This is a good all round family experience. They have lots of animals from around the world and tonnes of experiences to engage in.

I'm not a frequent National Trust visitor, but these gardens are superb - set in a dramatic valley, with everything one could want of a garden: river, stepping stones, ravine, stunning banks of flowers, fields of daffodils, weird-looking and smelling plants, mysterious vegetation-clad buildings, mausoleums, ancient redwoods, old stone bridges, willows, ornamental ponds and much more. Fantastic for kids and adults (from my experience as a kid and an adult).

...sitting on Colwyn Bay with Conway castle behind you and the bay in front.
It's a childhood memory that I have and it was just a simple but lovely time.
