Best for younger children, with an upstairs hands-on science area and well-kept gardens wrapped around a small, walkable museum of Llanelli's history and pottery.

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

A free local-history museum with hands-on science and games rooms sits inside one of the prettier parks around, so a rainy morning and a dry afternoon can both be spent here. The catch is reliability: areas have been found scaffolded off or shut, and a function can end a visit early, so check before travelling far.

โ€œThis is one of those hidden gem places that you stumble upon unexpectedly. As a blow in to Llanelli I really appreciated its insights into local history. The fact its also a one of the most beutiful parks I have come accross is an absolute bonus. We take our Grandchildren to this meuseum. At least four times we have been and spent many pleasent hours with them exploring the hands on exibits. Well worth a visit and its totally free. If the kids get bored after an hour or two there is a great play park and lots to keep energetic kids happy. So all in all my recommendation! Pay it a visit you wont go far wrong. Enjoy......โ€

โ€œFree entrance. A wonderful small municipal museum and art gallery set in a beautiful park. Perfect for children as it's a manageable size and with an excellent hands-on science area upstairs. Friendly and helpful staff. Good collection of paintings.โ€

Overview

A compact municipal museum and art gallery you could stumble on by accident, telling the story of Llanelli and its pottery across rooms small enough that young children never flag. Upstairs, the hands-on science area keeps little hands busy, and the kept gardens outside make the park itself as much of a draw as the exhibits.
