Set deep in the mountains of Southern Snowdonia, sail underground, through a waterfall and back across a thousand years into the darkest of the Dark Ages. Guided by your boatman, explore vast underground caverns and winding tunnels whilst tales of King Arthur and other ancient Welsh legends are told. Complete with dramatic scenes, light and sound this is a real adventure for all ages in all weathers - the underground caverns are cool when hot and dry when wet.

“Very average”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

On the whole not a bad experience but I would like to have heard more about the history of the mine itself. Kings Arthur and his stories were great for children but some history and background of the mine would be of interest too.

“Good family afternoon out”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

Really good experience, plenty of time down in the labyrinth and a short boat ride as well. My grand kids and husband and I all enjoyed it equally great for all the family.

“A great place to visit”

Reviewed 15 April 2013

We have been here several times and we always enjoy it, even though we know the stories inside out and back to front. The journey by boat is a really exciting part of visit and although it's essentially the same journey in reverse there is a different surprise to greet you as you leave. The audio is now very clear... More

“Good fun for an hour.”

Reviewed 10 April 2013 via mobile

You go down an old slate mine and take a little boat trip before walking through different king Arthur stories. It's good fun, and the set ups are good in underground location.

“Good fun!”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

Enjoyed going down the old slate mine to hear king arthur stories. You take a very short boat ride before being led by a guide to different parts. The craft centre where it is is good for a look around, particularly the pottery one with smoking dragons.

“They could do SO much more!”

Reviewed 7 April 2013

they could do so much more (that wouldnt cost them much if anything) and they simply havent - big shame because it has huge potential. Get some volunteers in to do it for you! Some recommendations - 1. more lights - use them to enhance the show. 2. a can of gold paint on the rock, to look like gold... More

Thanks for your review and suggestions. At King Arthur’s Labyrinth we take our visitors on a journey, which passes through a waterfall and back across a thousand years to the time of King Arthur. The dramatic cavernous setting of the underground Labyrinth provides the perfect backdrop for the retelling of these Welsh legends. The visit, like the stories, is full... More

“Take a barge under ground”

Reviewed 6 April 2013

Visited with grandparents and kids and all enjoyed it. On arriving at Corris craft Centre go and pay for your trip as there will be a waiting period which you can easily fill in the many craft shops and the good cafe.
