Kids are full of energy and there’s no way for them to burn it off when they’re cooped up inside all day. Sometimes the best thing to do is just let them work it all off and a great place to do it is The Fun Centre Caernarfon.
It does what it says on the tin - you’ll find a whole host of fun activities for the kids to enjoy including ball pools, swings over nets, high ropes, a dark maze, spinning steps, tumble towers and much more. There’s even a mini go-kart track and Gog’s Driving School on the top floor too, where budding racers can speed round the oval track on vehicles ranging from Ferraris to American trucks.
While the big kids run around through the 1400 sq ft of activities and slide down 25ft high drop slides, the little ones can have their fun separately in the under 5s soft play area.
There’s no need to pack a picnic as the licensed family-friendly restaurant on-site serves up freshly cooked food to help you and the kids refuel.
And if they still haven’t let off enough steam, The Fun Centre also houses a Laser Sport circuit which is ideal for the older kids.

Caernarfon
Caernarfon is known for one thing more than anything else: its mighty castle. This immense fortress dates back to the end of the 13th century – King Edward I of England had begun his Welsh conquest, taking the town of Caernarfon in 1283. The pre-existing motte and bailey structure was demolished under his instruction, and in its place began work on the impressive stone structure we know today.
Caernarfon Castle
Probably the most famous of all the many castles in Wales, and for good reason – its sheer scale dwarfs the others, and the town walls are still remarkably intact. Tourists can walk along a small part of the walls, which offers some fantastic views over the town. Also houses the museum of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
