Experience the amazing, natural underground world that lies beneath your feet here at Dan-yr-Ogof!

Discover the many beautiful cave formations and learn how they form over thousands of years…

Let the children’s imaginations run wild with over 200 life-sized dinosaur models, and our ‘Paint-Your-Own-Dinosaur’ technology!

Meet the Shires, our gentle giants, down at the Shire Horse Centre, and the friendly farm animals here at Mr Morgan’s Victorian Farm.

And don’t forget to come and play at Barney Owl’s undercover children’s playground before the trip home!
