Gwynedd

Bounce Below at Zip World Llechwedd

Head beneath Blaenau Ffestiniog to bounce on nets strung through the old slate caverns. A session gives you an hour on the nets. Check height and supervision rules before booking, especially if a group of children is going together.

The nets and slides are underground. Bring a layer for the cavern and something waterproof for the walk from the car park.

Wrexham

Xplore! Science Discovery Centre

Follow a beam of light, try the hands-on exhibits and catch a live science show in central Wrexham. Allow two to three hours. If you are planning a weekday escape from the rain, check the public session before you travel.

The exhibits and live science show are indoors. On term-time Mondays to Thursdays, school visits affect when the exhibition opens to the public.
