A fab day out if the weather is on your side its free to get in but they do like a contribution. Its a long walk around so flat comfy shoes are advised.

St Fagan's is a historical village outside of Cardiff, Wales. From the Central Bus Station, opposite the train station, you can get a bus that goes to St. Fagan's for a few pounds return trip. We thought we would do it as a quick trip, but spent almost five hours there. Each building has a docent, and if you ask,... More

I've visited here a few times over the years but I was most impressed when I was a child and this was brought back to me when we visited with family and the children loved it. Old buildings from all over wells have been dismantled and rebuilt on the grounds of this attraction, mind your head when entering the cottages... More

Family visist, with some family members travelling a distance to the Museum. Particularly wanted to see the House but this was closed for a wedding on Saturday afternoon. Also wanted to see the Working Men's Hall but library and upstairs were also closed. Small train did not run as frequently as advertised so waited 40 minutes. Told this was due... More

Take your camera. Well done to the Welsh authorities for such an excellent outdoor museum of rescued buildings showing welsh life through the years. You really need all day at this attraction, which is fine if you have good weather. The indoor attractions were closed on our visit but we wouldn't have been able to fit them in. Very impressed...

Excellent outside space. Cultural, lots to do for free here. Ideal on a nice day but a bit of rain wont spoil your day. If you havn't paid St Ffagans a visit, do. We live near by and go a few times a year. Take a packed lunch and make the most of the outdoors. beautifull grounds.

The indoor galleries were closed when we visited but there are over 50 buildings which have been rescued and re-sited here, in attractive surroundings, so there's more than enough to see and plenty of walking around the extensive site. The information boards by each building are useful, particularly where they show photos of the property in its original context, and... More

If you don't have much time in Cardiff, make the time to visit St Fagans - it is impressive! A wonderful picture of Welsh life through the ages, set in beautiful grounds.
