What visitors say

Ollie Fitton-Cook

Really spectacular caves coupled to other stuff of varying quality. The cathedral cave is worth a visit on its own, such a great setting with cascading water. The farm and shire horse places are fantastic as well. I have to knock off a star for things I personally find a little unnecessary when you have all this natural beauty, like the dinosaurs. Also the price was steep and the cafe prices were frankly outrageous, asking for an extra £2.25 for each extra in a meal is daylight robbery.

Brecon Show Caves are absolutely stunning! I can't believe I'd never been there before. We decided to ride there on the bikes via Abergavenny, and the journey itself was beautiful. As soon as we entered the first cave, we were amazed. On such a hot day, it was wonderfully cool inside, and we didn't want to leave. The caves are incredibly impressive, but the Cathedral Cave completely took our breath away. Words really don't do it justice—it has to be seen to be believed. The whole site is very clean and well looked after, and all the staff were friendly and welcoming. There's so much to do as well, including the dinosaur park, a small animal farm, crazy golf, and what looked like a lovely campsite. An amazing day out that's well worth the visit. We'll definitely be coming back, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic day in the Brecon Beacons!

A lovely morning out here especially as it was a hot day so being in the caves was very refreshing! The cathedral cave was the best by far, absolutely beautiful. The last cave where you have to wear the helmet probably wasn’t worth the effort but it was a bit of an adventure at least. Very steep hills to climb but is definitely worth it!

A really interesting and fun day out! We took out 2 children age 5 and 3 and although there is some walking involved and a hill to climb up in the dinosaur park (accessible for pushchairs) they loved it. The caves really really cool, well lit with a path to follow. My son loved the dinosaurs dotted around and some of the interactive games like painting your own dinosaur (however, when busy this will be difficult to get to as it's in a small space and will be a queue). There is a little land train to take up up the hill to the park which in itself is a lovely fun experience! (Although you could walk if you prefer) There is a car park at the bottom right next to a gorgeous open pen farm. The kids absolutely loved this! The animals roamed free in the field and the park/play zone was fantastic! We played mini golf which was free, giant snakes and ladders and a little rubber duckie race. All well enjoyed by the whole family. There is a little hut on the farm for little people to use the toilet, however unmanned and no one saying adults couldn't use it too! Would highly recommend. The only issue we had was trying to book, we found the website to be problematic but could've just been our bad signal! We did manage to make the booking in the end.
