About National Showcaves Centre for Wales
There are ten attractions all included in the one National Showcaves Centre entry ticket, and there is plenty to see and do for all ages. The 3 different caves Dan-yr-Ogof, Cathedral Cave and Bone Cave each offer a unique underground experience.
In Dan-yr-Ogof you walk through the beautifully decorated passageways for just under 1 kilometer. In Cathedral Cave you walk through its enormous caverns, carved out millions of years ago, and at the end of this cave experience the excitement of walking behind the 40 feet high waterfalls that cascade around you in the Dome of St Paul, an atmospheric end to a truly wonderful cave. In Bone Cave learn why 42 human skeletons were buried here, and how ancestors used caves all those years ago.
On site is one of the world's largest collections of life-sized dinosaur models, ranging from the ever popular Tyrannosaurus Rex and Brachiosaurs, to the lesser-known Tsintaosaurus. There are over 200 models here: can you find your favourite dinosaur?
The Shire Horse Centre offers the excitement of the 2 covered children's play areas, the farm yard area, and why not make friends with the gentle giants - the friendly Shire horses who are waiting to say hello!
Include the Iron Age village, museum, and stone circles, and you have plenty to see and do for all ages, and for those who may want a break, there is the Coffee shop, and the Rock and Dinosaur shop to enjoy.
