What's On - Events and Activities
The Royal Mint Experience gives you more than a standard museum visit. You get a guided look inside the working factory, then time to explore exhibitions focused on coin design, production and more than 1,100 years of history.
This is one of the few family attractions where you can watch real coins being made during your visit. It works especially well for children aged 3+, older kids with an interest in how things work, and adults who want something educational without feeling dry.
The exhibition is self-guided, so you can move at your own pace after the tour. That makes it easier to shape the visit around younger children, snack breaks or a shorter stop if needed.
There’s also an on-site café, gift shop and free parking, which helps make the practical side of the day simpler. For more nearby inspiration, browse things to do in Glamorgan and Cardiff.
Book ahead to secure the date and guided tour time you want.
Your visit includes a guided factory tour lasting around one hour. This is where you see coin production up close and hear how coins move from design to manufacture.
After the tour, you can explore the exhibition spaces independently. Most visitors allow another 45 minutes to 1 hour to see the displays and interactives properly.
The site offers free parking, step-free access from accessible bays, an on-site café and a gift shop. Everything is designed to keep the visit straightforward once you arrive.
