All three of my children love dinosaurs, so The Dinosaur Park in Tenby was a natural choice for us on our recent holiday to Pembrokeshire. The park was opened in 1994 by husband and wife team Amanda and Simon and, as well as a dinosaur trail through the woods, it’s...
With the schools about to break up for the summer, thoughts are turning to entertaining the kids for a whole six and a half weeks without it costing a fortune. With that in mind, here are 67 family-friendly days out in South Wales, which are all free to visit. This...
I love how my children have no fear of bugs, beetles, insects and the likes. One of their favourite games is to play explorers in our back garden and to see what creatures they find. Mostly woodlice and slugs, I’m sorry to report, but every so often there will be...
It’s a bank holiday this weekend, woohoo, plus another one at the end of the month. There’s so much going on in and around Cardiff on both bank holidays, not to mention the weeks in between. Here are 45 ideas of things to do for families. As always, all events...
Situated in the green hills of Monmouthshire, Raglan Castle is the biggest castle ever built by a Welshman and one of the last medieval castles to built in England and Wales. It was home to Henry Tudor among others, and played its part during the Civil War, with some 800...
The upside of my children’s swimming lessons starting at 8.30am on a Sunday morning is that once they’re finished in the pool, we’re already out and about with the rest of the day ahead of us. Last weekend, we decided to make the most of the sunny weather and head...

Some days I get completely blown away by just how beautiful a country Wales is. Golden sandy beaches, rocky coastline, parkland, mountains, forests – for such a small country, we are lucky enough to have it all in abundance. Granted, we don’t always have the weather to make the most...
Cardiff is a great place for families. Whether you live here or are visiting, there’s so much to do. From a castle, a stadium and museums to theatre, cinema and bowling, there’s plenty to do in the centre of Cardiff itself and because the city is so compact, it’s easy...
I’ve written about Techniquest before on Cardiff Mummy Says, but today I want to focus on their toddler days, because they’re such good fun and really worth a visit. The monthly toddler days usually take place on the first Friday of the month during term time, from 9.30am-4.30pm. As well...
I know I’m Cardiff Mummy but I grew up in Barry and a big piece of my heart will always be there. So when my children said the thing they most wanted to do this week was to go on a train, it was a no brainer as to where...
