Really enjoyed a morning spent here with my 3 children, aged 8, 10 and 12. Our guide had worked in the mines for 43 years and was incredibly knowledgeable, as well as kind and funny with the kids; patiently listening to and answering all their questions as we toured around the buildings and mine. I would definitely recommend this trip to be reminded of Wales' amazing coal mining heritage
Good tour of winding house and a realistic reproduction mine workings with an entertaining and informative ex-miner guide. Young children were kept involved opening air doors and my partner who walks with a stick found it manageable.
A very entertaining and informative afternoon on the tour with John, a fabulously knowledgeable tour guide. The only downside to the afternoon was the fact that the cafe was closed. Run independently, but it was a Bank Holiday and in my opinion should be open if the Rhondda Heritage Park is open.
I came here as part of a school trip. Overall the experience was very good and included a museum area with artefacts, props, sounds and interactive screens, as well as written information. But the best part, for the children and adults alike was the tour of the mine. There were screens with actors dressed as characters from the mine talking to the children and providing information, and the real guide was very informative and built good rapport with the group. There were a few surprises along the way that the children enjoyed. The only minor negatives were that some areas seemed unfinished for example the House of Chocolate and the kids play area was closed which disappointed the children. Overall an enjoyable experience.
Absolutely amazing! Taking the tour with Tony was definitely a highlight of our trip to Wales, he's a genuine miner and is hilarious. We learnt loads and even the two 16 year olds enjoyed it. Its amazing value for money too. Tony you are brilliant at what you do. Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Can't say enough of this place. A MUST MUST MUST go. Our guide I think John was outstanding. The history is unbelievably interesting and tugs on the heart strings a bit too. Great for all ages. We enjoyed a hot tea, hot chocolates, and dessert in the Cafe after. Whether you are a tourist or local, this is a great way to spend an afternoon. I was very impressed.
Really lovely day here , we took the black tour which was really good our tour guide john was amazing , he was so much fun brilliant with the children he got them involved every step of the way , he has so much amazing information and experience in coal mining he made it really interesting and informative for everyone we really couldn't of asked for a better tour guide , there is lots of parking outside , there has a cafe and a souvenir shop and also a crafts shop upstairs, they have plenty of toilets , and baby changing facilities which are extremely clean, they have picnic benches dotted around outside to if you want to take a picnic , there was also different tables set outside with activities for children to do , a really amazing day out I highly recommend

We all had a great time, Graham the tour guide was fantastic. My girls loved dressing up with all the costumes and we all loved the coffee and cakes.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
We went on the gold tour with children. The guide was an ex-miner and very informative/entertaining. The heritage museum have included digital enhancements to the tour to bring to life the history. My kids 11 and 8 were entertained for the hour tour. Going down in the lift into the mine was a great experience. Highly recommend the tour to anyone.
