Our family visit to the National Botanic Garden of Wales was absolutely lovely. From the moment we arrived, we were drawn in by the peaceful, wide-open landscapes, which are both stunning and calming. It's one of those places where you immediately feel the stress melt away, and you just want to explore.The Great Glasshouse was one of our favourite spots. It's such an impressive structure, and stepping inside felt like being transported to another world. The variety of plants from Mediterranean climates around the globe was amazing. Our kids loved wandering through, spotting unusual plants they had never seen before. It really sparked their curiosity and made the visit that much more special. One thing we appreciated was how much there was to do beyond just admiring the plants. There were plenty of opportunities for learning, with informative displays and hands-on exhibits that managed to be fun and educational at the same time. The focus on nature, conservation, and sustainability was woven throughout the experience in a way that really resonated with us as parents.After all the walking, we stopped at the cafe, which was a perfect little break. The food was delicious, fresh, and locally sourced--definitely a nice touch. It gave us a chance to sit down, relax, and enjoy the views before heading back out to explore more. All in all, the National Botanic Garden of Wales exceeded our expectations. It's the kind of place that feels just right for a family day out--relaxing, inspiring, and full of beautiful sights and experiences. We're already planning to come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and engaging outing with the family.

Really enjoyed our family day out here. Lots of beautiful features and I didn't want to leave the dome due to the lovely atmosphere and temperature in there. Our little one enjoyed doing the Gruffulo trail and finding all the wildlife. She also loved the bees and playing on the play areas! We will be back.

Beautiful place! We visited on a rainy day while on holiday and even with coats on it was lovely to walk around. The Gruffalo trail was great, fairy garden was nice too. The gardens are beautiful and the cafe had some really nice food. Sandwiches were a great price too considering the captive audience and what some places charge. Ticket lasts 7 days for you to go back, we were on holiday so didn't revisit but if we had more time we would have.

Beautiful Gardens, parking was free. On entrance their is a ticket. And then to see the birds of prey was a PS3 ticket for adults. It was definitely a show to see. Toilets were nice and clean. Cafe to sit and eat. Loved our day out. Would recommend the Botanic Gardens.

A lovely display of international flora and fauna. The staff are very friendly, informative, and passionate about their roles, with a wealth of knowledge. Don't forget to check out the birds of prey centre, which they have several flight displays throughout the day for an additional fee. Alfred Russell Wallace's garden was an interesting highlight. But the main attraction of the glass dome with worldwide plants was spectacular. The site appeared to have an excellent disabled access network throughout the facilities. A nice cafe and a well stocked gift shop. Fully enjoyed the visit, would recommend!

This place is a must see. You can spend a day or half or a couple of hours exploring the different areas. There is something for everyone. The kids will love the Gruffalo trail and the playground. The glass house is full of exotic plants and you can enjoy a cream tea inside. There is a large cafe where you can get tasty treats. There is beautiful walled garden and as you exit lots of opportunities to buy plants and other garden objects.
