We fully enjoyed our to the National Botanic of Wales. There was a good selection of and greenhouses, and lots to take in and enjoy. The one thing that they could benefit from is more signage or information about their different gardens. Compared to other botanic we have visited, this one was a little less informative. Our ticket we purchased was good for 7 days, and we did decide to come back in order to access the Birds of Prey center. Note, as of the time of our in July, the no longer give a portion of the entry fee to the birds of prey center, so entry there is by donation, and it’s 3.50 per person for the bird show (well worth it). So while they are only accessible from in the garden, they are operating independently. However our there was a highlight for us. The National botanic of Wales, is definitely worth a although for a one off slightly expensive. If you live nearby a yearly ticket would be highly advisable and I think you would get a lot of use out of it. The both internal and external are superb , there is a nice cafe though a bit on the small side which can cause delays. There are lots of nice walks , though it is on different levels so getting the golf cart from reception to transport you may be advisable. There is a bird of prey centre who displays on site (for a small extra cost) and that is well worth a . This has to be one of my favourite places to in Wales because it's utterly beautiful. Not just the flowers and that you see, but the views that reach far and wide across the rolling Welsh hills. It's tranquility at it's best - and now that they have dog friendly (Mon & Fri) it's even better 🐶🐶. There is a cafe selling a range of food and drinks and a little gift shop (with reasonable prices) There is disabled parking and the main paths are disability friendly and mostly flat, there are toilets located near the cafe and quite a few benches dotted around if you want to take a seat and rest your legs or just take in the scenery! You can pay extra to get into the birds of prey center and watch the shows - the birds are magnificent so definitely one to do. If you prefer a longer amble in nature, head towards the waterfalls which are a pretty amazing sight to see. Adult Admission is roughly £16, you can buy membership for £60 which lasts for a year. Lovely walks to be had around the lakes. The walled was beautiful, the vegetable patches so neatly laid out. Dogs are allowed in on a Monday and Friday each week, but must be on a short lead. We decided to make our trip here on a showery day knowing we'd have glasshouses to dodge in and out of. When the sun did come out the little walled was so pretty, so much veg and perennial flowers to see. As a houseplant enthusiast I loved the small glasshouse in the walled too, full of happy tropical plants. The big dome glasshouse is full of arid and separated into regions of the world, there was work being done while we were there. The cafe and shop are reasonable. There is currently a bird of prey centre which we loved and paid for an owl experience but unfortunately it's moving out of the due to funding being cut, which is a shame. Great place to look round, couldn't get round the entire site, but free entry if you within 7 days. Saw the birds of pray show. All in all a good few out. My husband and I visited the National Botanic of Wales during the height of a storm, and surprisingly, it made the experience even more special! Despite the wild weather, we had such a fun and memorable day. The looked dramatic and in the rain, and watching the water features come to life with the storm was incredible — the waterfalls and streams were really impressive. The Great Glasshouse was the perfect place to shelter for a while; warm, bright, and full of amazing from all over the world. Even though the weather was rough, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and there was still plenty to enjoy. We grabbed a coffee from the café and just watched the rain sweep across the landscape — it was oddly peaceful and very romantic. All in all, it turned out to be a wonderful and unforgettable day out. The are in any weather, and we’d definitely recommend them for couples looking for something relaxing, different, and inspiring. Hidden gem in the area. I was surprised the place was not busier with how many well maintained the are. The entry ticket is valid for a week, so we could return while in the area. There are great walks in the and around the lake. So many different flowers and varied wildlife to photograph. place to any time of the year, now been several times. About 5-10 minutes to get in depending on the time of year. Massive area to walk around and different walks for all capabilities. Disability scooter to hire and staff driven carts on offer. Tickets in advance i don't feel is necessary. gardens, well laid out, plenty of places to sit, relax, take in the flowers. The dome is really well laid out, very warm, but that is what it's there for to keep non native and trees in. Need more than one day there, tickets valid for seven is an added bonus went back next day as was unable to see everything we wanted to. Would go again probably a different time of year. A really enjoyable day out, plenty of variety and inspiration. The cakes in the cafe were delicious. We loved visiting the bird of prey centre within, watching the birds being flown A day spent here. Gorgeous gardens, ideal for a lovely walk and explore the gardens. A lovely tropical house you can spend time enjoying more from hotter countries. Thoroughly enjoyed it, plenty of benches to sit and admire everything. So many butterflies and bees to see getting the nectar. If you want a lovely lunch, go the the restaurant here, delicious food and hot and cold drinks. Once you visited you can come back again within seven with your ticket for free entry.
