The Silver Mountain Experience is all set for the return of The Dragon Egg Hunt, the Mid Wales visitor attraction’s popular Easter event.
Running daily from April 1-16, visitors can explore the Victorian mine just outside Aberystwyth looking for hidden dragon eggs. An Easter treat awaits those who find them all.
As well as the egg hunt, there’s also a choice of guided tours that explore the history of the site and the legends of the area, both above and below ground.
Families with young explorers can experience the interactive actor led ‘A Dragon’s Tale’ tour. Join the quest to find the friendly resident dragon Grotty, where explorers need to solve the puzzles to discover her whereabouts.
For those who are feeling brave, ‘The Black Chasm’ allows them to delve deep into the ancient myths, Welsh legends and gruesome mining history of Mid Wales.
The fascinating history of the mines is covered in ‘A Miner’s Life’ guided tour which takes a glimpse into the gruelling world of Victorian mining.
Other attractions included with entry tickets are Woo Hoo Woods, play areas and various quiz trails. There’s also a mining museum packed with fascinating facts and mining machinery, tools and ephemera.
