gaynor pretty much looked after me all night making sure my disability didn't hinder my experience.Written February 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stanley466Cape Town Central, South Africa818 contributionsLarge park right next to the main city attractions.
One can simply take a short stroll, while we decided to make it a 10km run out and back. It was a great way to get out and see the natural beauty, just outside our hotel.
A definite must do if visiting Cardiff.Written December 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- B DBristol, UK21 contributionsWent in not knowing what to expect. Parking was smooth and plentiful opposite the building. They try to push the Q car park on the website with a 15% discount, I understand this is a lot further and probably pricier than parking outside.
There are 2 floors with lots of activities. We went during Half Term with a 5 and 2 year old expecting it to be heaving. There were plenty of kids about, but there is so much space that we were never waiting for too long.
Personal highlights: rocket launcher, hurricane simulator and the big screen with dinosaurs walking among us!
This was truly a great day out, we didn't get a chance to do the planetarium as it was all booked out, so will take the kids when they are a bit older.Written February 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Well worth a visit, will be coming back in the summer to see all the flowers.Written February 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ianRoch, UK2 contributionsA great trip out on a dull wet rainy day, easy free parking, access & a warm valleys welcome by all the staff. A really interesting experience with the underground experience well worth doing, led by an ex welsh miner who could bring the whole experience to life & explain what it was like to work underground. The on-site cafe was good & value for money, also had a great looking afternoon tea, that was being enjoyed by the locals.Written March 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cindy TPinellas Park, FL92 contributionsThis was an easy bus ride from Cardiff city center to Black Lion, then a quick walk to the cathedral. Stunning architecture inside and out. If you’re lucky the organist will be practicing and you can sit and enjoy the beautiful acoustics they have. It just felt very peaceful inside and I sat for a while and just took it all in. lovely little town as well.Written September 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
