Set deep in the mountains of Southern Snowdonia, sail underground, through a waterfall and back across a thousand years into the darkest of the Dark Ages. Guided by your boatman, explore vast underground caverns and winding tunnels whilst tales of King Arthur and other ancient Welsh legends are told. Complete with dramatic scenes, light and sound this is a real adventure for all ages in all weathers - the underground caverns are cool when hot and dry when wet.

“Great but fast paced”

Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

I can not speak highly enough of the craft village attached to this attraction! we bought some beautiful items and our daughter had great fun painting her own mug. The food available at the cafe was also very nice and there is a small playground to keep little ones amused while you wait for the next tour for the attraction... More

“A great rainy day activity”

Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

This is a great place to visit on a rainy day. The craft village is an excellent place to wander around and while away a few hours. Say hi to Steve the Soringer Spaniel who is the boss at the candle making centre. The labyrinth experience needs to be booked. You need sturdy shoes and warm clothes on plus a... More

Visited here on the 3rd day of our holiday to Wales. Have never been here before, so did not know what to expect - however we were pleasantly surprised! We arrived a bit early for the first show, so bought our tickets from the very friendly lady on the till and had some breakfast in the cafe. The food was... More

Thank you for your great review, despite not visiting King Arthurs' Labyrinth! We're so pleased though, that you enjoyed the Craft Centre studios, Welsh food and drink shop and Y Crochan cafe. Next time you're passing we hope to entertain you in King Arthur's Labyrinth too. More

“Very average”

Reviewed 15 May 2013

On the whole not a bad experience but I would like to have heard more about the history of the mine itself. Kings Arthur and his stories were great for children but some history and background of the mine would be of interest too.

King Arthur’s Labyrinth is, primarily, a storytelling attraction which brings to life ancient myths and legends from Wales. The setting for this storytelling adventure happens to be the dramatic backdrop of an old Welsh slate mine which creates a perfect setting for generating mystery and excitement to the tales. However, we do have a neighbouring attraction “Corris Mine Explorers” which... More

“A great place to visit”

Reviewed 15 April 2013

We have been here several times and we always enjoy it, even though we know the stories inside out and back to front. The journey by boat is a really exciting part of visit and although it's essentially the same journey in reverse there is a different surprise to greet you as you leave. The audio is now very clear... More

“Good fun for an hour.”

Reviewed 10 April 2013 via mobile

You go down an old slate mine and take a little boat trip before walking through different king Arthur stories. It's good fun, and the set ups are good in underground location.
