Silver Mountain near Aberystwyth is looking forward to welcoming families this half-term with lots to explore at the popular visitor attraction.
Back by popular demand, The Minecraft Quest, an interactive trail set across the attraction’s historic site, returns. Perfect for young explorers and gaming fans, participants are challenged to locate a series of missing Minecraft-style ore blocks hidden throughout the grounds.
Once found, each block’s position must be plotted using a specially designed explorer’s map, helping children build map-reading skills, problem-solving powers and a taste for real-world adventure.
In addition to the outdoor trail, families can also enjoy a dedicated on-site Minecraft gaming station, where children can explore a custom-built digital recreation of Silver Mountain’s mine.
Adding an immersive layer to the visitor experience, the gaming station allows guests to enjoy both the real and virtual versions of the attraction.
As well as these activities, visitors can enjoy a choice of guided and actor-led tours, taking place above and below ground. Reawakening from its winter slumber, The Black Chasm is a thrilling journey into Mid Wales’ ancient myths and grisly mining legends – an experience which delivers plenty of fun, screams and laughter.
For families with younger explorers, the interactive ‘A Dragon’s Tale: The Knight’s Quest’ is a magical adventure to help find Silver Mountain’s shy dragon, Grotty. For a more traditional experience, ‘A Miner’s Life’ offers a fascinating look into the area’s rich mining history.
The admission ticket also includes access to Woohoo Woods, play areas, trails, puzzles and the Mining Museum, packed with historic tools, machinery and stories from the past.
For those seeking a challenge, Ultimate Xscape offers two exciting escape room adventures on-site.
