Llandudno things to do!

9 replies

Wholetthedogsoutwhowhowho · 27/08/2024 18:42

Hello!

Hoping for some ideas on things to do please? Visiting Llandudno for three days, two adults and a six year old. We will have the car so can travel within reasonable distance. Towyn market and funfair on the way home on Sunday.

We've already done the great orme tram, the toboggan and arcades. Son isn't interested in the mountain zoo sadly, unfortunately the aquarium in Rhyl has closed down otherwise we'd have gone there as he loves sealife.

Food recommendations would also be appreciated please, no seafood though.

Thanks all!!

There are always lots of school holiday events for children and families and Bodnant Garden, plus there’s a play area, willow maze and den building area.
Conwy Water Gardens has an aquatic centre, walking trail and an awesome Dutch pancake house!

Further west is lovely, you get a real sense that you're in a different country. There are castles in Caernarfon and Llanberis, and a sea zoo on anglesey. Also Pili Palas, a butterfly house with lots of reptiles and farm animals too. I wouldn't leave without going for a walk in Eryri (Snowdonia). Definitely not Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), it's stupidly busy, but there are so many other, quieter walks, as easy or difficult as you fancy.

Go to Conwy, castle lovely shops and food....parking can be a bit of an arse tho!

Not much in Abergele other than shops.
This may give you some ideas? You can do these on the way there depending which way you are coming.
Roman Villa, Caves, waterfall, Castle, Nice Beach, seals.

Now if the weather is good and you want a quiet beach is only 10 -15 minutes drive away, Conwy Morfa Beach

No problem, any questions just ask, its just over an hour from home so its a place we go to often. Its very varied Beaches, Moors, Mountains, something for everyone and all budgets.
Don't forget to report back and let us know what you thought.
Llandudno is a great base for exploring further afield, Llyn Peninsular is very nice but Ideally you need good weather just over an hour away from Llandudno.
Llandudno has a toll road that has great views

The Towyn Market is held on Tir Prince raceway, the market is a combination of Market Traders, plenty of cheap clothes, Bedding, holiday stuff and a car boot sale all in one. Never been to a Racing event but I believe its a great night out.

Marine Drive Toll Road

The 5 mile toll road is open all year and offers spectacular views over to Anglesey and Snowdonia.

Gypsy Wood in Gwynedd is good for that age group, if you don't mind the drive west.
