What an awesome day out! This experience really helped us to understand what mining was to the community, the locality and indeed the country. So essential yet also so demanding and ultimately dangerous. The guide “Tony” was an amazing resource and being an ex-miner was full of stories from days gone by. He was funny and welcoming which made the whole thing even more enjoyable. We would very much recommend a visit. Loved it!!!!!!
Went to Santa's toy mine yesterday the staff couldn't have been more helpful, can not praise them enough. The man who took us on our tour talked to all the kids individually and as a group. Santa was amazing, we didn't feel rushed, every child got a magic bell which they got to swap for a present in the toy shop, the choices of present were incredible and we got to have our photo taken with santa as a family.
My grandson loved the whole experience. Highly recommend, in my opinion it was well worth the money given the choice of presents the children could choose from.
Halloween spooktacluar event.
It's nice to go somewhere where they don't charge for everything. They had rides, pumpkin picking, and free activities included in the price
The kids loved this little experience, the place was decorated amazingly the mines were nice staff were super friendly!
Great place to go. I would highly recommend and will be coming back
Thanks
Lovely place to visit and learn lots about Welsh mines and the Welsh coal industry. The tour is a must do, you get to look around everywhere on the site and learn lots of information off your tour guide (Graham did an amazing job!). The gift shop was lovely and featured lots of Welsh souvenirs too!
We didn't get to experience the cafe as it closed at 2:30 pm so keep that in mind if you're going for the 1 pm tour. :)
A great few hours spent learning about the local area and the coal industry. Very informative. Our guide, Tony, was very knowledgeable and engaging
We went for Santa's toy mine. It was the best Santa experience I have ever been to. The eldest is 15 so I have done a few. From now on I am going here every Christmas.
Brilliant piece of history that really opens your eyes to the difficulty people endured in the mines. The dangers and treatment of the miners was awful but such interesting stories to hear. The tour is brilliant and the guide is an absolute gem. Really gets you into the zone with a great twist.
Whilst on a short break to South Wales we visited the Mining Experience, and it was absolutely amazing, it is extremely well thought out, and kept in great condition, the best thing being though, is the personal guided tour by an ex miner, ours being Tony, who was fabulous, very knowledgeable and made the whole thing come together, Thanks Tony.
