Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

All week the website has said it reopens today at 10.30am. After a 45min drive we foind it was shut. Having checked last night we were not happy to have wasted our last day and petrol. Website was changed after our visit. This seemed to happen to another visitor recently so don't rely on it.

My hotel owners recommended a trip here, they handed me an official 'Anglesey Attractions' leaflet. Copper Kingdom advertises as open until the end of October. On Friday October 28th Google Maps plotted my route telling me Copper Kingdom closes at 4pm. Drove all the way to find it had been closed since September !!!

We visited the mynydd parys copper mountain earlier today and really enjoyed it. However, I have to say it was a little difficult to navigate the site and each of the places of interest did not always have an information board telling you about its history. There did seems to be an app you could use but we struggled to download it. A simple QR code at each location would have been a lot more user friendly. Worst of all the car park information board highlighted the modern mine across the road as a place of interest (mark no. 11) but when we went to look at it we were met by an aggressive work person who told us we should not be there and suggested we had deliberately ignored the signs on the barriers along the path (but all the barriers were actually open so warning signs were not visible to us). When we tried to explain that the information board had highlighted it as a place to visit he basically said we were wrong and told us we had to leave! Not a good look for Anglesey or the visitor attraction. Needs sorting out.

In all honesty this isn't a big museum. But it is fascinating for all that. built up against the rock face with water trickling down, gives it a good atmosphere. But a quick visit to Pary's Mountain is needed to complete the experience.

Loved the walk on Pary mountain. But personally think the copper kingdom visitor centre was not worth the money. If your a copper mining enthusiast then you will probably like it but otherwise don't bother. 7 pound per adult and was only in there 10 minutes. The maritime museum up the road was free and found out a lot more.

Can’t really rate hence the reason for a 3. Copper Kingdom was still closed when we went to Amlwch in the last week of July 2020 during Covid restrictions. The website wasn’t clear but it was still Locked up with no indication when it might open. We still visited Parys Mountain and walked around the mines. I have posted a detailed review And have to say it was worth a visit.

We found this an interesting museum with lots of information on the mining in this area. Lots of interactive boards. Awful conditions that the copper miners endured and it made us angry that the man who arranged for the mine to be set up got massively rich and all the miners suffered so much
It was also sad that the mine managed to.extract all the copper in less than 100 years and left a lasting polluting legacy.

Nice little museum however we felt it was expensive for what's there. We are a family of four; 2 adults, 2 early teens. We read reviews before we went and still couldn't work out whether dogs were allowed or not - they are! We followed the museum with a walk at Parys Mountain which made more of a morning of it.

What a great museum we found from our quayside walk in old fashioned amlwch. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and gave grandchildren Stanley and Fiona a 'hunt'to complete with a prize at the end. Great stuff the other 2 hunts we had been on in Angelsey offered no prizes.
I wondered why the staff were in coats but soon found out when we entered as one entire wall is a cool rock face - impressive.

I was there a few months ago, if you buy a ticket for the copper museum the attic museum is a few feet away and you can get one for there like a 2 for 1, so it’s wasn’t more than £5 and well worth a visit. Cafe in the attic museum and toilets etc

Hi there
As we didn't have a dog last year, I'm afraid I don't know. I would however guess they don't.
