We went to the National Slate Museum having no idea what to expect thinking that it might be a boring little trip on a rainy day. However, we were thoroughly surprised to find this museum was a little gem.
There was much to admire, firstly with the ease of accessibility to the facilities and each area of the museum was well presented and enjoyable to view.
There were many interesting artifacts to observe and the history of the slate mining in the area was well documented. Our favourite parts were seeing the mining houses over time (it felt like stepping back in time) and the demonstration of the slate being cut, which was both illuminating and humerous.
Definitely worth a visit, especially on a rainy day!

Great museum, the Chief Engineers wife telling he’s stories and giving a guided tour of the house really made the visit.

Excellent museum great exhibitions and demonstrations. Very interesting really highlights the workings of slate manufacture. The expertise of the workers was something to be proud of it's just a pity it's not operating any more.

Museum is great, definitely worth a visit, however woman in the gift shop was very rude, not welcoming, when I asked her a question she totally dismissed me and my family, didn't want to talk to us, so rude. 2 stars off for that.

The place is very interesting. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, blacksmith, slate trimmer, guides, shop team all great. It's closing in a couple of weeks for a refurbishment. I'm sure it'll be even better when it reopens. Shop on site sells the usual attraction goodies, cafe sells cafe stuff.
Little kids play area, some quarry cottages all dressed up inside. Lots of original artifacts, machines & history. Great place, get along and enjoy it.

A pretty alright actual museum, but with uninviting staff and poor signage making for a confusing experience that feels as if you are not welcome.
