A weekend in Wales with the kids

2 days For families Built from visitor-rated places

♥ Save as my trip

Some weekends away need a plan the whole family can actually follow, and this one has a pleasing rhythm to it. Day one leans into the things children tend to remember: a morning at Borth Animalarium, a proper sit-down lunch at Coffee#1 to refuel, then an afternoon at the Amusement Park, exactly when everyone's energy needs somewhere to go.

Day two dials things back a little. You begin at Small Breeds Farm Park, where smaller hands and smaller animals usually get along nicely, and finish at Llanthomas Castle Mound for fresh air, a bit of history and a gentle wander before the drive home. Two days, five stops, no heroics: enough structure to head off the endless "what are we doing now?", and enough slack to linger wherever something catches their interest.
